I wonder on reverse plays that you as the QB get to throw a block, or is the AI controlling the user after handoffs?

Amen.

For me the camera angles in Madden's Superstar Mode killed a very promsing feature. I also like how you don't have to mess with assigning "influence points" after the game.

My only complaint would be how pass happy Arkansas's offense was. In other words it looked to me as if the AI purposely called a pass heavy game to keep the user created and controlled qb at the center of attention. I would rather for my created player fall into the team's scheme, than have the scheme altered just for the sake of letting me control the action more.

For example if Im a freshman qb, I would like to see the AI coach try and protect my QB by leaning on the run game. Then when my QB matures and abilities improve the AI coach can begin "opening up the playbook."

I hope this can be controlled with the coaching sliders.

I think the receiver's number is #28. If so, that isn't a big time receiver.

In one of the interviews, the guy said they specifically tailor the playbook depending on what position your guy is. I thought it was a bit dumb when I heard it. I mean, if you're Arkansas, why would you build your offense around a freshman QB instead of Darren McFadden?

They actually ran quite a bit IMO in those videos. And as you said, ti's quite possible that IGN set it up in some way to pass more. After all the QB is who they are playing as and want to feature in the Masterbit Theater so that would make sense.
