...this time u have to take into consideration alot more like
Player foot
Current direction
momentum
Player
Keeper
Once you master the game you'll learn how to score goals
Best advice here, these all help.
The player has to be 'balanced' to get a good shot away. That means getting stikers in space, with time to line up the shot, or tempt the keeper out.
Try to hit the shots in the natural stride of the attacker's run, or first-time when running onto the ball. It makes a huge difference to the power.
I think some buttons affect shots if tapped or held just as the player strikes the shot. :R2: is one that's often mentioned. A few find :triangle: or :circle: give a bit of dip or more of a toe-poke (great ifyou hit it sweet, lame if you don't)
There are so many factors, everyone finds it slightly different and a bit unpredictable (unlike FIFA games), so some ways suit some players better than others.
