(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am ****ing terrible at finishing. I will play games and keep 55%+ possession, but then lose as a result of a crosswhore scoring a header or a simple pass across the box on me. I really don't have that big of a problem defending: I just get frustrated after I miss seven or eight chances one-on-one with the goalkeeper. I hit the upper-ninety cross bar TWICE today, one on the first shot, and then one on the follow-up.

What do I do?

I use to have the same problem, here are some tips that can be of use

1. use the finese shot, this make your shot more accurate and you can also curve it. if you want to hit low and in the corner tap the shoot button lightly while holding the finese button. to curve it hold the button and shoot but at a angle NE or NW

2. to run around the keeper, before you reach the keeper, flight the right analogue stick forward it push the ball infront so simple shoot into a empty net.

btw your title sounds so wrong LOOOOL

R1+O for curved shots, dont over-power it.
L1+O Lob shot, depends on dinstance how hard it should go, practice it.

If you come alone with the keeper, try to stall and wait for one of your players to come to your left/right... wait for goalie to come out, pass left/right, score in empty goal.

if your playing with good strikers or forwards every one on one you get to score 80% of the time just finese shot press R1 not too much power and it should curve around the keeper no problem practice in the arena first then apply it to matches

Do a barrel roll!
Finesse or dribble around keeper. Don't just simply push the shoot button and let the computer do the rest. Choose where you want the ball to go.

if your central to the goal and have time to wind up a shot then blast it. if your at an angle then finesse finish is the way forward. obviously it all depends how good your strikers are aswell and you have to direct it!
