How do you know what order the QB reads the routes. I would like to engage my stud TE more.


Short answer: you don't.

Long answer: because the primary receiver is randomized for the play, you have to give your TE the highest possible chance to be the primary receiver. For instance, look at the 212 TE Cross, the 122 TE Flat, and the 311 PA TE Flat. All three of those plays have the TE as one of the only routes running short on the play. That gives the TE the maximum chance to be the primary receiver. There are other plays out there, but those three illustrate how to think like the game thinks.

Also, as soon as 0.4.3 is released, this will be completely different.

What would be completed different in the new release . I understand a lot of the new changes, but in particular ...... read progression would be different ?

The primary receiver is selected the same, but read progression is completely different. The QB no longer follows each receiver until the receiver reaches the end of his route. This makes it more difficult to use specific plays to target specific players -- like the TE. But instead, you get a wider distribution and more dump offs to the RBs, which adds another level of complexity to your game plan since it's better to leave the RB in to block on long downs than have the QB dump the ball off to him.

What if you're lazy (like me) and like to just pick plays and percentages and call it a day? :P
