I typically run a four man front with 94 zadarius (edge threat elite), 95 sapp (inside stuff, light it up-unstoppable force), 93 Chris jones (inside stuff), 92 Aaron Donald (nothing).
I user a safety in nickel cover 2. but no matter the situation, the inside stuffs barely make plays and I am lucky for a sack a game. typically qb contain and sometimes pinch.
am I using the wrong abilities or is there an adjustment I should be making in game?
Use your free S4 token set on Madabeast and run two unstoppable force on your defensive line. Inside stuff will help stop inside zone runs, but not going to do much for generating pressure if that's what you mean. The Karlaftis coming out today will also have 1AP unstoppable force all game with the token similar to Sapp, but he's going to be expensive. Could try running a little dollar and bringing a 4th rusher from the LB or slot corner slot to generate more pressure than just a pure 4 man front.

use the prelit unstoppable forces and dont contain. could consider switching to dime/61 and pinch line crash down. also usering the cover 2 safety is dumb, user a lb/sublb
Really most pass rushing abilities I feel are useless except for Double or nothing, inside stuff won't help with sacks but hopefully you're stopping the inside run with two of them.
One thing I do when I'm selling out for pressure is predicting pass and spreading the line, it gives them the best angles on the O lineman and gives them a pass rushing boost when you pass commit. Doing that will leave you very susceptible to the run though.
Containing and pinching are great for stopping the run and the QB run, but will limit you when it comes to pass rushing.
One more tip I can give is bringing your user closer to the line until you see a blocker resistance meter and a pass rushing meter over your user, doing this can confuse the blocking and give your rusher a chance of not being picked up or at least not doubled.
But at the end of the day, pass rushing is broken this year for the D-line... it's just not very effective. Best way to get sacks is to run blitzes, different plays out of the same formation to mix up the coverages while giving the O the same look and making them take more time.

Well contain will certainly limit your pass rushing capabilities. It’s meant to keep the QB in the pocket, so that’s def a problem. Also your dline is kinda dated at this point and I’d recommend upgrading for sure. Edge threat kinda sucks this year but it should still work so I think the contra is messing it up. Pinch should only be used if you know they’re running inside zone or anything not in pass rush situations, but if you have inside stuff you shouldn’t really need to pinch ever.

This is such great advice ^^^^^
Try DON on one of your edge rushers. preferably 1 AP.
Put Sapp at Rush DT 1 since they typically get double teamed less In that spot.
i have LT, Carter, Madabeast (UF X factor) Matthews (DON) on my line and I get multiple sacks and qb hits a game.
you should replace Donald as well
Another thing to try is flipping your edge rusher during the game. This will manage the resistance bars on the offensive tackles.
i manually switch them in different formations or put one of my DEs on the edge.
resistance doesn’t get talked about enough, but it’s a big factor for PR
Do you guys play Madabeast at LE or DT?

I use him at Rush DT 1. he’s great when the X factor is lit up, but average+ when it’s not.

If you get Karlaftis and Sapp and use tokens on them you will have UF lit all game on both. Then add Reggie or Madabeast with it on half the game. Don't contain, use a 4 man rush. I promise you , you'll get hella pressure
