Headers function normally, but I think the balance attribute is affecting players heading accuracy and direction way too much in the box currently. Even with open headers, they seem to lack consistency especially with direction. I’ve been playing FIFA for several years now and have never had this much of a problem in aiming my headers towards…[Read more]

It’s nearly impossible to score headers as I was trying to complete the dzecko objective I played about 20 games trying to score with a header

Exactly my thoughts

i know timed shooting is still a mechanic in FIFA 20… but the risk vs reward is almost non existent

I feel the same, headers need to be re worked for sure.

I completely agree with your goal coming from your arm, hand balls is a foul setting you can use in kick off and other modes but it’s not in ultimate team. I’ve always wondered why EA never made handballs a foul in FUT ever since I started playing way back on FIFA 13, and to see the setting used in other modes is even more confusing.

EA didn’t improve keepers rushing to save rebounds, they made it so keepers try to parry further away from the net, but I agree with you on the keepers catching the ball, it barely happens for me.

They did fix parrying, the keeper now parries much further, but in terms of direction I have no idea if they tweaked it at all. Your opponents getting rebounds is probably due to their formation, or custom tactics in game.

The tackles going right back is because you have to angle your tackles so that the ball comes out of your opponents possession, also be aware of what direction you are tackling the ball in as you can tackle it towards a different attacker of the opponents.

I’m experiencing the same thing, the headers are inconsistent and seem to have no control over their direction. I’ve never had this problem in FIFA before this one.

I agree, with the update it seems keeper sweeping is very efficient. When rushing the keeper at the attacker, they now go for the legs and come out with the ball almost every time, this was a big issue for me in the beginning of thew game, glad to see EA improving it!

I agree completely, I started using a 442 and got several rebound goals myself, it’s probably due to 2 strikers being available in the box making a rebounds success very likely. If EA could develop a way for the keepers A.I. to seek a teammate that is open or far out during a parry, I think this could solve a majority of the rebound occurrences.

I agree, I think the balance attribute is being far to affected by a defender touching an attacker and throwing off their heading accuracy. I’ve had several chances to score headers so far, but most get launched upwards way over the cross bar, even with players like Benzema and Ibra.
