    Can I choose X factor abilities in CFM?

    Can you pick and choose which abilities your players get in CFM? If you play as a coach or owner? I’ve been looking forward to doing a Cardinals CFM with Kyler Murray. But I’ve realized that the QB scrambling is god awful UNLESS your QB has the ability that gives them a speed boost behind the line of scrimmage. The ability is a super star ability called “Escape Artist”

    Before I unlocked this ability with my Scrambler QB in QB1 I was getting chased down by DT’s with ease. But after I got it I could consistently shoot off like a rocket for 20 yards like it was nothing. It’s really pretty freaking lame that there’s no middle ground whatsoever.

    So can I progress Murray in CFM so that he gets this ability? Or is it random? Or what? Can I get around this by editing Murray prior to starting my CFM and just give him that ability? Or is that not possible? Thanks for any help.

    Xfactor is linked to archetype and you can change that if you reroll a player. Abilities are linked to archetype and attributes and these can change too, but you have to edit players if you want specific ones to appear.

      Unfortunately fastbreak ability unlocks at 90 and escape artists unlocks at 95 overall. I get it’s and amazing ability but great runners are great runner and shouldn’t have to wait until you hit 95 overall to get the best run abilities. In fact Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson and Deshawn Watson all have this abilities without being a 95 overall. But if you edit and reroll these guys you’ll never get them back until 95 overall again . Don’t make sense at all? I could even see it’s was your second ability cool then but not the last one .

        Yup, i mentioned this yesterday, the rerolling of abilities stays consistent and not in a good way. For now, there is no way to get any of the actual helpful scrambling abilities on a reroll until 90-95. I really dont know how the devs never realized the system in place would never allow the #1 pick to get helpful abilities to his style.

        I also think its funny how he isnt superstar dev which would let the devs put the actual abilities he should have but players like ed oliver and devin white are superstar... The #1 pick not only doesnt get the trait but now he cant get abilities to make him fun to play with. WTF

          We have to point this out because edit abilities is there it’s just a logic when they can be release. So I’m assuming they could do a easy patch. Well I hope this happen soo we can edit this later!

            It would be so awesome if we could. We SHOULD be able to this. 2K at least let you assign Badges. I dont why they made it restrictive in that way. There is probably a reason, i just cant think of why. Madden has slowly been embracing giving us full control to edit the CFM the way we want, be we need WAY more control.

              If abilities is the big CFM feature this year give us more control over this . I don’t wanna wait for my scrambling qb to get escape artist or if someone just wants a different X factor.

                I don't play other modes so this may be off base but are these 'powers' for sale in the online modes?

                  I wish they gave us more control of these abilities. I wanted to give certain players abilities I felt they deserved. Would have been cool to see the unique players that could have been created in the draft

                    They should create something like a slider for each “badge” and allow users to customize at what threshold they would kick in. This way if someone doesn’t like how it works currently, they at least have the ability to change it and not effect someone else’s franchise that might like the current setup. Customization allows people to cater to their own taste.

                        Just spreading the word on abilities. Using current rosters in Cfm lowers the OVR threshold for abilities a lot vs custom rosters. It's wayyyyy better for young players and regressing veterans. Heads up!

                          Xfactors are busted .. not working properly. Not activating properly. Not showing up on rookies after playing time

                          A joke of a feature ... again

                            Dude you really need to cool it man. This entire week every thread you have participated in or any post you have created has been nothing but negativity without contributing anything. What's your end game here?

                            I've had the game since July 25th and X factors are working fine and 100% as intended. Now your just spreading misinformation to stir up controversy. It's getting a little ridiculous

                              Maybe in your experience, but you are completely false. Just look at there other threads, there are issues with X-factors and not just from me. Some being over powered some not displaying the "Fog of war" as advertised.

                              And also look at every thread I have posted, its not "negativity" for negativity sake. Its calling out issues with this game where I see them. It's actual truth.

                              What would you like me to contribute? What do you consider "contribution"?? All nice things to say? I don't placate a billion dollar company for putting out games that aren't ready and full of bugs.
