quick screen?

If the defender has a huge cushion, you can call a streak and immediately throw the ball but that might be considered cheesing.

not true, smoke screen TB playbook I-Form (i think)

That's a play, not a hot route. There is no hot route for what he described.

my bad you're right, he said hot route, not play

The defensive backs in M10 don't use their cushion/press correctly so maybe next year. On last gen Maddens, you could playmaker the receiver you set to your primary by hitting down on the right stick pre-snap but that was only for designed pass plays and not a quick read like how Farve used to do on runs plays.

Most NFL teams that run that are actually in a run play and they are throwing a "quick slant" (a route which I have not seen in M10) where the WR just runs off the line at a diagonal, all the slant plays I have seen in M10 make the WR at least take a step straight up field before "cutting" into a slant route.

Most teams used to run that play where the WR would just stop, which I believe is what the original poster was asking about - but like so many controls that were perfect in last gen, EA took out the route you are looking for - it used to be down on the right stick, which is now a drag route - I really wish they would go back to last gen playmaker/hot route/motion controls and give us back formation audibles (minus the fatigue glitch), custom hot routes, and at least give us a pre-configured last gen control layout cuz it is far more user friendly and it just makes more sense as you had to let off sprint to do "special moves"!

Just setup a few quick screens as your audibles. Using the screens out the formations you use the most.
I agree w/ bringing the custom hot-routes back though, along w/ custom playbooks. These things should be a given for Madden 11.
