I find it rather easy to defend corners, this is how I do it:
*Press R3 and move keeper to edge of 6-yard box.
*Move a defender to mark the player that is the potential short-option.
That way the corner taker will either play it in the box and my keeper can get the ball/defender can clear the ball or he'll play it short and I'll often intercept the pass.
One thing that I'm trying to stop taking advantage of is marking players when opponent has a freekick; it's too easy to intercept short passes and make a quick counter to go 1-on-1 with the keeper.
