Fix the bloody heading
Fact is this is all about playing the 1-2 through ball rubbish and crosses are dead.
How can you say this was Esports ready when its still broke now is beyond me , how many weeks is it 5-6 and this is worse than any other fifa from the start.
Disgusting.

Headers are fine this year and I'm saying that using two target man upfront (Crespo & Dzeko) so I would benefit the most from increased headers - we don't need that again. Percentage of heading goals is just as it should be. I also conciede goals from far post headers and corners all the time. It's inconsistent but not broken. People call broken everything they can't exploit and turn into certain goal.
So you think its not broken when players with 90+ heading accuracy cant even hit the taget with open headers most of the time? I really dont understand what people are on about. I agree that random crosses should not get rewarded but crossing it to your OPEN striker should result in a goal most of the time.

They also ruined volleys every since the last patch. Crossing is now completely useless. Not even players like Van Basten can score Volleys and direct shots consistently. Didnt they claim that they nerfed heading beacuse they want less RNG? Then how on hearth do you put that much RNG into finishing. Its absurd what they have done.

The game has a lot of flaws but I can score headers, they are not always guaranteed as they should be, it just takes time to learn who can and will hit them in. I think a lot of factors come into play, I prefer a fast player that can get into space and connect versus a slow player that has high jumping and heading stats which will hardly move to the connection.

Even passing headers are unrealistically difficult to pull off.
Most of the time players fail or they fall. If, thanks to a miracle, they reach the ball, it goes anywhere but where you are pointing the header.

Heading is completely broken , shooting is broken , passing is almost ok , goalkeepers are overpowered , player positioning is mental , defending is unresponsive at times , catch up is on the game just like a racing game like Grand Tourismo , momentum change is massive in this game 17 shots 15 on target to 4 shots 2 on target and the one with less shots wins , they cant say get better at shooting when assisted is on and your fifa lvl is 120 and always finish in gold 3-2 every week.
Even match fixing come too mind just so lesser players still engage in ultimate team and spend.

From EA's FAQ
Q: Are there any plans to increase the effectiveness of headers or improve the chances of having a successful header? In particular, scoring goals from headers off of crosses or corners seems very challenging so far in FIFA 20.
A: Based on feedback from FIFA 19, both from players directly and based on our own data, the decision was made to make crossing and corners less effective in FIFA 20, resulting in less goals from headers. A big part of this decision is an effort to promote skill differentiation and the idea that most of the goals that are scored are the direct result of player actions
While we are always looking at ways to improve the game, at the moment we don’t have any plans to change this in FIFA 20.
The response is laughable, they just replaced crossing with run down the wing and cut back.

I find this even more frustrating than the shooting headers. Infuriating when I can literally pull off a better header in Sunday league than what my virtual professional player can do in a game...

Kind of like regular passes then also when the computer says no even a simple pass is somewhat of a struggle

I hope they keep headers as they are. No reason to make it easier to score.
Do you play online? I have noticed when playing squad battles that headers go easier on the goal. Online it's just frustrating
I play online. As "easy" there as in SB.
I think most people need to learn how to aim, it seems the aim is narrower this year than before, so at first my shots and headers where going wide.
But the key is still the pass, you wont win many duels for headers infront of goal, your target needs space.
Aiming isn't the issue. Watch the replays back, the ball rarely goes in the direction of the aiming arrow even when it's stable. L1+R1 helps a little.
Aside from headers from crosses, even simple uncontested headers in the middle of the pitch don't work with any real consistency. Clearance headers in your own box will often go out for a corner or into the middle of the pitch just outside the box, regardless of where you aim.

EA manager - Right guys, the community wants us to reduce the effectiveness of the overpowered headers from last year. Any ideas?
EA developer - How about we chop out a load of the heading code and just use a random number generator to decide which direction it goes in?
EA manager - Hmm, sounds ok, but what if they press a direction with the header button? Shouldn't we base the ball direction on that?
EA developer - Nah, don't forget the game lags like crazy and half the time the buttons don't do what they expect anyway, they won't notice a difference
EA manager - Ah good point, I'll stick it in the FAQs that we're revolutionising the header control system so they think we're listening. Get on it guys!

Yeah they're pretty catastrophic and lead to a super one dimensional gameplay. if someone is running down the wing you just have to time when they're going to cut in and job done as there's no chance of people crossing 🤷♂️
I think the % of time your attacker wins the header is ok, it's just that 95% the time the ball goes at 2mph into the ground, up in the air or miles off target

I missed countless open goals because of this. I understand some players are better than others, but this is beyond the joke. An actual professional footballer, no matter who he is, wouldn't be making these misses. I agree something needs to be done

Ive really lost faith in the way this game works, i used to think the stats of players dictated how he performs ie 90 jumping and heading means he is great in the air, but now i realise the stats mean nothing, what is the point in having so many individual stats for players when they dont mean anything, its just random numbers on a spreadsheet that have no bearing on the game any more

What do you mean by "the aim beeing narrower" ?
Do you mean you have to press the shoot/head button later or earlier or do you mean something else?
I would really like to know, as I am actually scoring some headers but i would like to score more.

The aiming with the stick seems to be in a smaller window. You cant hold the stick aimed to far at the corners of the goal.
But as pointed out by someone else, you still have more poor attempts in fifa 20 even if you aim right, thats down to the engine, cant learn how to beat that.
But i like that its not an autogoal as soon as you connect with the ball.
