Got it on my first try.
Settings:
Madrid (Ronaldo) vs India
User Sliders : Shot error = 0
CPU Sliders : Acceleration = 0 , Goalkeeper capability = 0
Run straight at the goal and hold RT+LT and power up to the beginning of the 3rd bar from 30 yards
This video really helped

I don't know if this makes much difference but worth trying.
I had been trying for 2 hours doing everything in this guide and the other ones with no luck. Then i saw a YouTube video for the ps4 version where it advised to turn matchday off before starting (team select screen press Y). Have no idea what it does but literally got it on 1st goal with Ronaldo and RT and B from 25-30 yards out.

LT+RT is the key. Easy peasy. This way the ball doesn't spin.

I have spent 4 to 5 hours over the past 2 days trying to complete this achievement and finally did it. from the center circle I sprinted towards the goaltender holding RT. I got to where all the guides are saying to shoot from, let go of the RT let go of the LS and held B for 3 bars. I never touched the LB or LT like so many guides have said to. Balotelli from Liverpool who I was playing with kicked it with his right foot and the ball had no spin and started right then curved back left just inside top right corner. I hope this helped.

I tried other methods for a number of games. Inside one half game of trying, this worked. Could be just luck, as the achievement seems to be, but worth trying

and got it. I scored 20 goals in a match and always the same move.
The achievement is based on pure luck. I used Sterling from Liverpool. Take a look at the above video to know your position.

I looked at twiztidclown138 vid and got it in my first game when I first tried to get it. I know "lucky, lucky" as I have seen that some of you its taken hours.
Anywho, I did this in FUT with some random player, so it seems it can be about just anyone to get this chievo. just make sure that when you to the third part of the pitch outside the box that you hit 3 bars with B.
I might have been lucky but I just kept doing it until it gave my meh dem points!!! good luck to all.

I was prepared for some grinding in order to get this achievement and it seems to require a bit of luck, therefore I used my FUT-lineup so I could get some coins at the same time. I used my 82-rated FUT in the easiest single player tournament (Starter Cup). I gave my first team keeper and defenders some rest since I was not going to use them at all while chasing this achievement.
I had 32 shots the first match against Millwall (rated 66) and Balotelli scored a few nice goal of the season from long range but still no achievement. In the second match against Cardiff (rated 67) my striker Remy got the achievement in the second half, his goal looked just like a few of Balotellis from the first match.
I used to get to the outside corner of the penalty area, see the linked clip I used to get the position. Just outside the penalty area, then without touching or 
I simply pressed to get the shootingmeter to bar 3 of 4.

Score a goal with a knuckle shot
I have spent a good couple of hours trying to complete this achievement!
It can be a real pain and persistence is key for this one with a little luck!
I used the LT and B Method and shot from about 30 yards
Few little tips which might seem obvious but help alot.
1, Make a Mini Goal Keeper who is 4ft 11 in "Create a player" and reduce his stats to "0" and add him to the starting line up of the team you are facing while going for the achievement. (remember to press Y to disable match day live squads)
2, Select Real Madrid and use Ronaldo, he is the architect of the knuckle shot!
3, Goto Game Setting and use the CPU game play sliders to your advantage.
4, Make sure when you are striking the ball you are dead in line with the goal and not to the sides, remember your distance aswell as you dont want to get to close! This will help when striking the ball so Ronaldo hits the ball in the centre and not around the edge of the ball which would make it curve.
It is a tricky one.... after you have knocked the ball forward, prior to the shot let go of the left thumb stick, that might be adding spin
I hope this helps :)
Good Luck

I got this achievement just by using the button to trigger a shot after a corner, not in combination with or any other button. You can see the shot which earned me the achievement in the video below.
I adjusted a few of the AI sliders, mainly the ones for the AI goalkeeper and defenses to give my players more room for shots and movements. I also played against a one-star team from Saudi Arabia on beginner difficulty.
I really tried a lot of different angles and stuff before it finally worked (maybe 20-30 minutes), also other methods described here in combination with, although they didn't work. I guess it's just purely luck based, depending on the right angle, shot strength and maybe the right player (the shot was from Bayern München's Bernat).

