Warrior General Games

Hi!
I'm the DC of my own team and has a solid def AI...as you can see my team was the #1 in pass and rush D and of course in overall D this year, but we got beaten by the stronger opponents regularly...
I use an AI where I make outputs for every offensive formations...after I watch the lost games I can't find any mismatch(I mean lb on WR) or bad coverage, but the strong offenses were able to make plays on us continually...This next year I will play against really strong opponents, since I got promoted and wanna be able to be competitive...
What would you guys recommend for me to do??
Thanks

(1.) Recruit higher level players with better builds...

or

(2.) Wait for the stronger teams to get promoted.

Pick weakest 1/2 positions and upgrade.

More scouting and hope for the best.

I just got promoted, so there will be lots of strong teams this year!
This will be a good test year!
