Exactly, remove 'near post flick' so no-one in the team has it.
I set mine up with 1 at 'far post' 2 attacking 'far post' a tall player 'challenging GK' and a couple of players outside the area.
It's a mazing how many times the ball ends up with the 'outside area' guys after a scramble, sometimes they have a shot and score or they'll setup one of the guys that went to the far post. :thup:

Set your corner distribution to 6 yard box 1. No one on near post flick on 2. Best header on Challenge GK 3. 2nd best on attack far post 4. Third best on attack near post 5. One on stand on far post 6. one on forward 7. 2 on attack ball from deep 8. 1 outside area 9. leave 2 behind

It makes me chuckle seeing the AI teams try the near post flick on and watching them miss by a mile every time. Most corners seem to be like this so I don't worry about conceding corners much now.

I dunno, the near post flick does seems to work in my game, but it's like 1 in 25 corners.

I'm more upset with the fact that i instructed my players to go for the FAR post and they still managed to find the guy at the NEAR post!

Remove him then, don't let any player near the near post.
