Option Routes Bug: WR's Running Routes Not Shown in Play Art.

Option routes seem to have completely different logic compared to last years old gen (the previous version I played). Sometimes they run extremely shortened versions of the routes displayed in their play art. I have linked 3 medal clips (videos) of this happening. I use the Run n Shoot playbook for this demonstration.

As you can see from the video, the highlighted wr's all run very shortened versions of their option routes, when that is not an option according to their play art. 

I could go on about the flaws of option routes not working as expected, it seems like they no longer run their routes depending on how many deep safeties there are on the field (I know not all option routes are running based off this logic, but thats what most option routes did last year in old gen). 

Any explanation or feedback would be appreciated.

  • @Denguam29 It's not just option routes. It can be any route. I've witnessed many times a WR with a standard route, and the route they run is completely different from the one displayed in the playbook and the on-field play art
