In the last game vs the Giants in the DFL, I had a few "hot reads" against my defense that resulted in big gains and scores. So, I made a note to review the plays and check what the plays were that were triggering the hot reads, usually its the goaline def being "auto'd". But not in this case, it turns out that the two defensive plays that were causing the hot reads were the CB3 and 2 LB blitz plays, everyone has those 2 in their defensive playbooks. They used to be 2 of the best defenses you could use, but have been made useless by the hot reads.

So, here's the wierd or strange part, I did not have either of those two plays active for the game, I dont use them anymore because of the hot reads. They did not show being used when I checked my play results for the game. But, they showed up big time in the play log for the game! Those two were the only plays triggering hot reads in the game with the Giants. What's goin on? How is that possible? Rules are not going to use a play that is inactive, so its not that. This is real strange, could be a hack. Here is link to the game play log https://dfl.myfootballnow.com/log/792

There's a lot of weird stuff going on right now, however, I haven't noticed that happening. Good call on those two defenses, though, as I avoid using them like the plague.

I've noticed changes to the hot reads too but in a different way. Offense is not as lethal in cutting up the middle with backs via touchdowns....you see the runner slowing down, getting caught from behind.
