Share your crossing techniques

I cant for the life of me cross the ball with a consistent outcome. I think its a part of my game that’s lacking, considering I play a Barca style. I know high crossing is not very important in that style, but it would add to my game either way.
Unless my players are free, or I’m doing a R1+square cross into a proper chance. I just cant seem to pull them off.
I see people use the L1+square, but it just doesn’t seem to work that well for me.
So care to share with a fifa comrade. Do you know some top notch button combo that I dont?

But as I said, its random too. Crosses on Semi Assisted often still go to the wrong player.
In Fifa just El tornado cross...
(Disgraceful what the crossing mechanics have become...)
Driven crosses, they’re better than the double square or triple square combo. I dont remember which one is the early or low cross combo there, but driven crosses are better than that at least.
Believe it or not, but I’m a pretty good crosser irl. I’m just too slow to play on the wing
This is exactly what I’m looking for too. A lot of people commented and said crossing is random, but then you meet players who cross like there’s no way to make mistakes while crossing. I’m really looking for those secrets.
So the players who cross without fault have it on manual? Is that a possibilty?
if you're waiting for your striker to get to a dangerous area before sending the cross in that's a very low percentage chance. The CBs will block it well, but if you send it super early they aren't in position yet.
I've scored headers with Ibra when he was a step outside the box, send em early!
I play almost entirely for crosses and don’t find El Tornado to be OP at all. In fact when in D2 most can easily see the mechanic starting and block it.
Key to getting a good cross is to not be sprinting and get your player facing a bit towards goal. Also hit shoot with your target man as soon as you can as it helps him jockey for better position. I generally am going far post so I use lofted cross almost all the time.
In previous years far post crossing was overpowered, small wingers often out jumped bigger defenders. Now, having a big man up front does pay off if you cross quite a bit.
This is a good tip, ty mate.
Thanks to all of you lads too, I’ll try your suggestions to up my crossing game.
Lol. Crossing is all about timing. Too many just spam and hope. You need to watch the player run, the timing has to be right. Spam them in and he’s behind the man, then 8/10 it’s not getting there.
Crossing is this simple. Aim at the guy in space, press cross, shoot button. Magic.
Or if you’ve got CR7 or Ibra at RCAM or LCAM go to the line, cut back, lofted cross to back post L1/R1 + shoot button for downwards header.
Learn to master all the crossing types the game allows. L1 + x (scooped lob) is fantastic for beating the defender marking your forwards run into the box. Ground passes at this point almost always get intercepted by the ai.
Double x or low driven crosses are insane on a counter attack - especially if you have a pacey striker with good attacking position.
First time cross - nedved is the master of this (look for players with the early cross trait).
Players with high curve and high cross stats are the most affective for putting in pinpoint crosses.
Basically, try not to cross into the opposing goal keeper - put it in front of them.
Yes it's not difficult once you know the effective ways to cross and have CR7 on the end of it. Lots of people just "whip" it in and hope. The amount of crosses I score back post most games it aint random when you know where to put the ball, whether you score of it then randomness comes in.
Lofted cross backpost and downwards header is my bread and butter 😂
4 star weak foot min though is a must and high crossing also so you can cross on either foot, that's why Bale or Inaki Williams didn't work for me because of 3 star and only being able to cross on strong foot. Bale was better than Inaki because cutting back is better than not being able to though because like you said alot of the time your ahead of the play and need to cut back.
Another good way to score from crosses is the short cross, from the side of the box to an attacker runnig towards the first post. One bar of power, aim almost towards the keeper, the key is not the aim but the amount of power, and your attacker can do the diving forward animation where he heads it in at the first post.
Those two are my favorite ways to score from crosses.
I can't agree with this...I think that what most of the prior posts point out is that crossing improves with timing and the specific type of cross being performed, which is definitely a skill. That has to be satisfying, doesn't it? I don't score a lot off crosses, so when I do one that fits the situation perfectly, it's extremely rewarding.
Compared to spamming passes and triggering 1-2's (not saying this is your idea of breaking people down, but it is for lots), crossing actually takes a lot more ability.
No. since there isn't much you can do about when defending it. I don't care what spectacular technique you give to your crosses. As long as the player you are crossing the ball is completely marked it doesn't make sense it will be promoted to a goal. 1-2's are BS for the most part as well since there is a lot passing assistance. I consider breaking people down is being unpredictable with your passing plays, skillmoves and dribbles. Crossing is just way too random.
Please for the love of god, DON't turn into ''one of them''
100%
Early crosses only work of the player is free or in space. Don’t spam early crosses for the sake of it.
