Hotmail/Outlook (any Microsoft email services) folks. Microsoft is currently blocking our emails. We have raised a support ticket with them and will update when we can.
In the meantime it's possible that adding robot@evoweb.uk to your address book/contacts will help and if you're able to switch to a different email provider, that would work fine.
We have also increased the number of bounce emails we can handle before accounts are marked as requiring verification again to hopefully mitigate the issue a bit as well.

Try and position a tall defender in a potentially dangerous area, then mash the shot/clearance button - if the defender starts moving the wrong way, super cancel towards the ball whilst trying to clear it.
Sometimes there's nothing you can do though.

Hmm corners aren't usually a problem for me. Not sure what the difference would be, how often do you concede from corners?
Normally I will get the biggest defender and place them 6-7 yards out, in line with the near post(ish). Then when the corner comes in I will run out a few yards to meet the ball and (hopefully) clear it. I usually use X though, rather than square, but that might be just me and I'm not sure if it matters in those heading situations. Usually the ball goes into that middle area, either there or deep. I don't think I've ever seen the AI go to the first man for a corner so I wouldn't worry much about that one.

yeah, I don't concede in corners that often either.. perhaps once every 25-30 CKs.
I DO score a lot from CKs tho, i'd say, once every 5-7 CKs..
I've been deadly on CKs since WE4, I have no clue why LOL
probably it's because of adding curve to the cross, and choosing a kicker opposite than real life (left footed for right corner, and viceversa)

Hold R2 when you take it, it adds height and takes some of the pace off. This works for long passes in open play as well as corners/fks.
I always try and curl it away from goal as well, because if you do an inswinger you tend to get more of those pathetic diving header attempts that miss the ball...

Cool, glad you are a corner kick defensive master now 
When I'm taking corners I like to mix it up, if I see space in the box I'll cross it in, if not I play it short, pass it back to the CK taker and then cross it in. There's also the short options... I have the play it short, pass it back to CK taker and then lay it on (triangle) for the DL or DR to take a 25 yard smash at it (actually works quite well, scored some screamers that way). You can also, if you have a skillful guy taking the corners or receiving the short pass, take the defenders on and thread a through ball right across the 6 yard box, usually causes mayhem.
So many choices

Am hoping the ability to select a player at set pieces will result in some cracking goals. There is already a good variety in the type of free kick/corner you can put into the box, being able to more accurately aim for a player is a great tool.
