Ok like many of you im having problems...first off how on earth do you do a proper cross? for instance, i run down the wing, go to cross the ball, but all that happens is i kick the ball straight on, the only way to do it is to run down the side line, get to the end, literally turn your player to face the goal then do a lob!! which is utter crap and hardly realistic, so basically am i doing something wrong? how do you do a proper cross of the ball, like in fifa 2000 and iss where you un down the wing press the cross key and it crosses the ball into the middle of the 6 yard box!! Oh and my second question is this, i have 2 joysticks, one is a microsoft force feedback 2 (sidewinder) and the other is a logitech wingman interceptor, one is USB the other is seriel, and with each one i cant change the defautl controls!!! yes it says there changed but in game they arnt, is there a cure to this MAJOR bug?

The cross thingy is one of the thing EA change to avoid ppl from scoring easily from crosses but if you play and train alot it would be easy to cross and score.

About the joystick thingy hehe i not sure at all my wingman gamepad works fine. :p

All you do is press the dircection that you want the cross to go in and press the lob button. SIMPLE

might3 i can assure you are wrong, yea fine lobbing the ball from most places on the pitch is a simple job, but you try running down the WING ( YOU KNOW THE SIDE OF THE PITCH) get to near the end and try and cross the ball into the 6 yard box WITHOUT turning your body to point in that direction, i.e like how it was with all the other fifa's and iss, you can cross the ball into that area whilest still running forward, you know a CROSS, not a MEAR LONG/HIGH PASS, there completely different things!

HEY MAN....i got a few..actually lotsa replays where i cross without turning to face the direction...crossing on the run i mean...

at first it was infuriating not being able to cross properly..but after practice..i can cross as good as Beckham(mebbe better..) i can curl the ball when i cross...i can cross deep or just to the centre...if u wanna see the replays...just mail me <ewandrea@merseymail.com>

Keep practising!

yep, practice makes perfect:)

If u set the crossing option to 'normal' it does allow more freedom although once u'v mastered crossing scoring from that cross is a different thread completely if u know what I mean:confused: :D

Kinetic I can assure you it really is that simple!!!
Try tuning the options to do with crossing and you'll see how easy it is. Don't tell me it's impossible otherwise how would everyone else be able to do it?

Can anyone curl thier crosses with assisted passing model on? I can only curl it woth normal passing model on.
