Quote:The problem with this is that the box is only 18 yards.. currently the penalty spot is at 12 yards. Moving back 10 yards will mean it's outside of the box resulting in a freekick..

 

When I state move back 10 yards, I mean take the penalty kick from 22 yards back on lesser severe penalties (classify 3 types of penalties as #1 most severe to #3 least severe) then have the player take the penalty kick from 12 yards or 17 yards or 22 yards (even if the kick comes from outside the box).  This gives the goalie a fair chance to stop a goal on a penalty that is incidental and most likely would not have resulted in a goal anyway.
