Tips for Defensive Challenges?

I am struggling to get full stars on some of these defensive challenges. One of them required to force an incompletion and it just wouldn’t count. I would see it check the box in game, but when I finished it would not give me credit. How do you do the challenges where you need to get a hit stick? I swear they never register for me.

For a hit stick depends on how many yards you can give up...if can give up say 20 then go into prevent and leave rb uncovered by your lb...or go into coach suggest and change tackling to aggressive...ai players will go for hit sticks constantly.  For incompletions it might seem counterintuitive but user a d lineman and get pressure but avoid the sack.  Force a scramble or rushed throw
