Most of the time when I get scored on it's because of a corner kick and someone's always left open in the box to score on a header. Does anyone have any good tips on this?

On a side note, is there a site that helps you customize FIFA 2000, like changing the adboards, and to know what files on your computer are for what?

Thanks.

Defending on corner kicks has always been my weakness since I started playing the FIFA series - I am glad to hear I am not the only one.

I have had more success in FIFA 2k though, by following the ball, switching defenders as quickly as possible and going up hard!

Sometimes I think the computer crosses and idenfensible ball.

On the other hand, I think one of the great improvements of 2k is the ability to score headers against the computer. I am much better in the air in 2k, including those nice set pieces off of corners.

Keep plugging.......

I have found that somtimes using shoot to head the ball out of danger is better because your defender will become more aggressive in attacking the ball.

Also, to defend a set piece in a corner situation, I have found it is best to select your striker and let the defenders run around marking by themselves. When the other team kicks the ball, press and hold 'D', and hope!

I have the exact same problem. I have started to fear corners.

My suggestion is to put very tall guys like Duncan Ferguson or Nial Quinn in front of the goal for corners. Then quickly switch to the defender closest to the header (hopefully the big men) and head it away.
