Hot Route Reverse Slant

[miknhoj1983]

Anyone know if there is a way to hot route a reverse slant where the receiver slants towards the sidelines rather than over the middle? I really want to make it so they are running straight up and the do a 45 degree angle towards the sideline. I feel like this is one of the most effective routes.

There is no "out slant" in the NFL, you can do a "whip" route, by hot routing a "slant" to the outside, it works best from the slot with a Wes Welker type with the outside receiver clearing out the area.

You can find plays that have a "corner" route where the receiver goes up the field then breaks out to the sideline.

I know this isn't related to your specific question, but it is interesting to note you could do this in Madden 08 with great success. It was a good route in that game from the slot because you could lob or bullet and lead outside or up the field all depending upon the coverage.

corner routes were the best thing in madden 10. you couldn't stop those. now a hitch is the unstoppable play, i guess.

It was removed because of its effectiveness and replaced with the zig/route. The problem in reality was/is the defense. You don't see (or at least I don't) see the out route run a lot in the NFL because it's a hard throw with a high probability of pick 6.

It's not a route in real life football so they took it out

this is why you dont ask questions on OS. All these noobs love giving the wrong answer. Certain plays on offense allow you to hot route the route you are asking for. But I wont bother telling you because I love seen all the stupid responses you just got.
