Madden 20 introduces powerful X-Factor players and Superstar abilities only available to select players. Conversely, if you’re playing against an opponent with these abilities, you’re going to want to know what you’re going up against.These abilities are used throughout the game, but they can only be switched in/out in Madden Ultimate Team and QB1 Face of the Franchise. Of particular note is the X-Factor Double Me (increased chance of an Aggressive catch against single coverage) given how powerful aggressive catches are in the game. Most players rarely have a problem with this in the first place.Fast Break (Superstar) – This gives QBs faster control to execute QB-designed runs. In practice, I didn’t find it super useful. In the future, if you see a player with one of these abilities, you should give them serious consideration because these sound valuable. Some gamers use them to great effect, but if you don’t use them, then obviously these abilities won’t help you at all. MUT head-to-head gameplay is awash with ball carrier special moves, so these abilities fit right in.
Developer EA Tiburon plans to add and subtract from the list during the season, tweaking which players have what, so you’ll have to be on the lookout for that.If you have your own thoughts on which X-Factors or Superstar abilities are valuable, list them down in the comments section below.I’ve broken down the game’s current abilities based on a few broad categories:These abilities combine two separate Superstar abilities, making them rare and particularly effective.
Reinforcement is a close second, which helps defensive backs shed blocks and make stops closer to the line of scrimmage, but also aids in pass disruption.The Clutch, Homer, and Indoor Baller Superstar abilities all get you into the zone for your X-Factors faster, making them all useful assuming you like your player's X-Factor.I wouldn’t say any Superstar ability or X-Factor is completely worthless, but some are less useful than others.Pro Reads (X-Factor) – While it sounds great that your first open read as a QB is highlighted, in practice I found that either I already made the read before the A.I. Apart from that, this year’s abilities add to your mobility in and out of the pocket, and are pretty much good across the board (see below for a list of some of the more questionable abilities). I personally don’t call many of these in the first place.First One Free (X-Factor) – This running back X-Factor gives you an increased chance to pull off a spin, juke, or hurdle – but only the first one. Also, Protected and Secure Protector relate to the o-line, so you can't ignore those either.Apart from the mobility-related abilities for QBs listed above, most of the rest are related to throwing accuracy under specific conditions (called Deadeye) and precision passing. Balance Beam – Automatic stumble recovery when carrying the ball.Bruiser – Ballcarriers with this ability have more powerful truck and stiff arm animations.Bulldozer – Excels at the truck special move when carrying the ball.Clutch Kicker – Kicker cannot be iced by an opponent timeout during critical field goals.Focused Kicker – Kick-meter cursor speed is significantly slower for more precise place kicking.Gunslinger – Faster passing animations & increased max pass speed on bullet passes.Gutsy Scrambler – Passers with this ability won't be adversely affected by pass rush pressure while throwing on the run.Human Joystick – Increased agility as a ball carrier.In Post Elite – Combines In Specialist and Post Specialist.Long Range Deadeye – Perfect passing accuracy on all deep throws except high & low throws with the QB's feet set.Lurker – Ability to make jumping and 180 degree interceptions when in coverage over the middle of the field.Out Corner Elite – Combines Out Specialist and Corner Specialist.Playmaker – Grants receivers the ability to immediately and precisely react to playmaker requests.QB Playmaker – Passers with this ability can elicit immediate and precise playmaker reactions from any receiver.Run N Gun – Many passers use a combination mobility and aggressiveness to make big plays.
Although the X-Factor isn’t turned off unless the player is tackled for a loss, it’s arguably not even as powerful as some regular always-on Superstar abilities.Freight Train (X-Factor) – Currently only Cam Newton has this ability, which gives him a better chance of breaking the first tackle (like First One Free).
I’m going to continue to upgrade Route runner and Slot until I get the route technician. or it simply wasn’t useful to me, like when the running back is highlighted coming out of the backfield when I'm looking to push the ball downfield instead.Bazooka (X-Factor) – Cover star Patrick Mahomes has this, and I’m as big a fan of his as anyone, but frankly I don’t know how many situations I’m going to be in where I have to throw an 80-yard bomb. I’m going to continue to upgrade Route runner and Slot until I get the route technician.
Ok. I’ve seen Hollywood Brown in a Madden league with both Route Technician and Grab n Go abilities. He’s at 85 Superstar now but I can roll him to change his badges. If you’re outside of the pocket you can always throw it away instead.Strip Specialist (Superstar) – This makes you immune to broken tackles when going in for the strip. He’s at 85 Superstar now but I can roll him to change his badges. I appreciate it This isn’t super useful since it doesn’t increase the chance of causing an actual fumble.At the time of this writing, there are some X-Factors and Superstar abilities in the game that aren’t utilized by any players yet. Question- how do I upgrade a WR in Madden franchise to unlock the route technician ability?? Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts That being said, the current X-Factors in this department seem limited (see Are They Worth It? I wanted to know how to do this.
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC I’ve seen Hollywood Brown in a Madden league with both Route Technician and Grab n Go abilities.
