Are SI going to get headers right?

We've heard all the arguments etc

Too many over, not enough wide, or at least testing the gk

I get quite a lot of headers flashing past the post tbh, seldom over. The ones that annoy me are the tame ones into the keepers hands which I think are more to do with a lack of goalkeeper animations.

I'm more annoyed at the one that are too weak and the ball just falls to the goalies feet.

IMO thats realistic enough not many headers go on target IRL.

It seems defenders win virtually all headers to prevent double figure scorelines, this means nearly all headers from an attacker go over unless hes totally free and you get endless games of head tennis.

Not sure how they could fix it though without getting 9-7 scores every week.

Jumping is being reviewed for FM11, so let's hope they improve aerial play in FM11.

I score quite a few headers these days. Set my big lump as a target man on the right hand side of the front two, wingers to cross 'mixed' cross aim, near post of the right winger, far post for the right winger. Bingo.

I think I've only scored 2 headed goals since patch 10.3.

Agree fully with this. I have complete faith that SI model the game correctly so realistic headed goal volumes are scored... but those not scored just feel tame.

I hope they do fix it for FM11, it was quite bad on FM10, especially in patch 10.3. It was much worse if you only played with one striker, but still, you could have the two best wingers on the game crossing for the best header of the ball and you still wouldn't score a realistic number of headed goals. It's not only headers though, volleys are just as rare, how many times have you scored the goal that Fletcher got v Everton last weekend? I wouldn't bet on many.

Headers were only really messed up on the 10.3 patch. All the others were fine, so it clearly is possible to have good headers without obscene scores.
