hmmm i think the crossing is ok. I've managed to score quite a few headers or volleys from crosses already. Its been toned down abit compared to 2010 where lotsa crosses ends up finding ur teammate's heads resulting in bullet headers that leave keepers flapping. Now its abit more random in that sometimes the angle is against them and the crosses dun make it or the headers get really off target.
The one thing that i've come to notice is that u gotta take note of the location of ur teammates juz when ur about to make the cross now. And u've gotta determine wad type of cross is best suited for the situation. Compared to the juz randomly hit it and let it work out scenarios in 2010. If he's heavily marked normal crosses aren't gonna work, u'd wanna maybe try floating the cross instead (R2+circle). If ur striker has managed to shrug off his marker, double-circle or triple-circle crosses or simply a powered through pass can work. If u've managed to steal the ball off the opponent and wanna initiate a quick cross try the early cross (L1+circle). Sometimes u might even wanna try and dwell on the ball and wait for ur teammates to rush into the area before even crossing. I've been working quite abit on this in ML so i would say it definitely does work sometimes.
