By way of instance, the Gambler X-Factor capability --which only Aaron Rodgers has--makes it impossible for AI defenders to intercept his moves. Likewise strong X-Factor abilities are available for defenders as well, which helps balance out things. Additionally, but X-Factor skills can be dropped quickly; a QB who chooses a sofa is instantly from this zone, while dropped passes and fumbles also cancel out these skills.

These skills, when combined with an elite player such as Madden 20 cover star Patrick Mahomes (who has amazing baseline stats to begin with), become too powerful in some instances. Mahomes' exceptional passive Superstar skills give him immense speed and dexterity from the pocket, on top of his already powerful and accurate arm. When teammate Travis Kelce unlocks his very own X-Factor skill (which provides him a guaranteed competitive grab on any single-man policy ), it's just too simple to complete big plays down the field.

Outside of that issue, the newest X-Factor and Superstar skills introduce a level of strategy that the Madden series has never seen. I found myself frequently weighing up if I should pursue the X-Factor eligibility conditions or pick lower-risk plays which are more likely to be successful. At pivotal stages, such as in the fourth quarter or within a third-and-long scenario, this level of risk/reward is heightened. Not only that, but with 50 X-Factor skills spread across gamers around the 32 NFL teams, it encourages you to try new teams and strategies.

Significantly, X-Factor skills do not feel gimmicky or overly overpowerful for the most part since they're difficult to unlock and have numerous counters. Stephon Gilmore of the New England Patriots, as an example, comes with an X-Factor ability named Acrobat that allows him to execute a diving move at which he makes an unbelievable pass breakup. Some pass-rushers, too, including Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams, may shred the shield and divide the O-Line easily to sack the quarterback to get a major loss.
