Why is it so hard to see a WRs release? (Or is release not as important as I think?)

I’m trying to figure out what WR to use out wide if I’m getting pressed a lot, and I always assumed a players release was what helped them blow past a defender…but when I look at my WRs attributes it doesn’t even show release. Am I taking crazy pills?

so either am I wrong and that’s not a release stat, or am I looking in the wrong place?

On this site I go to compare then I expand all stats. I like using release as a factor for my wrs and te's is I know they'll plan in the slot on sets.

You can only see the release on this site. Dumb they took it out of in game visuals.

There's three abilities in the game that will help you insta-beat Man Press attempts, with or without Bottleneck.

1. Double Me
2. RAC 'em Up 
3. Max Security

Stats barely matter, especially not at this time of year. Abilities are absolutely everything.  There's some "Tug of War" theories when it comes to things liek blocking calculations, or CB press & WR release, but that's an entirely separate conversation topic. 

Try Reggie Wayne, with 2AP RAC 'em Up and watch him cook. That's cheapest way to test this out.

Don't ask me how or why the game is coded in such a manner, but it's been THE way to defeat Man coverage, especially Press attempts for as long as I've been back and playing Ultimate Team.

I got Justin jefferson with double me and through 5 games he has been getting completely owned by press, so idk what to believe Now lol. 😆

You're putting him on a Streak? It's not 100% guaranteed win each and every single snap. I'm just using Route Tech on my JJettas, combined with Short Elite, he's able to get wide open on a simple Drag route.

Have you tried to work in some cheat motion, as well? Helps to have multiple receivers to beat Man Press, as you cannot count on it every single time.
