It's quite tricky finding info specific to the Xbox version - you start top read a guide and all of a sudden it goes on about bloody triangle buttons. Poo. Anyway, here you go...
PS exchange R2/L2 for white and black where appropriate (i'm sure u knew that).
Free-Kick Guide
Basic Controls
D-pad Down/Up Controls Height/Power
D-pad Left/Right Controls direction
R1 Adds speed
R2 Adds dip & loop
X Adds dip (after you’ve pressed square)
NB: - It helps to guide over the smallest player in the wall
Tap the shoot button 3 times and keep the shoot bar at the following levels. You do not have to tap the shoot button but I find that you get more control than if you merely press and hold the shoot button to the desired level
18 – 25 80% of half-bar
25 – 30 95-100% of half-bar
30 + 5% over half-bar
Once the ball has gone over the wall in all scenarios, press down on the D-pad and the X button to increase dip on your shot. Down right/left on the D Pad will also add a little more curl but this is largely dependent on the curling statistics of your free-kick taker
Result: Goal or something close!
18 - 20 yards ( General )
Press down on the D pad & R2
Tap shoot 3 times up to 70 - 80% of half-bar, depending on the power of your players shot
As soon as the ball is rising above the wall, press down on the D pad and X immediately - down left/right on the D pad to add curl
20 - 25 yards
Tap shoot 3 times up to 95-100% of half-bar
As soon as the ball is rising above the wall, press down on the D pad and X immediately - down left/right on the D pad to add curl
Do not press up on the D pad, R1 or R2

Press up on the D pad

30 yards +
Press up on the D pad
Press R1
Tap shoot 3 times up to 5-10% over half-bar ( 55 - 60 % of full bar )
Press X after shoot to dip the ball but I don't usually press down, again, depends on distance

Crosses

The Rabona Specific player required. If your using a left footed player start by running down the right side of the goal (goalie's left) and right footers run down the left side (goalie's right). When you are about 6 yards out from goal aim for the opposite corner and press shoot
Stepovers Rapidly tap L1 and R2 whilst stationary or running. Quicker stepovers are achieved if stationary.

__________________
I would recommend holding the right shoulder pad and shoot for a really hard, fast shot.
I assume you lot are talking about a Drive shot, this is the R2 shot in ps2 version (where the player literally blasts it so hard he jumps of the ground). I tried lots of different ways of doing it and couldn't get it to work (i didnt consider using that horrible little black button)
but.... i found out if you 'click' the left control stick with the xbox pad at the same time that you would normally press R2 on the ps2 pad it works perfectly.
what you will find though is that the pressure exerted on the left control stick to achieve a 'click' will often make you wildly inaccurate, it does take some getting used to but i was bloody relieved that it worked!!
Left trigger + shoot is a high scoop/chip.
Shoot and then right trigger (after the bar has started moving up) is a lower dink-style chip which is far better IMO. With the left trigger chips you have to literally tap the shoot button for no time at all, whereas with the right trigger chip you can use most of the power bar and it still won't be a really high chip
Oh, and right trigger can also be used for a couple of other things, such as doing a dummy
Change the options to lob2 double tap to ok,and while your at it change your long passes to type 2
