They do not want people "tarnishing the image" of the NFL by making ridiculous jerseys etc. With the exclusive rights obviously anything the NFL wants, EA will abide by Lol, how ridiculous. I really wish somebody would develop an incredible football game that would allow for all sorts of customization so that you could just download somebody's created NFL. The NFL doesn't have an exclusive license on football. I would buy two copies of that just to spite EA. In your franchise would you cut "Kicker #2" on the Packers?

You can only do it between plays, and the clock is ticking. It takes a whole quarter or more to set the formations the way I want them. This is during an exhibition game. Yeah, you can do it outside the game again. It was ridiculous when you couldn't. Friendly reminder to buy the game used, everybody! Some will inevitably buy it new, but your voice can be heard if your money doesn't go directly to EA!! (I'm not the activist type but I feel very strongly about this haha) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me: 🙄 99 Strength – Best in Madden 20 99 Power Moves – Best in Madden 20 98 Pursuit – Best in Madden 20 97 Block Shedding – Second-best in Madden 20 96 Finesse Moves – Second-best in Madden 20 With the combination of Donald’s 99 OVR and his suite of Superstar X-Factor abilities, you can imagine how much of a dominant force he will be in Madden NFL 20. When his Fearmonger Zone ability is activated, he will be able to apply pressure on opposing QBs even while engaged with blockers. When a 280-pound man can move like this, it’s going to be a problem for anyone trying to stop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I just want to be clear in case I wasn’t, my eye roll wasn’t directed at Donald for being a 99 ovr. It was that they’re going to spend an entire week to announce 4 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy and paste from EA's site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...... so much for a revamped rating system. I love Wagner as much as the next non-Seahawks fan, but I was hoping 99 would be saved for generational talents. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I mean, Bobby Wagner is the best linebacker in football. But he shouldn't be a 99 overall. Probably a 97 overall would be better for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Here's a breakdown of the x-factor abilities. How you get into the zone (if you have this trait) and how to knock someone out of the zone. The site says there will be 50 players in the entire game who have x-factor abilities, so it sounds pretty limited. These things are strong as hell. This might end up being a massive game play change. https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/madden-nfl-20/superstar-x-factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggio7 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm really curious as to how these are determined throughout a franchise. Can a player have unlimited amounts of these or do they only get one? Also, what about in-coming drafts? Will those players you draft have these abilities already? Will you be able to scout and find out that information or would it just be luck of the draw?

I only play this game for franchise mode, so they need to share all the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI-controlled defenders cannot intercept passes when in the zone. Trigger Conditions: Three Consecutive Completed Passes for 5+ Yards In Air (Requires Five in Competitive) Knockout Conditions: Two Incomplete Passes or any Sack, Fumble, or INT That may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

I believe every player has 2 functional abilities but a player with the Superstar/X Factor dev trait can get a third ability that can be triggered to make them seemingly unstoppable. Though it seems like it will be tough to trigger some of the X Factor abilities. (Antonio Brown’s ability requires him to get 2-3 40+ yard receptions with no drops, Alvin Kamara’s ability is similar) Quick dev is gone Normal - Star - Superstar - Superstar/X Factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Rodgers is broken. I don't think it's bad. All it takes is two incomplete passes and he's already out of the zone. That seems balanced to me. And if you are playing online, you need to complete 5 passes with a min. of 5 yards in the air (so you can't just dump it off). Out of all the abilities, this seems like the furthest one from being OP. Plus, Rodgers IRL doesn't throw a lot of interceptions so it fits. Plus, its only AI defenders. So it seems like it would only be OP, if it is, against AI teams. Any user team is probably switching to the closest defender in coverage so you will still be able to pick him off. Cam Newton's seems like it would be more annoying than that. It takes 5 runs of 10+ yards to trigger in competitive but once you do, he is guaranteed to break the first tackle on every run after that. Pretty annoying ability for a QB to have, which is why I will be using him. Edited July 11, 2019 by iknowcool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
