The rule revision you're alluding to is merely focused on the statistical outcomes and advantage distributions, and not aesthetics. > I prefer to see penalties where the kicker focuses on the skill of putting it in a spot nd the keeper responds to that It's fine that you prefer this, but this isn't what the penalty rule is about. The rule is balanced so that you create a sufficient advantage for the taker. If you pile requirements on the taker, you probably need to compensate with other advantages (ex: take the penalty from 10m instead of 11m). I can see why this is not something that FIFA would want to touch, ever.
