Yup^^
Make sure your on that players strongest foot, don't put too much power and make sure the angle is good. ie don't shoot with your back towards goal. Using the sprint button in conjunction with the shoot button will give you more power and drive your shots.
You can also use the controlled shot. For this hold down the R2 whilst shooting. This slows the player down and gives him more time to place his shot. BTW, this works best inside the penalty area.
