Been playing this for a while now, and I've got the hang of going through the middle and sticking it in the back of the net.
But from the wing with crosses or from corners, it all seems like its just "pot luck" if you connect with it or not, not to mention whether the ball lands in the place you intended it to do so.
Any tips for scoring from crosses or corners?
Some tips:
Single Tap Circle (assuming you are using PS2 pad) - Normal high cross
Double tap Circle - Chest level cross (i do these most of the time)
Triple Tap Circle - On the floor cross (great if the striker gets goalside of defender)
Assuming you are crossing from the right wing, attacking left, so bottom of the screen.
When crossing hold:
Up - cross to back post
nothing - penalty spot
Down - front post.
Combine them when you can see where you man is and you should be able to get on the end of the crosses more often
Corners
Try and wait until some attackers move and get in front of their defender and only use half the power gauge to get a low cross in for them to header/volley.
also when shooting/heading, keep tapping the button as much as possible as this helps barge people out the way.
hope some of this helps, if you knew it already, sorry.
Oh and also, if you hold L1 and press Circle wherever you are on the pitch it puts the ball towards the penalty spot, which can be good for early crosses.
edit: lol, just read other posts, someone already posted all of this
