Well I count 12 ways to score with a normal shot (give or take).
I see them used all the time except maybe the very slow curve, most keepers aren't caught out by that.
Ways to score

yes but how many of them are screwed by pbox camping? (unless i am mistaken all of them that don't involve being boosted)
and honestly can you call shooting from a different angle a different form of scoring? What about shooting around the keeper? sounds like what you should be doing the whole time (in reference to the shooting bellow or above the keeper). so that leaves curving the ball @ varries powers (if you wanted to counts all the powers you did you probably could have hundreds but what good do they do?), and shooting directly and shoot off the shake

No, I don't see anyone claiming it was. 0o
Everything is just a variation on a theme, you either shoot, volley or if you're lucky walk it in. There are no other ways to score (I'm counting bounce as a volley by the way ^^).

One particular volley technique that lately has been growing in my favour, is the off-the-wall rebound volley. I shoot the ball against one of the side walls, and then volley at such an angle that it rebounds off it, into the goals. It only really works if you are close to them, but it works quite well if the keeper is not expecting it.

fades vollies: same as a pass volley but you do it when jumping backwards away from the net, and you hit the ball when its beside you cause the volley radius hax.
side-winders: Beside, above or directly below the ball, simple volley redirction.
Acid/bomb/hot drop: boost up, catch ball, bomb into the net for a TD or very close range shot.
Cheap shit: boost up, volley down.
Kickers: volleying grounded balls dumped by team mates or from a freshly gibbed player.
pass shots: shooting with pass from close range
real shots: ya, they still exist... left click for about 1.2 seconds and shoot
outside corner hooks: Shoot wide and hook the ball against the mesh or the opposite post
Inside Corner hooks: really weak shot with a banana right against the inside top corner
hax0r shots: shots that go right the fuck through the keeper
tingers: post and in
dual-tingers: 2 posts and in, easiest to do against top corners
banana shots: curve shot in the general direction of the net that go in. usually only works against crappy keepers but can catch some off-guard.
1/2 courts: shots from 1/2 court
Touchdown: walk the ball in, not rocket science... no 6 points though.
Grounder: shooting under a jumping keeper, usually on side shots
side wall volley: bounce off the side wall with a curve and volley it in (the keeper usually goes for the grab on the volley setup and misses)
Point-blank bounce: Setup a wall volley WAY too close to the side of the net and just bounce it in over the keepers head.
BananaRama: Combonation of a banana shot and a sidewinder. VERY hard to setup and almost always luck but works 90% if at close enough range. Easier setup is to sit at the 1/2 line and aim at the opposite corner and let a full power banan shot go... it should line up pretty well with the enemy net, then it just takes a side-winder.
Boost Volley #1: Chuck the ball at the back wall form 1/2 court, boost a player towards the ball and volley it in. Its the new boost trick but since it actually takes skill you dont see it done much.
Boost Volley #2: just like the pass/cross volley except off a boost... a bit harder to pull off but once you get the timing down its pie.
