Madden 18 Franchise - Multiple Issues - Ready to Give Up and go Back to 17

I’m playing as the Viking in franchise mode in “all  offense” and the defense, which is a 93 overall gives up 40 points a game! Meanwhile, I am the top offense in the league, but I am 1-4 through 5 games. Stupid game, that is insulting my football iq. This is an absolutely trash game and Madden should quite honestly be ashamed for treating such a loyal customer base so poorly by providing a product that reflects an embarrassing lack of empathy and effort. Last madden I will buy.