Hi Guys,
As the name suggests you are trying to pull off a Ronaldo-esqe KnuckleBall Shot.
No spin on the ball, and erratic movement through the air.
I managed to get this in a normal match holding L2 + R2 whilst shooting.
From the wing i ran inside finally shooting about 5 yards outside the box, putting the ball across the keeper and into the far corner of the net, the ball swerves in the air and arcs up then down in the air.
Holding L2 + R2 worked nearly first time for me.
Let me know what you think, hope this helps.

A knuckle shot is where the ball is struck without any spin at all. In a slow motion replay, the ball will stay almost perfectly still as it moves through the air. This means the ball does not turn much to either the left or right (if at all), but it will take more of a dip downwards at the end than usual shots. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most famous player who regularly tries this type of shot, often from free kicks.
To do the shot in game, you will need to shoot while pressing the flair button (
). The power bar will have to be somewhere between half and full power, as you have to really hit it to have a chance to pull this one off. Shoot from well outside the box, and try to get it to dip just under the crossbar. This will pop once you manage to score without the ball spinning in the air.
To increase you odds of success, you can try these two methods:
Method 01: Use a player known for striking the ball with power: Ronaldo, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, etc. Decrease shot power to 25% in User Gameplay Settings in the options menu. This will decrease the overall spin imparted on the ball when you hit it at high power, making it more likely for the ball to remain static in the air.
Or
Method 02: Use a player known for striking the ball with power: Ronaldo, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, etc. Edit them in Edit Player, maxing out all of their stats to 99, EXCEPT for Curve in the skill section. Minimise this to 1. This eliminates any player imparted spin when striking the ball, so any spin will be caused by just the ball and surroundings. Get a clear shot centre on to goal about 30 yards out, and you will have a high chance of producing a Knuckle Ball shot. See video below:

Lastly, while I recommend using
to increase the change of getting this shot to happen, you should know that any reasonably powerful strike could potentially produce a knuckle ball. So you may get this without using at all. But using and a decent ball striker will increase your odds in general play. When grinding this one out, you should take every advantage you can to try to speed things up.Important: do not use
when trying for a knuckle ball. It will add way too much turn and spin to the ball, which is the opposite of what you are looking for.
Spazaz, Man
To score with a knuckle shot just means scoring with a powerful shot. To make scoring with a knuckle ball easier you can hold 
while you shoot with 
. This will shoot the ball with incredible power. Keep in mind though that holding is not required to score with a knuckle shot. This achievement will most likely be unlocked over time, but you can increase your chances by going to game settings and adjusting the sliders so that “Sprint Speed – CPU,” “Acceleration – CPU,” and “Goalkeeper Ability – CPU” are all at zero. This will make it extremely easy to get past the defenders and score on the goalie. This achievement usually takes quite a few attempts to unlock so be patient.

Fast game, computer speed settings to minimum (the first two settings), as soon as the match starts, we run to the opponent’s goal and shoot 30-35 meters into the top nine (the force of the shot is a little more than two bars), and you don’t need to press anything! 5 - 10 attempts and the trophy will come out, I recommend playing with a strong team.

Set the easy settings for goalkeeping, acceleration, and goalkeeper skill to 0 for the opposing team, and set your team to the maximum settings for the dash and accuracy of the shot and score from 30 meters in the field, on the circle button)

Got it like this:
User settings - all at 50, impact speed 25
Computer settings: Dash and run speed - 0, Goalkeeper - 0
Let's take a team with RonaldoRooneyIbrahimovic (they have excellent shooting performance)
We make a blow with this player on 2-3 stripes while holding down
from 20-30 meters (necessarily due to penalty)
The main thing is that the ball does not spin during the flight and is in a relatively static position.
In one match you will be eliminated
