Try using through balls more and work on shooting from distance.

You must be apallingly crap if you can't even cross, when crossing is automatic.
HINT: Press O when you want to cross.
I can't see why you're having so many problems just getting the ball in the box? It's the stuff on the end of the cross that's tough.
Alternatively, try walking down the wing to draw the wing back in. Then when he's close, sprint with R1. Tap or double tap O.
hoho... yeah I seen the cap. It would be ok if it were on somebody 30 years older.
I just realised today how steroetypical the intro movie to the game is. If you watch, it shows some England fans wearing old flat caps, and a Scottish footballER with his hands on his head looking on in dispair...
Edit - Just for SHEEPY...it was 3 in the morning...
Can only score by running, then turning sharply and blasting it at a right angle. Looks pretty sh*te though. My crosses get cut out, my corners get cut out, my freekicks are passes...
ARGH!
Why can't I cross?
I would just give the advice that half way or just below is good for most freekicks, most distances.

Same here. My heading is awful. I've resorted to crossing it hard, deep and long and then doing a passing header to turn the defence and just shoot. My friend, who doesn't even own the game beat me to the first one.
However, I've scored 3 freekicks and hit the post slash bar about 20 times otherwise.
Still shooting to the keeper / over / wide.
'Tis annoying.
But scored a brilliant free kick earlier.
And no, the PC version will be superior. By far.
