50-50 Headers (not!!)

[smjwright]

Does anyone else have problems with 50-50 headers. Everytime I go up for a header at the same time as an opponent (no matter what player) I end up dumped on the floor while the ball drops nicely for the opponent to stroll off with it...

WHY ???????

make sure the player going for the ball has good jump, head and balence.

if you are jan koller and you're against r. carlos you're sure to win the ball!

i have no probs whatsover with headers, there the easiest thing to do for me and corners are easy.

 

[f3n1xtx]

i think a person's height, jumping is most important.. no way you can control carlos untill he win Koller he in the air!

I find defending against Kanu is difficult because he is so tall... even Nesta struggles!!

The COM is biased! I total understand your frustration mate......

 

[Giggsy11]

I hate it when u dominate the match and then someone like shev scores with there first attack.

so frustrating!

yeh the com can be rigged sometimes.. you can have 3 defenders with good height and jump..but still lose a header..it's all about chance and when the com feels like scoring a goal. The best way to prevent it..is to score as many goals as possible..so when the com feels like it..it will be to late for the com to make a comeback!

When going for a header, hold R2 to move your player into a better position.

Alternatively, just stand there if the ball is heading for you and take it on your chest.

Sometimes in the heat and pace of the game this should be avoided.

Often using this method the player does'nt even go up for a header or get anywhere near because it can be fiddley trying to reposition your player.

i just keep pressing X and the direction of who i want to pass to,and that nearly always works for me.

 

[SilvesterWong]

the R2 method by zyggy works sometimes. but at times, the player will "R2" too much and gets himself out of position.

i think timing is very important if it's a 50-50 header.

but if's the COM player has all of his position in the world, even R. Carlos could beat Nesta on header.

hmm... i actually don have much problems with this... in fact, i abuse it actually. scored a couple of headers with okacha and saha when they were surrounded by 2 defenders in e box or more... even beaten the keeper to the header a few times as well... i guess instead of tapping the heading button multiple times, maybe you shld hold it instead... but not too early... it's all bout the timing i guess.

hope i've helped.

So true. After all you got to 'tell' the application to Jump, the code is not telepathic.

I never get this problem. In fact I rely on Vieri to head most of my goals as Inter seeing as they seem incapable of forming good link up play

 

[Giggsy11]

I don't have a prob, when i play my mate and i score a header he's always like 'god, another header'..'thats the only way u can score' cos i score loads

WHY ???????

probably because you have no ability
