I have tried to be patiant, trying all sorts of things but i am consistantly conceding goals from crosses that go across my defence. For example from the opp. right winger. Crossing so the ball ends up behind my right back and the opp. left winger smashes it in.
its so frustrating, as i also concede ALOT of goals from deep crosses that are headed in. I have very good defenders who have excellant stats in heading / anticipation / positioning, but i still concede so many goals.
Its even more annoying because i have always focused on solid defence in CM/FM and i hate conceding goals!
Sorry one more thing, losing the lead... the amount of times i have gone up 2-0 in the first 20mins and by the end of first half been either 2-2 or down 3-2 is ****ing me off. I almost uninstalled the game yesterday.
I have tried so much over 2 seasons. I mean, closing down the opposition wingers leaves to much space in behind. Pushing your defenceu up is to risky as the AI seems hell bent on punishing if you go anywhere beyond 10 yards outside your own box even if you are playing against a dr.martins team.
Obviously playing deep does no good at all.
What oppoisition instructions? guess i could ask the Wing backs to mark wingers tightly. will give that a go i guess
You didn't specify whether you're using man-marking or zonal for your defense, but if you're using zonal you could try switching to man. Since your defenders are good compared to the opposition strikers/wingers in theory your defenders should be able win most aerial battles. Also, you shouldn't have as many problems with crosses going across your entire defense to the other winger if your fullback is already marking him.
Set your full-backs to man mark instead of zonal mark. If you then find a striker is getting too much space (due to the full-backs marking someone else and one centre-back probably marking air, like Ive often seen), have your centre-backs man mark as well.
If so, it might be worth playing a DM to cover any upcoming central midfielders, since the centre-backs are already busy.
Havent tried this myself enough, so let me know what your results are if you're gonna try it.
ok basically, i fixed the problem and have now gone 12 games without conceding. Before every game i put tight marking on the opposition wingers or people who are likely to put crosses in. Also i changed my tempo to slow so i have more of the ball and so i am less prone to counter attacks. It has worked a treat... so far
Same mistake again and again...
