Is anyone else having problems with heading. I just can't get the hang of it. It seems very hit and miss, sometimes i can manage but most of the time i can't win a header although i still press the buttons the same as when i do.
I dread giving away a corner because 95% of the time the opponents win the header.
Any tips. please.

SUCCESS, since my last post i have headed two goal bound efforts, but with the strength of a wet lettuce and i have headed a few more outfield as well.
Very difficult to master, spoils the game a little bit.

What is working for me is two taps on the Y button while the ball is in the air, so if you miss time with the first one you can get it with the second.

Well i really went and done it today.
Gerrard broke from right of midfield as he did Murphy started a run down the right wing, Gerrard delivered the thru ball and Murphy crossed it first time. Diouf on the edge of the six yard box dived and HEADED it past the goalie.
I don't know how much it was down to me or pure luck but i don't care.

Have not scored one from that range but i haven't tried.
Scored a few 40rd free kicks though. The design and method of the freekicks is the best i have used.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. The only words of comfort I can offer are that it's get better and the pain will ease with time.
It's taken about a month but I can win about 70% of headers outside the goal area and I have even manage to score a few but your right it does not spoil the game it's just more satisfying when you get your head to it and the net ripples.
