My defense is atrocious… I get zero pressure and zones don’t work yet I have hardly anytime to make a read on offense. I don’t get it.

Learn the meta.
Heres what I've run into:
Willie/Edge blitz from Dime 3-2.
Cover 4 out of 3-3 Cub. Contain, Slide OLB out wide, and play match coverage.
3-3 odd hot blitz, show blitz, zone the blitzing LB and adjust the coverage any way you want.
Double mug send 6 and pray.
3-4 odd show blitz out of cover 4.
6-1 - send 4,5,6, etc
Tip: If someones defense is destroying you, learn how to run it yourself, and see how your opponent is beating you with it. rinse and repeat. For example, 6-1 used to give me hell last year. I decided to run 6-1, and the top players would pick me apart out of trips TE. Learning and adapting turned me into a better madden player.

Everyone's defense is atrocious. If you play top players, with good rosters, then you won't be able to stop them.
The thing about Madden, and it has been like this from day one, is that there really is not defensive adaptability. I can call the same play for an entire game and I will still find an open man... This would not happen in real life, the adjustment would happen instantaneously.
If you have the 4 best corners in the game along with the best Zone safety duo in the game and you threw in the 4 best pass rushers in the game, you would assume that it would be extremely difficult to throw the ball against your defense, but in Madden, none of that matters... You will get not pass rush, and their receivers will all be open.
You can learn all the Meta plays and defensive adjustments, but you will eventually get torched.
defense is hard this year my best strategy has been just mixing it up and hoping to confuse my opponent into making a mistake. Works on some and some can just pick me apart all game no matter what I run

61 with cover 4 quarters has been hard for me this year but this is excellent advice. I love how you said to run the defense yourself to find what beats it.
I personally like the nickel 33 normal right now as it seems off meta these days. Used to be highly popular, but this year I haven't seen almost anyone run it. But my results are about as good as anything else I've tried so far.
