I use it all the time, and that game was my first against a human opponent. It's very useful, are you using the d-pad the to move your players?

As for the sacks, you won't get it every time. Just try setting up your defense to get better coverage and try using different packages. I usually wait for the offense to select a play, then it tells you what package they are coming out in (3 wr, 1 te, 1 rb, etc. etc.) and select the appropiate D. Another useful took is when you know the O is going for a long pass, use coverage audibles to bring your DBs back to cover the deep ball, and bringing them on up to stuff the WR at the line of scrimmage helps gives you an extra second or so to get even more pressure on the QB.

And on running plays, don't come out sprinting as soon you get the ball, slow down and wait for your blocks to develop then let loose. Always, always, always run right behind your lead blocker until he opens up the hole for you to break away.

I'm trying to tell you everything I do when I play, and I always have some pretty decent games, and getting overly frustrating with the game does not help at all.
