One of the biggest problems with the Soviet system (other than their profound lack of democratic input in the allocation process) was the fact that they simply couldn't keep up. The planners in Gosplan balanced inputs and outputs like it was a chemical equation, and did so in a highly aggregated manner that left out important details. In addition, they often only did this process for the first thousand products or so because it was just too much for people to do by hand.
Big Data, computers and the Internet completely change the game.
