Hi guys, I find that increasing the difference between false start and holding gives good results in order to reduce sacks.

I was playing with:
False start 90 (in the hope to get few calls but it's too inconsistent, I got a false start just once)
Holding 95 (I get a couple of calls during every game...would like more but it is what it is)
CPU Pass Block 99

I was getting way too many sacks. Then I started to mess around with the penalties sliders and lowered false start to 51 and the number of sacks went down. You can clearly see how harder is for the DL to disengage the block and get to the QB. Even if you are able to win against the off. linemen you are facing most of the times it will be too late to sack the QB since he already thew the ball (few times the QB was hit exactly while delivering the ball). The downside of setting false start at 51 and holding at 95 is that then running game is overpowered so you need to adjust some other sliders (run block, tackle, clipping ...) in order to get a good balance.

That's what I experienced and I thought to share.
