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. In the future, if you see a player with one of these abilities, you should give them serious consideration because these sound valuable. 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. 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). His love for competitive gaming started with Counter Strike and Call of Duty. Once you do get used to it, it will be quiet hard for your opponents to guess your moves.The playbook also has a 4-4, nickel 3-3-5, and nickel normal providing you with a lot of versatility.Let say you have a team with a small defense and a 4-3 base. Among the X-Factors, if I had to choose, it would would be Zone Hawk, which increases the rate of knockouts and INTs. The playbook also contains a lot of versatility options that you can use, and many shotgun formations as well.If you are going for a more balanced playbook, then you can go with the Oakland Riders.

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. Both X-Factors and Superstar abilities can be very useful, but some are definitely handier than others. When they enter the zone; this ability increases their win rate and block shed speed against one-on-one run blocks.Secure Protector – When pass blocking, provides more time in the pocket when engaged by not allowing quick pass-rush blocksheds, unless defender has Edge Rush Elite.Secure Tackler – Prevents auto-broken tackles vs. ball carriers when using the conservative or dive tackle mechanics.Wrecking Ball – Wrecking Ball runners don't avoid contact. If you want to turn off the Madden 20 auto subs feature to keep your players in the game, you'll need to understand how the sliders work.

This playbook also has a lot of shotgun formations with not a lot of single back.
