We are aware of issue with goals from crossing being too effective, especially towards players at back post, this is being investigated and under review.
Lads, the point of the BETA release is for people to play the game and identify any bugs BEFORE the main release on Nov 2. If you find a bug then report it on SI Games forum and it should, hopefully, be fixed in time for the full release or first patch. Lots of people moaning about flaws and bugs but not reporting them defeats the purpose of a beta releaseI've seen in a few different places that crossing is majorly OP, just wondering if there was any truth in it as this could be a real game killer!
Exactly. Big Sam and Tony Pulis are having wet dreams about this match engine!has no body realised u can use this to ur advantage. im managing AFC wimbledon. Jack Midson (6ft 2") as target man, on tactics set crosses to "Float Crosses" JM has scored 7 in 3, 6 from headers from crosses.
Use it before u lose it
Should be automatically updatesI have tried different tactics over the past 3 season and still can't deal with the "effective crossing". Is this something that's simply unstoppable due to a bug in the game ? As i have progressed far into my 4th season will i have to restart in order to receive the updates when FM is released or will they automatically be imported into my save with the exception of transfers ?
How do you select the size of pitch on 2013 ? I would say 90% of the goals i concede are from crosses. Someone made a recent post saying SI were aware of the crosses being too effective so i guess its a bug some gamers are experiencing.Not sure on the updates mate but i play a 4-3-3 narrow formation on a small pitch and i dont concede many from crosses!
Agreed. I put my fullbacks and wingers on man marking and tight marking the opposition wingers and results have improved. You will still concede goals from crossing but it is much more stable and will be fixed on release day/first patchRE: defending against crossing I put a lot of work into defending (positioning and defence training) and I have noted that I don't concede anywhere near what is being reported from crosses/ set pieces. Point being the engine may be flawed until the full release but you can adapt - like you would have to IRL.
