Infinity and I were talking about the same thing (broken zone reads). Spy is actually a M2M cover scheme where the Spy doesn't actually go man up on the player he's spying until that player gets the ball or breaks contain. Other than being slow to react, the Spy reads the running plays OK.
It's says man in the play heading but if you look at lb classification it's a zone in. Under assignment it says qb spy, but I am betting that slow read is just like all the slow reads that come from any lb in any type of zone coverage assignment.
Here its a zone play for the LB...not a man assignment , like a real life, well a mirror assignment with a blitz when QB is near the line 8f scrimmage .
It would be better to have the lb act like lbs that cover backs out of the back feild while in man coverage . As they mirror till the ball is thrown. These lbs in spy should mirror till the qb gets close to the line. Or like a delayed blitz . Still a pretty pointless tactic till qb run again
