My frustration in this new game is getting to the level of me wanting my money back.
I've been playing this game for years and never have i seen a situation/bug like it, honestly. I've been playing with my tactics like a madman trying to counter this but yet nothing, it seems every single cross from the byline falls nicely into the feet of a opposition forward to tap into the back of the net, it's sickening, repetitive and hardly enjoyable.
Is anyone else finding this? Have you managed to counter it or am i having some sort of bad luck?
To explain the history of this i've played two clubs Velez (got fired for bad results) and bottom club Norwich (not sure how i got the job but i took it on) i'm playing a 4-2-3-1 much like Chelsea's formation with 3 attacking midfielders sitting behind a target man, i also play an away or vs big team formation 4-5-1 which is very deep with defensive wingers.
I've tried all types of setting from very rigid to very fluid, full backs set to defend. Defence both pushing up and sitting back, narrow and wide, offside trap, no offside trap... Yet still the same types of goals every game.
I'd moan less if it was a veration of goals but it's not it's just crosses and tap in's with my defenders being no where to be seen.
HELP!

I'm using 13.1.3 which i presume is the newest patch, right?
Jason
Thats right. Try starting a new game.

I've ended up with a new team going to test out the same tactics to see if it was just sheer bad luck or not.
If not ill start a new game although the update was already install before i started this save.

I still get decent results, just dread a cross coming in because they almost always end up in the back of the net.
As I say, it doesn't seem to be a major problem, just slightly higher than normal.

the fullbacks can't block the crosses, never, not even one time, the central back can't mark the strikers, or score own goals... opp. strikers score from far post with ZERO angle...

I suggest defending deeper and giving your full backs, if you use any, less freedom and more defensive mentality with man marking. I have a rigid philosophy set with my full backs (auto) in my 4-2-3-1 and I never seem to have a problem with crosses. Just make sure your full backs have pace.

This kind of thing happens in every FM. Eventually it gets fixed. I still don't see it as a problem here, though (but I noticed a lot of goals from crosses.)
