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"!
