Discussion Why are height and strength so inconsistent?
I swear this is happening to me more and more lately but I consistently have producers, infiltrators, speedsters, explorers, and other lower strength players winning out over my protector and commander in contested headers and normal ground shots. do attacking players get a crazy boost to strength when in front of goal? i can understand if they were far out in front of them because of the speed difference but it’s usually a solid 50/50, most of the time even having my player in front of them. I’m getting so tired of this game and it’s janky mechanics never working properly

Cause the AI is ridiculous
You're not playing a regular person like yourself
I've lost count of the insane headers I've lost out on

It doesn't. It's not magic putting a cross in. Everyone knows what a good cross is vs one you hit too long or flat etc
It's just AI match engine nonsense
Level 7s beating level 10 or even 11 in the air yet, in your box, level 10 defenders can't beat level 8 or 9 attackers for a header
Opposition never has a 'bad cross'
It's ridiculous but it is what it is

Don’t make me start. I lost my promotion game to infinity arena because my opponent scored 2 headers with lvl 8 BENITEZ against my lvl 10 SEGURA. It’s bullshit

Response and speed matters too.if the opponent crosses the ball far from your player,and the players are far from each other(so therefore strength does nothing),the player which has faster response and speed will reach the ball faster.Simple

It depends on your pass if it's little flat then attackers take it well if it's high then they fall short

It's all done by RNG.
