Many sections will not come up in every game.
If the situation calls for a goal-line defense (ball at the 1-yard line or a third or fourth down and one and personnel showing a run play), the game will call a goal-line defense for you. In prevent situations, you’ll have a four-deep defense on the field with dime personnel.
The idea behind this design is that defenses often have just seconds to make a play call once the offensive personnel is on the field and the down and distance clear. Without this level of advance planning, defenses would have to remain remarkably simple

I think there are definitely some wrinkles that can be applied to defense, like more control over blitzing (like a blitzing hierarchy we determine, not the game) or presnap movement (to confuse rookie QBs, but occasionally have D out of place), but drawing up defensive plays isn't in the cards. Defense is generic for a reason, all it would take is the WR being set in motion to completely destroy your scripted defensive play.
