Can't get control

[tinpanalley]

Can someone please help me. Cause I'm gonna lose my mind.

How do I get control of the ball or redirect the ball on a goal kick? Why does the CPU always get there before me? Clearly I'm doing something wrong. It's obviously not the game's problem. Corners or goal kicks, my guys are just never there.

Thanks everyone.

I have the same problem in FIFA09 (PS3).

Goal kicks and mostly corners. How can I get my player in front for the header?

It's just a matter of gauging it right while holding the L2 (PS3) button.

You really have to ride the L2 button in this game as it allows you to control the spacing better, as well as jockey with opposing players...

So yes, you have to ride the jockey button.

you have to use the "jockey" button (I think it is LT by default but you'll have to check) in order to jockey for position on aerial balls.
