Headers

[Pro P.I.M.P]

Everytime i play against my mates i never win headers! Anytime the ball is in the air my mates player always wins it & it comes to another of his players! The rare occasion that i win a header it is weak & doesn't come to my players! I always hold :R2: and bring my man towards the ball but I cant win the header! My mate thinks he has a trick of how to win headers but I think it is just that i am doing something very wrong!

It's not always a question of what your pressing. The form and abilities of your players and your oponents also matter. If you've got a striker with 80 header against a defender with 95 you won't win too many.

Apart from that i don't know what to suggest other than make sure you pick out the right cross for the right situation.

Timing. You have to press either x or square at the right time to have more chance of winning the header. If you press either before you're in the position you want to be for the header, you'll mess it up, or miss it complete. Say you have an attacker with 80 for heading and the defender has 95, if you time it better than the defender, you won't head the ball yourself, but it does a nice spoiling job. I play on 6* with Armenia Bielefeld and win 40-50% of headers, and the CPU wins 20-30% with this tactic (the other 20-40% just hit off one or both of the players and fall less than 3ft away)

Note: Never use R2 unless shooting, or you create a massive hole in your defence.

I find it that I usually score headers with the short cross (double O)

Try using super cancel to move ur player. when you get used to it, it helps with positioning much better than R2
