Anyone else seeing a lot of kick off goals? My lad texted me to say he's seen it loads and just now, I have seen 3 goals in 3 minutes, all from kick offs. Always thought it happened a lot in older games so wondered if anyone else was seeing it.

Is there an issue with crossing in the game or is it down to my players stats?

I have my left and right backs really attacking where they are almost playing as wingers most of the time. Positionally it is spot on and have no issues getting the ball to them out wide. Where it falls down is that they ofter just stop and wait for the opposition to close them down and then its either a blocked cross or a tackle.

What I expect to see sometimes is my full back to whip in a cross to an oncoming forward but it never seems to happen. I thought Hit Early Crosses may achieve that but not seen it thus far.

It could also be my players stats. 9-11 for crossing.

Sometimes they do cross and have scored a couple of goals but I think my main issue is that I don't see a cross when I would expect to see one.

I guess I liken my full back play to Liverpool and Robertson and Arnold but obviously they are not as good but I would expect them to try and cross in certain situations.

Also, I have it set to low crosses but constantly the cross are way too high

[Will anyone be buying FM21?]

I don't think I will rush out to buy it. Partly because I don't get the time I used to for playing it but because I read so much on here about the match engine as well as seeing things myself that I think I'll wait a bit and see how it goes. For me, the match engine caused more debate than any other topic so I think the focus should be on that first and foremost to ensure that going forward, we have a solid engine that plays well as I don't think another year of how it has been will help at all. 

It's not an easy task at all and nobody thinks it really is.
