Well here goes....most of my goals come from crosses, and headers because my striking is just God awful...:-/, for instance when i want to beat the keeper to one side i aim with the directional pad to that side(barely touching it..seriously like i just nudge it), and the ball just goes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay wide.......when i do score on strikes its because i put a lot of power into the ball and i just flat out beat the keeper.....i know its a tard question but can anyone help me with this....im not using a great team either so i know that doesnt help, but im perty sure they can at least strike the ball in the GENERAL area that i want it......any help would be great thanks guys.

The exact same thing was happening to me when I first got the game..for the first 3 days. I just practiced a lot, played the Career Mode on different difficulties as I got better and my shots ended up being a lot better. After I got my shots where I wanted them, I focused on different things, such as dribbling, chipping, eluding, etc.

First thing for u to do is get used to the controls and the gameplay. You can do this easily by playing a lot. Scrap the team ur playing with (for now) and start off with a team that has players that can actually strike the ball, i.e. Manchester Utd or Barcelona. Practice with the team in Training Mode and find out where your weaknesses r when u shoot the ball. The main thing is to have a shot that can hit the target. Dont overpower the ball just yet; stick to the basics. When you aim and you shoot, get the bar a little over half-way to have a good shot. Aiming properly is the key and it just comes along as u get used to the game. Try these methods and just stick to practicing for awhile, you will get there. :ewan:
