Pls Help me

my team is trash becuase i dont want to spend money on the game. I have been in three straight champs games and everyone I have played has reggie bush and either kyler or vick. I don't know what to do and my whole team sucks. Does anybody have a really good defensive playbook or anything that can help. My offense is decent but damn my defense is ass

The MOST important aspect of defense is being a really good user.  Doesn’t matter the scheme, you’ve got to be able to cover vulnerable areas, bait your opponent into thinking your covering one guy and then switch quickly to another receiver, be able to shoot gaps to stop the run, etc.   Once you get to the playoffs and National Title game you’re usually playing really decent competition.  They can pick apart AI coverages.   Usering is the difference maker in this game, especially with the addition of being able to switch stick.   Just watch some YouTube videos on tips and tricks to improve your usering skills.   

Also don’t sweat too much on your teams OVR rank.    DDA couldn’t be more obvious in this game mode.   It’ll level the playing field for you.   Just get efficient at usering.

i use the base playbook, should i switch

also should i user safety or mlb im assuming not dline

Personally I like 4-2-5.    

I would recommend usering a LB with a hook curl assignment until you get all the basics down.

Only use DL on 4th and long to bring pressure

4-2-5 Nickel Over/Under G is a great place to start. 

You can even double tap the right “R1” for your ends to contain, which can help prevent the speedy running backs from getting the edge. However, your user will need to fill the gaps on the inside. also, you can mess with some 3-3 in the same playbook and see what works best for you.

The fact that he's right and ive spent over $100 on this game and only have a 94 ovr with strategy is kinda crazy. I spent a massive amount on this game and EA gives me  low to nothing in return. My hopes for this game are fading away.
