I've been messing around with freekicks in practice, heres what I found out.
Now you people probably want some massive curve on the ball and still maintain some speed AND dip and are wondering, how do I do that?

I've found out that if you press the direction BEFORE you press shoot you will add more curve/dip.
So here's what I do with freekicks. I aim a bit more to the left or right then I usually do. After that I start pressing left/right and down at the same time. You will probably think, doesn't that alter the direction?
That's why, after you started pressing left/right and down, you press the shoot button to around half of the powerbar. During the action of pressing the shoot button you keep on holding the left/right and down keys. You can even add the triangle or cross button to add more power/dip.
This should be done like a milisecond after you pressed left/right and down!
This will give the ball extreme curve and extreme dip but still maintain it's speed.
Triangle adds more power
Cross adds more dip
Right adds curve to right
Left adds curve to the left
Down adds even more dip
Up adds even more power
Here's a video of a "Left + down + cross" combination:

(sorry for the crap quality!)
Anyway. Hope this will help some people.
