AI crosses the ball for both your team an opposition mate.
I could only suggest getting players who are good in the air ( which is quite obvious). Also marking an positional sense are needed!
But it really depends what marking system your useing too..if your zonal..positioning stat is more important.
Maybe you could try pushing your defensive line up abit..again it depends where your conceding these headers ( Open play or freekicks/corners)
Just keep fiddling..(it certainly wont make you blind) an im sure with a little patience you'll find yourself conceding less (headers)

It's not a bug, you are not making what you need to do to stop those crosses.
Check OI, check your players stats, check your tactic and see if your players fit it, check other team subs, check other team tactic and style of play, check your game preparation, check your FBs and CBs, check your shouts!
FM13 in not just plug and play, that is over my friends.
If you concede tonnes of goals from crosses, your you have a bad team or you are a bad coach.
Sorry if it sound rude

The fact you use a back 3 is probably your problem... The opposition wingers will have far too much space down the wings, and if one of your centre-backs go to close him down, there will be then too much space in the middle. Back 3s do generally not work against teams that focus down the flanks
When this happens to you, try to record which team you played against, and if you spot a pattern of certain playstyles working against you, try to adjust your tactics when playing the same teams. In your case, teams relying on speedy wing play have an advantage in crossing into your area. Usually with a back 4, your wingers can mark their fullbacks while your fullbacks mark the opposition wingers. So if you leave your defensive wingers to try to track back and defend their wingers, you are outnumbered 2-1 since their fullbacks may overlap. This is why 1 tactic is not sufficient for every opposition team.
Mate..your CB's are fine..man i wish i could afford CB's like that lol!
Its most likely like scotty said...formation.
Now its alright sayin uve got def wingers (if there really is such a thing) who come back an make a back 5, but obviously when they do theyre not doin their job right, which is to stop the crosses in the first place!
The match engine does have its problems...so its hard to necessarily play your ideal tactic..an until its polished, you may have to submit to another...more comformed way of play.
Anyways after winning 4 league titles, 3 italian cups and 2 champions leagues...you shouldnt be asking for help...you should be offering it lol!

You have misunderstood the role of a def. winger. They name is a bit misleading, they do not come back to defend, they push high up the pitch and win the ball back from the fullbacks, then keep it up there till more players come. Change them to Wide-midfielders, with either a defending or supporting duty depending on who you are playing/what kind of players they are!
Also, in there player-instructions, set them to man mark the opponents wingers and have them do tight marking!
I had some problems from set-pieces and general crossing. I nullified that by putting my medium d-line a bit deeper, defensive set pieces and changed fullbacks to no runs forward with the ball and crippling their creative freedom. For teams that play a slower tempo than I do, I just push the defensive line back up.
Lots of tinkering. Nothing drastic to advert from your style.

I understand now, Ive tweaked my tactics and now play with wing backs which are much more effective ... Also, them CB's were bought when they were young all for under £5m ... I am now on a 32 game unbeaten run in the league and have only conceded one from a cross, Thanks for the help.
The most upsetting thing is i work **** hard trying to get blackburn up, keep them up and now im looking like im going down and the stupid ******* at SI have released a game with far too many faults! and when they release updates to fix the issues they wont affect my save because my game save pre-dates the release
very upset right now
this picture sums it up really View attachment 291491

Firstly, notwithstanding our rules on appropriate language, just so you know, one of our mods is one of those "stupid *******" (and he also happens to be a good friends of mine) so I would be incredibly careful about what you say next. Especially when you have zero idea about the difficulties of balancing a match engine.
Secondly its actually relatively easy to deal with crosses. If the AI are stopping yours and you are not stopping theirs, that's not a bug issue, that's tactical/player. Key is to not let the cross in, that means setting OIs on the winger, or giving your full back less opportunity to get forward, closing down/tight marking them, if you have the players to do it that is. That said, there are defensive tweaks coming.
Thirdly the patch will affect your save, it always has.

I'd also like to add your not actually helping us help you. You haven't given us any tactical/formation screenshots or information at all... unlike Henry!:S

Defending the flanks could be better in FM, hence the updates but even as it stands its still possible to do a good job of preventing it.
Firstly, im mad, i have an opinion is that not allowed? i may have no idea of how to balance a match engine but you arent in the shoes i am in, dealing with relegation and the same predictable diabolical story that happens every game where im being battered from crosses NEVER EVER from the middle
secondly, opposition instructions havnt worked, tweaking dl hasnt worked, man marking hasnt worked
thirdly, thank you, that is my most constructive thing you have said in your post
Look, if i was a newbie to this game and not been playing for 7 years it would be easy to dismiss my aggreviences but when i know i am a good manager, on top of that has never pirated the game, always bought it full price i becomes very difficult to hear that there is no problems
if there was no issues with the game why are we havng a third update before xmas coming?
Course you're an allowed an opinion-that's what a forum is for. But you have to keep it constructive and without foul language or insults. It's get's you nowhere.
