The sweetspots for certain weapons just seem so absurdly small that you're more likely to hit with the haft of the weapon than the actual damaging part. Even if it's realistic, it feels way too restrictive given the way combat plays out. Also the sweetspots of the animations themselves seem worse than warband's somehow, with my weapon glancing in what should be the sweetspot of the swing and doing full damage at the tail end of it. If nothing else they certainly need to make swings do max damage earlier in the animation.
