Summarize your bug When calling a match coverage defense which plays Stubbie rules against an unbalanced offensive formation, the play-side safety incorrectly recognizes a Wheel route by the #3 receiver as a vertical route even though the play-side Quarter Flat defender has rules to man up #3 receiver to the flat. This leaves the defense wildly (and incorrectly) vulnerable to offensive pass plays with switch releases by #2 and #3 (such as a post-wheel route combination).
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open any game mode. Call any offensive pass play with a 3x1 receiver distribution with the running back to the weak side (ex. Gun Y-Trio Offset). Call any match coverage which plays Stubbie rules to the play side and which has the backside safety in any assignment other than deep inside quarter (Cover 6, Cover 6 Invert, Cover 6 Willie). At pre snap, hot route the #2 receiver (the 3-receiver side slot receiver) to a Post route. Hot route the #3 receiver (the tight end) to a Wheel.
What happens when the bug occurs? Both the play-side safety _and_ the slot cornerback man up on the #3 wheel route post-snap and no one defends the post route. This is incorrect. Assuming pass protection holds up, the defense gives up a one-play touchdown to the post route.
What do you expect to see? In Stubbie rules, the play-side safety should be reading 3-to-2. As soon as he sees #3 go to the flat (and the slot CB Quarter Flat follows him), he should key on #2 and his vertical release and convert to man coverage against #2, thus not giving up a one-play touchdown.

Thanks!
