I started a few days ago, no slider edits, and I have had great games and better gameplay to this point.

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
I’ve considered trying this, but I do like the change and challenge of playing a team with X-factors.
Case in point, I recently played the Bears and really felt the pressure of taking on that defense. Then I played the Chiefs and there porous defense and could pretty much do as I wanted. Do you get that experience playing a team like Chicago with the X-factors turned off?

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
I haven’t played a team as tough defensively as the bears... playing as the patriots and so far I’ve played the Steelers, dolphins, and jets..
Against the steelers I definitely felt Shazier’s presence throughout the game.
Ended up taking 2 sacks that game, both from him.. I managed to sack Ben 3 times
Even with the X factor off Gilmore was still lockdown in all 3 with 2 picks
Chung has 2 as well
McCourty has 1
I’ve thrown 2 picks with brady so farComment

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
I tried them on , but certain abilities ( particularly enforcer ) seemed too overpowered when playing 15min quarters.
Turned them off and am getting nice results on all pro with slidersArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon .... No matter how good you are , the bird is going to **** on the board and strut around like it won anyway .Comment

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
I like the idea in theory, the way it gives teams identity and forces your hand toward some honest game-planning, but yeah I turned them off and I don’t miss it it all.
And if we’re being honest about it, it’s a cheat/crutch at best (being told with bright flashy lights who to look out for) and a gimmick at worst - no reason a guy with 90 hit power and 94 block shed or whatever shouldn’t just be dangerous and impactful to begin with, without the flashy lights and “in the zone” stuff.

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
After playing several games both ways in CFM, I decided to play with them off. Other than the horrific CPU decision-making at the end of close games when they are behind, the gameplay is the best I've ever experienced. The sliders I am using certainly bring out the shine on the star players. I also love the clean screen.
Glad they made this optional so folks can choose what's best for them.Comment

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
So I played with XFactor on and it wouldn't let me take the player out of the game. I was trying to rotate Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt but it wouldn't let me take out Hunt. I had formation subs set so they would play in different formation but every play I had hunt in. Then when I was winning by 35 points in the 4th quarter i took out my starters. Hunt still played though. Is that just a feature of XFactor? if it is i won't be playing with it.Comment

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
How do x factor abilities turn off? Is it in settings. Because I just noticed only my abilities are turned off and not the CPU. But i think the superstar abilities are still on.

Re: X-factors and superstar abilities off
pre 20 and xfactors i always ran away from good defenders, put fb at hb in protection/slid protection to their side, threw vs weaker cbs or deeper if safeties were bad. at least i chose the plays aimed at doing that/subbed in formations to help that, i play offline coach mode. now its the same in 20 but worse if i dontComment
