I think that without a patch the read option is basically unstoppable, The CPU close to 90% of the time chases the RB and leaves the QB guaranteeing at least a 7+ yard run. Jameis Winston is leading the nation in rushing in my FSU dynasty (About 13 ypc) so I think that some house rules are necessary. I thought I'd show you guys mine and everyone can share how often or how they handle running the read option.

-Only run once per quarter
-Can't run it on 3rd down
-can't run it on 4th down
-can't run it inside the 5 yard line

What are you guys using?

I run an option offense in one of my dynasties and there are certainly users, and occasionally the CPU, who shut it down. It's stoppable.

Agree. With right sliders good defensive teams give me fits when I run spread option plays. It destroys bad defenses though. The best thing this game could do to neutralize its effectiveness is implement a fumble slider

Bogus house rules. Figure out a defense to stop it.

I have been running the read option exclusively for at least 3 years now...it is the offense that I was most intrigued by quite honestly. I attended a coaching seminar and chip kelley was a speaker and he went into the concepts, I decided it was for me.

I ran the early 90's Nebraska Power I/ Power Option offense for years before this, with only a year or two deviation running a one back offense/ pro style.

I understand that they made it very difficult this year, I am a defensive guy at heart, and hate what they've turned it into. But THAT is the game. I wasn't complaining when I was facing 5 wide every game online the past few years...take your lumps. Ultimately- just learn to stop it. If you can't- be sure you can score enough points.

First 2 plays of the game. Heisman/Heisman, needs to be addressed in a patch, it's cheese.
