Which aspects cause a penalty shoot out game appear realistic?
Realism stems from exact physics and handling. A great game enables nuanced shot aiming. You can target the upper corner or drill a low shot, with the shot affected by a power meter. The goalkeeper needs to have clever, different movements. Visual details add as well: player run-ups, ball swerve, and net movement. Sound design brings another level. Listen for crowd noise and the thud of the ball. Sophisticated games may even include pressure mechanics or player fatigue for added complexity.
