Yeah that's how you control it. They added a bunch of new trajectories and ball speeds.

Plus you can also lead throws using the left stick.

So the trajectories and ball speeds are more animation than anything new I can control? I know I can lead receivers and such with the left stick (but I never do). I've just noticed the better my QB the better results I have on passes. I played a full franchise season last year with Sexy Rexy as QB and I can already tell that RG3 is going to be better QB. Now if I can just become a better scrambler! I never even tryed last year with slow Rexy.

Kinda hard to explain but I think it also has to do with the type of throw you make. If you throw a screen, the ball is going to come out a certain way (low and fast) vs if you're throwing deep (higher arc) for example. Basically there are different pre-determined arcs for different types of passes. I'll post a video later that explains it pretty well.
