Now in NCAA and Madden, if the play call is for all 5 eligible receivers to go out in to a pattern, I could see this play getting killed by a quick pass to whichever receiver is left uncovered.

if the rolling safety manned up on the outside or squatted? at least one reciever will be open on this play, maybe two, on the game. like you said, it all works in real life b/c the running backs will have a check read, and the blitzing backers will peel off & man up if the backs don't stay in. but that is too much high level thinking for ea's engine, so what we'll get is an exploitable play, especially if the safety rolling over is squatted.

That 245 Nickel play had people moving pre-snap without the red path. So I can only hope defensive backfield play has been addressed.

The red route just means man coverage. However, the sort of darkened part indicates that the player will start at the end of that line rather than at the beginning where he normally is (there are a few plays in Miami's Ace-Big that use the same thing).

that's a good point. wonder if they changed some of the read/release routes for the backs then.
