Would like to see minimums for play selection and use, similar to roster requirements, the Ai steps in when the min or max is reached.
Except what are min and max in terms of defense? The fact of the matter is that defensive overuse needs to be scrapped ... period. The only reason that overuse is a thing is that certain defenses used to dominate the offensive line: Nickel Strong CB Blitz Double LB Blitz, 4-3 Double LB Blitz, etc.
Now, QBs recognize the blitz almost immediately and throw the ball. Seriously, blitz plays produce very few sacks, and when they do produce sacks it's against Long Passing plays that are going to get sacked by most defenses with a strong defensive line anyway (but please keep running the Waggle against the 46 Heavy 2 Deep everyone).
The reason for defensive overuse therefore isn't valid anymore.
