I can't seem to score. That is my fourth 0-0 game, it can get very boring.

I'm the same. I never play against real people, so I can beat the most difficult CPU setting 6-0, but in the real Pro Evo tournament held at my university, I lost three out of six games.
Hurrah
Even simple differences can lose you goals, like at the kick-off, the computer always passes back, while most of my friends, go on mazy dribbles. It's just a reflect action to press R1 and left at kickoff, so I tend to be on the back foot when defending.
Also, my friends are actually good at free kicks, which requires having people on the post, but some marking the few strikers just hovering in front of the GK.
Ah, I love this game
I'm pretty much unbeatable on 6-star now.
Which means things are rubbish unless playing against mates, who although get humped off the 6-star computer, can give me a really good game.
Passing around the halfway line and then trying a through ball always seems to work for me. And when you're one on one with the keeper gently tap shoot and L1 as the keeper comes towards you. The keeper will be left looking at the ball nestling in the back of the net.
Also try an attacking formation like 3-4-3, which ensures your strikers will get plenty of the ball and some time to practice shots.
hope it helped.
I agree with Badgerman, though - there are some games where it seems the game has decided that you will lose, even before a ball has been kicked. Ball control disappears, teams that you have already beaten 4-0 seem to have an impenetrable defence, and shooting accuracy is more like a scatter-gun than a sniper rifle.
Still, I did have to laugh when the Champions League Final (WEFA Championships) was between Northampton (us) and Bolton!
Some games everything will go brilliantly, every ball will go in the right direction and shots will always be on target. Then others I find nothing works, not even basic passing half the time.
I hate them games. It doesn't seem to matter whether all of your players are on red arrows or not, you play God awful.
