When you have a direct free kick just on the 16 meter box, it is almost impossible to shoot aover the wall and actually score. 'till now, I've only seen the COM do it against me but now I can return a shot to.
There are 3 ways (for me atleast) to do it:
1. The classic way- shooting to the corner above the keeper with :square: + up + :triangle: (there are other thread that explain it with more details).
2. The tricky way- you aim to shoot under the just as they jump or betwwen their legs. This can be done by filling up the bar with :circle: + down (also, there are other more detailed threads).
Now, I've found another way that works great for me:
3. My way- here you actually aim above and and over the wall. This uses the cross controls. When you have a direct free kick from (16- 17 and with a bad keeper 18 meters) from the center of the goal, this comes in handy. You need to aim the angle just next to the post close to you, and if you want to curl it, aim a bit further than that.
Now, you will need to press :R2: + :circle:. In game this makes you cross the ball high and then dip sharply. OK, you need to press and hold the :R2: button, and fill the gauge bar up to 3/4 of the half, with :circle:. If you want to curl the ball, press the direction of the close post to you.
This will make the ball go over the wall and dip straight to the top corner, leaving the keeper only the slightest chnace to save it.
If you shoot too weak- the keeper will save it, and too strong- it will go over the goal. Because of that, try filling only 3/4 of the half of the gauge bar.
Good luck.
