Let me throw out some stuff you will need to do if you plan on playing online and not getting smashed every game (if you only use KC like I do):
vs teams/kids that run a lot of option:
left trigger pre-snap, choose option commit running back. User the MLB/ILB or SS (i prefer berry) and scrape-exchange with the DE that is crashing on the RB. Nine times out of ten you will stop him for a loss or cause a fumble. Your basically playing the QB 1v1. Same holds true for speed option or triple, you got the QB.
play man defense:
get quick enough to make multiple adjustments on defense for man. There are so many options you can do now like disguise coverage, new man align feature and shading the receivers. You need to be fast enough to be able to shade all his outside (X/Z) receivers INSIDE, and shake his slots/wings OUTSIDE. I like to take away the middle myself so now im protected vs the deep outs/corner routes from the slots. If they throw it yourr guy will be in position every time to undercut the route if you shaded him.
mixing in zone:
throw man at him a whole quarter or half, now start mixing in zone WITH MAN ALIGN. I do this when blitzing and they get confused as hell. If you do play zone on passing downs, make sure to PASS COMMIT.
For run defense I've been ok with just playing gap control D. I like man coverage so I'll just use berry and come into the box if needed. If you use KC defense book, use 3-4 even vs I-form runners, stack or solid for ace/big/jumbo. 3-4 to me is like 3-4 over on steroids. It puts all your beef on the strong side, so all you need to do is user scrape/watch for counter or cutback with the weak side safety.
Send me a FR if your on xbox and we can play some unranked to lab. I need to work on some zone blitzes out of 2-4-5, none seem to get in.

excellent.
Now, have you varied this at all with your nickel having QB responsibilities? Additionally, how often does PA out of the same alignment affect your effectiveness (really, is the run fake "hard" and does it look similar to the ZR play in the same alignment?)?
