Curious to know if any guys really scheme and look for certain guys for your scheme. I think it's a very sim way to approach the game. I get the most out of creating the Xs and Os of my schemes and going out and trying to execute them faithfully online and offline.
For me, offensively I'm committed to running an all 12 shotgun scheme basing out of the Wing Flex Offset. It's centered around a Mobile Qb. Almost any HB can work, but Empty Ace Patriot is my only 5 Wide Set because I can maintain the integrity of the scheme , so if you don't have a back who is comfortable running routes and catching passes, you can also find one and spell him in. What makes this offense go is the 2 TEs however. They MUST be able to BLOCK. Blocking first, receiving second. This enables me to have a number advantage at the point of attack almost always, and can do massive damage in the run game as well as PA game. In the event I dont have the advantage In the box, my WRs must be guys that can beat you deep to keep a defense on its toes. I want to run the ball almost 75% of the time from different 12 groupings in shotgun.
Defensively I want run a dominant 4-3 base out of the normal. A base that I can stay in the entire game. I want the entire DLine run stopping, and a fast LB core to to match up to multiple WR sets and a MLB who can cover ground, and help in the run game. My LBs are protected to move around freely against the run.. and they are the heart of my defense because done right, with the right players, they never leave the field. Behind the front 7 i base in qtrs coverage and adjust from that scheme according to wat the offense does. The back 4 (CBs and Safeties) and DLine can really be plug and play guys. As long as they do they job. The LBs are your biggest need.
Sorry for the length. Things like this just make the game worthwhile IMO

Which 4-3 formation do you base out of? Stack?
I've been favoring basing out of 4-3 Under with my MLB and ROLB being cover guys with some speed and my LOLB being more of a 3-4 Pass Rusher. The LOLB being well rounded is more valuable to me than a pure pass rusher from the position.
On the DL I want a 3-4 DE at DT1 and LE and a NT at DT2. At RE I want the best pure pass rusher I can find. At the other positions I want strong block shedders.
For my corners I prefer guys that are better in man, but they can't be terrible in zone. At the safety spot I like guys that are balanced between man and zone and have some speed. Once I have guys who fit that mold at safety I work on building their pursuit, play rec and awareness.
I like to stay in my base defense unless forced out of it, with the exception of 3rd and long I'll go Nickel or Dime depending on the offensive personnel.
