So how is this any different from previous maddens?

Total Control passing (with the left stick) is field relative. You are throwing to a spot on the field to lead the receiver there. The new mechanics are body relative, you are throwing AT the receiver but targeting above his head or below his waist. You can also combine the two mechanics, so for example a slant that you lead out in front (left stick) but also throw low (LT) to prevent a defender in man trail from making a play on it. Another example is using bullet pass + lead down + low throw on curls and hitches to prevent defenders from jumping it.

Are true back shoulder throws in the game now? How are they performed?

Will CPU AI utilize all of these throws and mechanics as well?

This is huge, because a CPU QB that "understands" that making throws that limit the chance of an interception(without just checking down all the time), is vitally necessary for a quality User vs CPU gaming experience. Hopefully they will also occasionally throw the ball away in the vicinity of an eligible receiver to avoid getting sacked.

Throw the ball up for your taller receivers....Ty Hilton is 5'9" and it looked like the CB was taller than him.

We REALLY need some confirmation on this. Because if it is not in the game, human vs cpu games are going to be worthless and brutal. You may as well take the mode out if the cpu cannot do these same things,

If a receiver is running a route, and we throw it to the inside or outside without the receiver looking back at the ball will the receiver automatically warp towards the ball or will the receiver not adjust to the ball because he does not see it coming, causing the ball to go flying to a part of the field the receiver is not in.
