Yea, I found the most reliable way to score is to do a through ball from wide midfield to the striker on the wing, then run down the side and pass to the other striker waiting in the middle, then aim for the far post and shoot.
Any other method is still very difficult and hard to replicate.
The problem I think is not as much in shooting, but rather the speed of ball control.
Controlling the ball is VERY slow. From the time your player first touches the ball (from a pass or a loose ball) it takes way too long to do anything at all.
Someone mentioned you could do one-touch passing? Well, you cant.
Doesnt matter how many times I try tapping the pass key, the player recieving the ball always takes too long before passing it on.
Not only that.
When you do a normal pass to a player, that player seems to stop running forward, run backwards to get the ball, stop, run forward again, and THEN u can pass or shoot, etc...
Infact, many times when I pass to a player, because the reciever runs back, the original player actually goes past him, meaning passing actually slows me down. Might as well just run my defender right through the midfield.
The pass should not make the reciever stop or change direction.(Unless you put a power bar on passes too, so a light pass passes behind the player so they run back to get it, and a heavy pass passes just in front of them but is not a through ball).
There should be faster ball control, so if you hit a pass/shoot button before the player gets the ball it should do it right away, which it does not now.
Anyway, I think thats why its so hard to score still. With slow passing and ball control its hard to do anything quick in the box, so the keeper will always come out and stop you, or some defender will takle you.
