Does that mean that offline franchise players won’t have x-factors? I hope it’s for franchise to and not just chel and hut.

I just had a pickle moment, my expectations are now set too high and a lot higher. upon seeing a little video at EA Sports forums. including my rating for next-gen just went up to high and higher.

I kind of hate the X factors in Madden and am not looking forward to how they break NHL.

Again. If your underlying gameplay and ratings worked to begin with you wouldn't have to resort to over the top abilities to make players feel different.

I dunno. It could be fun if it gives another wrinkle to the gameplay other than dangle, cross-crease, one-t

The first year of the X-Factors in Madden they were way overpowered, but it’s better now. It does show player separation, though I could do without them flashing during play.
