Short in/out abilities question

With abilities like short,mid, and deep ins and outs does it activate wherever the first cut is AND do you need to be within the zone that ability calls for? 

EXAMPLE... If I run a quick slant from my outside receiver and he has short out but I catch it inside the numbers or beyond 10 yards is it deactivated? Or if I run a slant with slot wr who has short in do I have to still catch it inside the numbers and less than ten yards to get the boost? Or is the first cut the only thing that matters? Ty

i think the ability lights up where the description is supposed to work. for example. short in will light up when you run the route between the numbers. i think it depends on where the wr/te is lined up. if they are lined up outside the numbers then short in won't light up

These abilities will activate on the cut and on the catch if it’s within the specified area/requirement for that ability.

To answer your examples:

The slant from the outside would activate on the cut if the cut happens outside the numbers but it wouldn’t activate on the catch inside the numbers or beyond 10 yds.

The slant from the slot would activate on the cut but it wouldn’t activate on the catch if it happens outside the numbers or beyond 10 yds.

Ok ty. So the cut and the catch both need to happen within the area of ability? So if I use short in the inside wr needs to have it and not my outside?

If that's the case then wouldn't short out not be very viable since how many routes cut and catch outside the numbers

What was said is the case, but soe is still viable because it's been proven to beat press, the catch piece is just a bonus

Yes that is correct.

I prefer Short In but Short Out can be useful on outside WR’s. Especially if you play against Man Press, if you have an Outside WR with a high Release rating and Short Out it can activate on a streak and completely beat the Man Press DB for an easy TD.

Ty. How do you tell the wr release rating? I can't find it

When you look at the card on here it’s the last attribute in the “Receiving” section. It says RLS meaning Release. It has also been referred to as “Beat Press” because that’s really what it does.

Release is the rating that goes directly against the defenders Press rating. When everyone was still using Deion’s Field Pass card I would look for him whenever my opponents would be in Man Press because Deion’s Press rating is usually really bad and you can just put a decent WR on a streak and throw a lob if there‘s no safety help on that side. It would be an easy TD 9 times out of 10. Deion’s Press rating is actually really high on his ROH card so that doesn’t work anymore but sometimes you can still burn DB’s right off the line if they keep Pressing every play.

Ty for all the help. I only started playing in the middle of February and I still am not good at the actual gameplay of this game only the auction house. Do you know how the h2h matchmaking works? Everyone I match up against just kill me

No problem, feel free to DM me with questions if you want as well.

The H2H gameplay is much different than playing challenges/solos. The best thing you can do if you want to play H2H is hang around in games and try different things on both sides of the ball to find plays that work. Watch what your opponents are doing and try learn as much as possible from them.

I don’t know exactly how the matchmaking works but if you lose a few games in a row usually you will start getting matched with easier opponents. Same goes for winning games, if you keep winning you will start getting matched up with tougher opponents until you start losing again.
