My player gets a great pass and has lots of time and a huge space where he can run with the ball. But it's all useless because my payer usually stops until opponent players catch him and take the ball. Is there anything I can do about this?

Other thing I was wondering is that why on earth do 90% of my crosses hit opponent players?

I would also be intersted to know why. My guess is it has to do with the player's creative freedom. I think I've read somewhere that if creative freedom is too low then the player will dwell on the ball. So maybe raising it a bit would help. Can anyone confirm this?

Does the player have Likes to dwell on the ball as a PPM? I know Leroy Lita does and he's always doing this for me. Really annoying at times, but he still scores so I don't mind too much.

at times it's mostly a poor 1st touch

Maybe hes set to hold up ball, or normally I find its a creative freedom problem and it will be set too low.

yea this seems to definitely be a tactical problem, i can't say its because of bad attributes etc, as time after time i witness much lesser opposition players being smart and going forward with the ball.

Maybe it's too low creative freedom. My wingers are not on hold up ball but they usually act really slowly after they've received the ball.

How about crossing? Can I do anything about it? Surely crosses should not hit opponent player almost every time even if there is no one near.
