Cassano99 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Opposition has a corner, plays it short to the near post, guy smashes it in... why does my markers not actually pick him up? It's ridiculous. Defender: Oh look, there's an attacker standing free... Hi attacker! Hiya!!! Attacker: GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. How on earth do you stop it from happening? You can't put a man on them because they never pick them up. What are you supposed to do!?!?! Sort it out SI!!! Yeah, it's my tactics, I know... how about it's just a stupid bug in the game?

Falahk Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 becouse the defult corner defense is awefully bad? anyway, put gk on defult, put one player to guard each post (normaly i use the fullbacks), put 2 dc's on mark tall player....and put the rest of the team on man mark (yeah thats right, no players left forward) by far the best corner defense set up I have used Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoroHoro Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 you can have 2 to stay forward, 1 mark near post, 1 mark far post, 2 CD mark tall player, rest man mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falahk Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 you can have 2 to stay forward, 1 mark near post, 1 mark far post, 2 CD mark tall player, rest man mark. it works better to just clog the box with all your players, might not offer so many conter attacking options and may result in new corners or throw ins for the oposing team, but trust me, in terms of defending it work so much better that its just silly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I usually leave a winger up-field (all my wingers are very fast little buggers). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As rants go this isn't even a half decent one. How about its not a bug and its your tactics/players. Toys back in pram now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dking Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 First time I ever heard of a bug when defending corners. Well done for finding it. Seriously though, it's your tactics and nothing to do with SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 i hardly ever conceed from corners. what does annoy me though is the amount of short corners my team takes that always get aimed at the centre back standing at the near post. ive got corners set up as random.

edgar555 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Is this not the famous 'corner bug', just with the roles reversed? No, he just needs to sort his marking out. Instead of having players on 'go back' they all need to be set to 'man mark' otherwise players will be left free, as the OP is suffering from.There you go, solved.

Wayne\'o Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 you can stop that ya know it's easy, if i place players at the near post like that then usualy they dont get picked up either.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
finite Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Thanks, i found this near post thing was happening too, looks like the default settings are no good, or at least exploited by AI. Man marking fixes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastema Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Not related to this specific corner issue, but since we're blowing off steam here, my pet-peeve regarding corners is that nearly 3/4 of my crosses manage to hit the opposing fullback smack in the face and pop behind the line. Seriously, I sometimes wonder if my opposition doesn't leave the field all concussed or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoRobbo Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Thanks, i found this near post thing was happening too, looks like the default settings are no good, or at least exploited by AI. Man marking fixes it. If the game did eerything for you it would be too easy. The default settings are just a general guideline and not perfect obviously.
