haha.. it's normal, headers are OP in a way.
Anyway, here's something that may up your game:
try using custom tactics:
Build Up Play:
Speed - 90 Passing - 68 Free Form
Chance Creation:
Passing - 67 Crossing - 82 Shooting - 80 Free Form
Defence (the primary difference):
Pressure - 86 Your mids and defenders will close up the wide open space that my opponents always seemed to have dribbling in the midfield. Also, when your opponent tries to clear the ball, your midfielders are much more alert and will try to intercept passes.
Aggression - 90 Your players will actually get after the ball, especially when using R1/RB to call a 2nd defender. Of course, you must use it wisely, but it is exponentially more effective this way.
TEAM WIDTH - 33 THIS is what has made the most difference in my opinion. When your opponent makes runs toward the middle of the field on the attack, your far side fullback pinches in closer to the middle where he should be to make the play.
