so what is the effect of pushing up or pushing down on the left stick?
Basically think of the left stick as where your foot is going to connect with the ball, relative to the centre. But half-pressing the stick in a direction doesn't work - so it's not quite as precise as the old FIFA free kick system.
What I don't like about it is that if you do press any direction below 3 or 9 o'clock, the ball balloons away. FIFA doesn't really 'get' backspin, whether for free kicks or for lobs.
