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.

Well I haven't reached the header point yet, I just rented this game, and really I am not much of a sports person(cept hockey) let alone sports games, but this...man I can't stop playing it and I can't get it out of my head...great f#&*'n game!

think ive solved it, kinda cheeply but wat the hek! Instead of pressing y to win a header use b and x to do like volleys n stuff! Except you usually head the ball! Works for me anyhow!

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.

Yea I wish you could save the replays of your great goals, that would be sweet, but I still have a problem with the headers in this game, i dont have a problem with it being hard to score off of a header, i just dont want it to be nearly impossible.

Personally I don't mind that it's hard to score off headers. IMHO it's much more realistic that way, since headers are pretty much hit-and-miss in RL as well. If I could score half the time I headed the ball in FIFA 2003, I'd lose interest in the game rather quickly. This way, I just watch the replay a couple of times (it's almost like scoring 5 times in a row, LOL) Just like when I scored my first goal using a freestyle move to get around the last defender, it was just too sweet ... must've watched the replay 10 times, hehe.

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.

If You wanna get good headers it's about timing. if you keep getting pushed in the back your jumping too soon and if your shots are weak then your too late. aim to press y (or tap twice, both work for me). Also for bycies and scissors tap y twice as the ball is after dipping down and is close to you. when heading aim to jump abouy 2 thirds/ 3 quarter way through the cross, waiting more or less depending if it is a drilled shot or a high lob. this is wat works best for me hope it works.

I have tried to tap y constantly and I can win about half the air balls at midfield and on my defensive end but I cant get any around goal, I have still been able to head in a goal only once in all of the games I have played.

I find tht if I continually tap the "Y" button while the ball is in the air, I win about 50% of headers. But it seems to get more difficult closer to the goal. I scored once with a diving header, but I haven't been able to do it since.
