Tips to improve play

Just ended a brutal night of losses few days ago. Play 2Oregon week 13 as USC. Their first drive I couldn’t stop them of course. I get the ball and they can’t stop my run game. I kill em at the goal line with a HB misdirection and juke to score. Don’t even get a chance at PAT and the EA servers disconnect. I play them again and I can’t do anything. They kill me in the pass and the run is stuffed every time. I lose then advance week to play my buddy UCLA. He’s a hot route merchant and I can’t stop the pass at all of course. Nothing I do works. Then go to my other online dynasty and lose to my buddy who isn’t that good but I can’t convert a 3rd for shit. 3 back to back losses that had important meaning.

Does anybody have any YT videos or general advice at how to exploit coverages or read defenses ? Also need help in reading the opponents formation then calling a defense that compliments it.

My weaknesses:

1. I stare down receivers.

• a habit I broke for a while but crept back in to haunt me. If my first read isn’t open I panic scramble or just throw it anyway.

2. I don’t trust my O Line.

• if I know a blitz is coming I drop back 30 yards then throw off my back foot

3. No pocket presence

• i feel like im in one of those old Madden mini games where I HAVE to throw the ball within like 3 seconds. If I feel I’m in the pocket too long I panic and throw to a receiver I stared down for 3 hours or I run out the pocket and stop looking for open receivers.

4. I don’t know when to scramble

• it’ll be 4 and 2 and I’m rolling out the pocket and I’m so focused on throwing to a receiver I don’t realize I can rush for damn near 7 yards for a completion.

Losing is part of the game, even when AI has it in script to beat you. But playing so terrible it’s like you roll over and die is a different kind of pain
