Pay attention to the routes that the WR is running that you are continually getting beat on. If they are slants, streaks or out/in routes, it's because your secondary or perhaps that corner is pressing him and the WR is beating the press coverage. If you are being beat by comeback routes, it's because your corner is playing too far off (most likely a zone coverage assignment). Also, if the CPU is throwing to the same WR who is continually getting open, you can spotlight the WR to put more attention on him. The flip side to the spotlight is that it COULD leave someone else open.
I don't know what defender you control, but I normally control the MLB or a Safety and will play to my assignment, but if I am the MLB, I watch the middle of the field like a hawk for slant routes, etc. Especially if I am in press coverage. I know what you mean though about the QB always somehow finding the open WR. It's happened more than a few times to myself as well.
I know speed plays a huge part in videogame football, but i've noticed that guys with high awareness ratings and play recognition seem to not fall victim to certain things. So when I recruit, I don't necessarily always go after the high OVR guys. I'll find guys with certain attributes that fit my team and run with that.

It is mostly out routes or corner routes. I usually don't press my DB's up, just keep them at their normal depth. I've tried backing them off, but they still get burned on the same routes. Usually isn't the same receiver either. I've tried pushing my safety's out wide, but doesn't seem to help either.
I play as the DLinemen for the most part. This game is causing me to have to change strategy a bit because they have made it infinitely harder to play as such, so I'm learning to play some as a safety.
