Anyone else having trouble with the Read-Option?

Yes,It's pretty balanced for me as well

i figured this out yesterday after days of frustration. I do know that on Varsity the read man will take dive 100% of time on triple options out of any formation except Flex close. on all american it works perfect, with the de playing the qb at a 40-45% clip. i played 11 quarters on my Army dyansty and didnt see the read man take the qb once after seeing all the time in practice. idk what its doing on heisman with this. havent tested it. but on varsity it 100% broke. on allamerican i messed iwth sliders and threshold and it still worked so its something in the levels. no this is in dyansty, it worked proper in practice on varsity. idk how it works in play now or season play.

(Sorry to bring up a fairly old thread)

I'm also having trouble with it. I run with Oregon, and, in real life, they run the read option 95% of the time. But I'm having to run lots of traps, dives, and counters (ie Designed HB runs) just to give my backs some carries. If I don't, Marcus Mariota ends up with 20-25 carries per game.
It annoys me because they really put in a lot of reads with moving linemen this year, but they don't matter, because the QB is gonna get it anyway.
I also know that this problem happens with the Flexbone/Wingbone offenses as well, with the DE always crashing. So the FB, which in real life gets the bulk of the carries, will end the game with around 9-10.
I'm not sure if there's a way to change this with sliders or difficulty, but it kinda ruins the Zone Read offense for me.
