Try a different RB if you havent already, I know it sounds weird but I had zero success with Gore and after his injury Ive had 2 of 3 games with Foster where he ran for over 100. Otherwise just keep at it, Im having the same problem with a lack of sacks so Im just holding out hope that they will improve as my skill continues to adjust. How many games have you played so far using my skill/my IQ?

I'm having the same problems playing on My Skill.

Rarely get any pressure on the QB, there's no way I can get double digit sacks with a defensive end unless maybe I blitz everybody on every single play. Rushing is impossible for me too, I've only had one game where I've had more than 100 yards team rushing. The irritating thing is that even if I have like 20 rushes for 30 yards, the Rushing IQ will still stay maxed out.

It's hard to get any running game going when my running back gets hit in the backfield three out of every four attempts. Heh, before I completely gave up on running the ball and traded away my star RB for someone who could be more effective, he was leading the league in Yards After First Hit but near last in actual yards.

My roommate consistently gets good yards rushing though with maxed out rushing IQ, what he does is run a 4 WR spread with a single back. The CPU will only leave 5 in the box to cover the WRs, and if they move more people into the box he'll just audible to a quick passing play to one of the uncovered WRs. It's not a great solution because you should be able to run the ball out of other formations, but it's a solution nonetheless.

For interceptions, you should try taking user control of the defenders. If you don't want to actually cover anybody, you could just switch to the defender when the ball is coming. Otherwise, if the receiver is in front of the defender, your guy will just wait for the ball to get caught and then tackle the guy instead of making a play for the ball.
