As someone who uses 5- Wide as my primary offense, I run a lot of those quick little out routes... and they will still be there, you'll just have to use them against Man.
Another thing I think people need to realize and is one thing that I think EA has done an excellent job w/ is the Lead Passing. Keep in mind, I am not talking trajectory or loft, but lead passing has been a big key to passing successfully.
Say you have a guy that runs a 10 yard hook route against this new zone defense... instead of just throwing the ball to the guy where the defender can jump in front for a pick or knock it away, you can throw left... if the defender is on his right, right if the defender is on the left, and when he's squared up right behind him, you throw it low... forcing your WR to go down and scoop the ball.
The lead passing feature is something that I rarely see mentioned, but it is a huge benefit to the passing game. Now, if they can get trajectory and loft correct... watch out!

I run what is basically the pro-style of your offense. I run a bunch of quick routes, but out of the I form and only 2 or 3 wideouts. Lead Passing is one of my favorite things to use, until I get a less accurate QB (which I'm stuck with for this season. 5 star recruit I got was a scrambler (one or 2 5 stars to ever have interest with me), and his accuracy isn't very good. Tried to use lead passing with him, and it's a crapshoot. Not complaining; that's how it should be. But with the new zones, there must be a way to throw a touch pass instead of just a lob or a bullet.
