Re: Hot Reads Continue to No't Work

So in an effort to display just how broken hot reads are I set up a gameplan this spin to force a ton of them:

https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1502#280066

This results in a TD but in the dumbest way possible. He literally has two completely uncovered players dead ahead of him... and instead throws to the blocking RB who only happens to be open because the pocket broke down due to the sideways scrambling.

https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1502#280086

Same play, same two wide open uncovered players... and despite the hot read he ends up throwing it away.

https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1502#280091

The result is again a TD but again in the dumbest way possible. He has an uncovered WR open in front of him, but instead hot reads to the blocking RB at the back of the pocket.

https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1502#280107

Same two players that are always uncovered are still shocking uncovered... and he laterals instead to the blocking RB.

Hot reads again to a blocker who only gains positive yards because he got so badly beaten. Note to self: use terrible blockers in the future.

https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1502#280144

Hot reads for a loss to the blocking RB.

...more to the blocking RB...

https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1502#280193
https://private75.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/1502#280204

...and the crowning achievements, hot reads for -7 and -6 yards, respectively.

The hot read has effectively struck out two defensive plays that I've seen, but is otherwise hot trash. I chose this set of plays specifically because the two plays on offense I was calling versus the single play the defense was calling natively have 4 WRs versus 3 DBs in coverage. By default there is always one uncovered player. The hot read however hijacks the play so the QB can never target the uncovered players, instead defaulting to a blocker every single time. This happens for a lot of so-called 'hot reads', and on the hot reads where the defense DOES have enough in coverage it usually fires it straight into tight coverage. Simply put, they don't work, they don't improve the game, they don't counter blitzing AT ALL, and they need to go back to the beta leagues.

My QB with 100 everything except intelligence , arm strength , release , and scramble misses at least 10 to 20 wide open recievers a game . Instead he chooses to throw to double and triple coverage . Despite 100 FOV. He's lucky to get on hot read a game. Passing reads are bad in general . I don't see how hot reads can work anyhow cause wrs don't adjust their route in unison . It's are simple presnap read and adjustment.

I'm still not a fan of the new code or anything that came with it.....

That's the in depth analysis I am used to from you. I was getting excited for a day now. Anything else to add?

It wouldn't be the same if you just pm'ed this garbage . ....would it ? Bashing someone in private just doesn't feel the same.

Please get this fixed, it's miserable to watch.

Either just turn the hot read function off, or amend it to one of the existing, uncovered routes. Stop having the QB target the blocking HB. Just throw it to any of the uncovered WRs.

Here's another lovely example.

The last play of the game.

https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/81#14615

I felt bad for my opponent here. To march down the field for one last chance at the tying score from the 2 only to have this BS happen...
