Quick answer. On PC, left click shoots and right click passes. To curve a shot, hold the middle mouse button and drag left or right as you shoot. On controller, hold LT and RT and steer with the right stick.

How to curve a shot
On PC: Hold the middle mouse button while you shoot. Drag the mouse left to bend the ball left, or right to bend it right.
On controller: Hold LT and RT at the same time. Then push the right stick the way you want the ball to bend.
If the middle button is hard to press, give the curve a new key in Settings. A good trick is to press Q to flick the ball up first, then curve it.
Keepers know this trick too. About 38% of players who have made a save have also stopped a curved shot.
How to do a bicycle kick
- Kick the ball against a wall near the other team’s goal.
- As it bounces back, jump back toward it.
- Shoot while you are in the air.
It takes practice. About 2 in every 7 players who have scored a goal have scored one with a bicycle kick.
