Crossing?

you can do a number of different type of crosses, short and long, also to the edge of the box etc, kinda hard to explain but I'll do my best, as we all know, pressing O once does a long far post cross, twice does near post and 3 times does a grass cutter pass.
then you have the directional buttons which also tweak them too, say you're running down the right wing shooting to the right side of the pitch, you wan't a far post cross (one press of O), you can flight the ball in 3 ways but using the directional buttons, press up for a very long cross, that goes past the far post (and usually to far and goes out for a corner), press in the direction away from the goal (behind you), for a mid range or outside of the box cross depending on where the reciever of the ball is, it should go directly in line with the far post, finally press down on the direction, to flight a ball in to the middle of the goal, around the line of the penalty area, just in front of the far post, and vice versa for running down the left wing.
hope this helps, I'll try and mock up some pitcures for you too if you want me to, could take me a day or two though?

I'll try and see if I can get them done today, I think it'll be 3 pictures one for once press of O, then for 2 and 3 respectively, and I'll show what I mean by up and down on directions when I do the pics
a good video that might help is this one:

however it's not what I'm talking about and is a bit more advanced to how I cross the ball, might be worth giving it a try though
this pic uploaded is with one click of the O button, the blue dots are the player, as you can see if you press the up button when crossing, it goes to the man furthest away, down goes to the nearest man, and finally left, goes to the man just inside the box
this pic shows what happens when you put in a near post cross, as in the first pic, the up direction goes to the man furthest away, down, closest and left to the man furthest away from the goal.
3 presses of O is basically the same just with a low ball, play around with it and see how you get on, also I do recommend that video link I gave, especially the bit that shows the range of player crossing (0:20-1:35)
I have to apologise for my poor diagrams, being a media student I should be much better than that so I sincerely apologise, anyway, I usually use the left button with however many presses of O I feel necessary, so me I feel it gives me a little bit more space and I'm not directly in front of the goal tying to battle for quick headers which often result in going over the bar, that extra room really can make all of the difference, anyway I hope this helps, get back to me soon
p.s. invert the buttons if you're crossing from the other side, or opposite direction

L1+cross = player looks up before crossing
R2+cross = extra high cross
and the normal ones explained above, they can all be combined.
Not to mention L1+analogue manual cross
