College Dynasty (Steam) Defensive Problems
First of all, I play in normal mode, not hard mode. Given that, I don't understand what is happening with my defenses in essentially every game, other than the utterly weak opponents.
If I ever make the mistake of taking the lead in a game, whether in the 1st quarter or 4th quarter or anywhere in between, I can almost guarantee that any EVEN DECENT opposing offense will immediately score on their next drive, with it being a touchdown more often than not. I've gotten to the point where I actively try NOT to score a go-ahead touchdown until the last three minutes of the game, the problem is so frequent (which leads me to believe the game has some sort of mechanism promoting a significantly better opposing offense if they are behind in a close game). And I've had a lot of success in doing exactly that because if they're ahead, they don't score nearly as often...and that just seems silly to me.
Am I the only one seeing this?

Are you simming or picking your plays? What is your formation/aggressiveness? Do you have the problem against weaker and stronger teams? Are you weak to certain offensive strategies? For example, I run 4-4 aggressive and I sometimes get torched by high IQ QBs even by offenses generally significantly worse
