Out jumping keepers?

[DVS251]

Is it possible within the constraints of the game to win a header over a keeper on, say a corner? I’ve never seen it happen, even with guys like CR7, Ramos, Crespo. The keeper always leaps up and either punches it away or casually comes down with the ball regardless of who’s around.

I've never seen it either. If you see a keeper make a movement towards the ball they're either catching it or punching it. I would like to see them miss the ball every once in while.

I think I've seen it a couple times or maybe I just saw a player win the ball a split second before the keeper could get to it.

In FIFA 19 they will have Karius miss them.

I second this. The keeper always makes perfect decisions when going for the ball on corners or crosses, which is pretty unrealistic. There is no distinction between good and bad keepers, either, every single keeper is perfect when it comes to this.

This has long been one of my "complaints". If the keeper makes a move for the ball, he's going to get it 100% of the time.

Keepers are definitely too perfect in these situations, but I will say I finally experienced them make a mistake the other day. The keeper whiffed on a punch and let my striker, who was standing behind him at the time, tap it in for an easy goal.

I don't think I have ever seen a GK ever get out jumped by a player, and yeah GK's shouldn't be perfect in this section of the game because keepers make mistakes all the time in crossing situations.

Slightly off topic but does anyone else feel like GK's are really good at making spectacular saves, but too often miss very basic saves?

I have seen it a couple of times. Keeper came out early to knock the ball away. Player came from a deep part in the box towards the ball and headed the ball into the net before the keeper could knock it away. It's definitely no rarity.
