I've been playing with the posted physical restraints file for 2/3 of a season in the Swedish premier league and my team is 0 for 8 at converting penalties this year.
Has anyone else noticed changes to penalties? If not I suppose my team is just profoundly unlucky.

Not sure this is related or not, but with the Bill Gates 6.0 patch I saw my first ever goal scored from a penalty rebound. The keeper dived to one side and saved the penalty but the rebound went to the other post and my penalty taker raced in to pounce.

The post match summary in my Inbox was misleading though. It said "Elite striker Erling Haaland had the chance to score from the penalty spot on the 55 mark but David Raya was able to deny him".
The next line was "Haaland completed the rout on 55 minutes with a volley from within the six yard box".

Uhm ... that 55th minute goal was the rebound from the penalty!

Hi ... first time poster, but casual FM veteran from way back (CM 01/02, FM06, FM11, FM14 - 18 and now FM20).

I just wanted to say thanks to BillG, RellomQ, Thiago and all those who worked on the physical constraints JSON file. I have the BillG 6.0 version and am currently 10 league games into the season and it has been great.
To me, the patch is worth downloading for just one reason alone ... it removes one of my pet hates in recent FM versions ... the ridiculous rebound distance of the ball.

Ever had the situation where the opposition is packing the bus and your midfielder's shot on the edge of the 18 yard box is blocked by an opposition player only for the ball to bounce all the way to the halfway line where their lone striker is waiting to pounce?
Well that ridiculous bounce no longer occurs and it makes the game so much less frustrating.

That alone makes the patch worth downloading.

Now if only I can get my players to not do a backpass to the keeper from the 18 yard box when we are 0-1 down ...
