We should, have the option to change a play up based on what can be read from the defence's pre-snap showing. That's FOOTBALL! Now, in saying that, instead of unrealistically limiting hot routes and audibles, how about making them less affective via miscommunication. Crowd noise, team chemistry, and hot route/audible execution, should be studied and then implemented as relevant factors in the game, thus making every team play unique to the subject.......
With all due respect to your post, you are mistaken, IMO. Hot routes/hot receivers are limited in a real NFL play. Not even Payton Manning comes to the LOS and "hot routes" every receiver on the play. If you change multiple routes, that's a new playcall, not a "hot route".

Definition of a "hot" receiver is: A receiver designated to accept a quick pass from the quarterback in the event of a blitz by the defense.

Example: If a quarterback recognizes the blitz before the snap, he may audible to the hot receiver so he can get rid of the ball before the defense has a chance to get to him.


We should NOT be able to come to the LOS in Madden and design new plays. This is what Madden actually allows now and it is NOT realistic.

EDIT*- On a side note, I do think they should add a bonus option for more route adjustment for WRs and QBs that have played together a long time. This would help differentiate WR/QB tandems and encourage team building, instead of just trying to grab the highest rated WR and QB's every year. Come to think of it, this would make sense for all areas of the game, offense, defense and special teams. The longer players play together in the same system, more playcall options, that are realistic, should be available to choose.
