Okay so I have 96+ at all o-line and some abilities but still people rush 3 and get straight through, and I also can't run for crap with Raheem moster with jukebox and joystick. Also I have 2 inside stuffs and 2 no outsiders, but still can't stop the run. Also 98 cam jordan with unstoppable force, inside stuff, and no outsiders barely gets past any blocks. What is goin on?

Stats barely matter and the OVR ratings on cards literally do not matter, whatsoever. Basically, you need to have Secure Protector ability on your entire offensive line, starting with both Tackles and Center, at the very least. Edge Protector does not and will not slow down, let alone counter all the various D-line X-factors and abilities. However, SecurePro does often (but not always) counter things liek Inside Stuff and No Outsiders. Bonus points for adding Linchpin to your O-line, which should help improve the run game by increasing the block shed timers. You just need one (Linchpin) and it will boost your entire O-line. Andrew Thomas Sugar Rush card is a fantastic option, gets both for 0AP.
If you happen to have a Superbowl: Past Light it Up token you can get 0AP Secure Protector on Andrew Whitworth, otherwise his S5 (97 OVR) card gets Secure Protector for 1AP, i believe. On the right side, you want Rob Havenstein as RT, he does not need to be fully upgraded in order to get 0AP SecurePro.
Generally speaking, the way i liek to approach the game, especially lately, is to try and match up abilities to areas of the field. Doesn't matter that Andrew Thomas is a right tackle, according to his natural position, he can just as easily play at Guard or even Center and still preserve those wonderful abilities. Don't sweat the fact that the OVR rating changes if you happen to move him around on the O-line, the only thing you truly lose out on is team chemistries, if that is something you care about. I would urge you to consider abilities above ALL else.
As far as running the ball, it's really any HB that gets Angry Runs, or nothing at all. You are at an immense disadvantage, even when running with a brilliant back, such as Mostert, with base 99 SPD. Heck, even the old 94 OVR Derrick Henry (Ghosts of MUT) or Peyton Hillis, both of which get Angry Runs, will probably make for a better run game than the zippy Mostert. Again, because abilities are everything.
Stopping the run is a different beast entirely. Do you have Secure Tackler on your USER? It's ridiculously hard to bring down Angry Runs opponents unless/until you have these abilities. Then we can discuss scheme, if you are able to suffer through my ramblings.

fantastic info and trustworthy source OP
just gonna add that if you only blitz 3 people you’ll never shed in the pass game. If you send 3 you want to blitz with your user and hover over the line

Thanks for helping to fill in some gaps, i glossed over his defensive questions after going on a bit of a rant, didn't want to overwhelm the poor guy anymore than i already did. Please ask more questions, there's TONS of knowledgeable folks here, such as elmango30 who helped me learn the game when i started my very first MUT squad back just before Xmas during `23 cycle. I've got easily 1000+ hours into `24 alone. I'm not particularly great at the game, but i've acquired a fairly solid conceptual understanding of how things work (or don't).

Basically telling him sometimes it’s nothing he can do or anything “he did or is doing wrong”. So you’re response to me if anything is untrue and unhelpful. Be better.

You didn’t say that though…and spreading false information to people looking for help on the game isn’t helpful. I’m sorry for hurting your feelings, but I don’t believe I said anything untrue or unhelpful. Have a good day

Madden has to “keep the player engaged“ because ea thinks if you’re getting fucked over and cheated that it will make you want to play more and worst of all spend money. So unfortunately you just have to take the good with the bad of madden. Do the best you can, play how you want and try to enjoy the game the best way possible for you. It’s not up to me to tell you how to enjoy your game, despite most folks here screaming otherwise

A) not a kid
b) I was being sincere
c) be better is much more passive aggressive and condescending than anything I’ve said
I’m not hijacking this thread any longer. Have a good night

DDA exists and has for years. There's far too much evidence at every level to deny it.

the evidence is not compelling to me, but I understand how it could be
