I have the same problem with free kicks and the "driven shot". I tried doing training on the driven shot and hit it correctly about 3 times out of 50 of which all 3 went way away from the goals and as far as free kicks go I've pretty much given up trying lol.

i am crap at free kicks too, but if your just out side the edge of the area and quite central, press select and knock it slightly then blast it, if its on target its normally a goal

Im ok with the shots,ive scored quite a few with them!

As for freekicks i've only scored 1 and all the others have been saved,went over or hit the woodwork

my free kicks are on target but too weak! it drives me insane!! i feel like jumpin in the game and lamping the ball meself!!

ive scored a few free kicks with beckham and totti.if your close to the area push down on the d pad and to the left or right depending on kicking foot and position.try and get the power bar just over half way.if your further out then say 25-35 yards then obviously more power and alter the direction and push up on d pad.obviously if they all went in it wouldn't be realistic would it but 2 out of 10 aint bad is it.if you were beckham you would accept 2 out 10.

if about 20-25m out i hold the r1 button, press square until the power bar is just short of half way and press up on the d-pad, usually goes on target and with beckham have socred numerous free kicks.

i sometimes tap circle so it just floats in and hope someone gets on the end of it, not done to bad at this technique.

Always aim slightly away from the goal mouth for long distance kicks holding UP and :R1: then press :square: to shoot.
When the bar is charging hold on the direction where u want to ball to curl in.
Hopes it helps

I usually aim for the right or left side(depends on where u re standing) and tap :circle: once lightly inside the semicirle region around 18m
For further ones like around 22 or 23 m i aim for the sides and press the back arrow the fill the press :square: till around 1/2 or slightly more... scored quite a few with these
I usually press on :R1: thou i dont know wat it is used for
