343iBot Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 In Madden 23, X-Factors and Superstars are back for a fourth season. Since the X-Factor and Superstar systems were introduced in Madden 20, the community has thoroughly enjoyed getting to take advantage of new abilities for their favorite star players. Whether it's a quarterback who can see blitzers coming before a play even starts or a running back who has the ability to nearly break the ankles of a defender, these abilities come into play in any game of Madden. In Madden 23, the systems are back in place, but a whole new crop of players are in line for these special abilities.Of course, some familiar faces appear on both the X-Factor and Superstar lists, respectively. For any newcomers to the franchise, an X-Factor is a player that has a specific ability that can be activated during a game while Superstars are given different passive skills to boost their overall stats. Both are valuable additions to any roster, and can make the difference between winning and losing a game. While Madden 23 hasn't been released yet, we know the full X-Factor and Superstar lists thanks to the PlayStation 5 beta that occurred earlier this summer. Below, fans can see the full lists of every X-Factor player and their ability along with all Superstars that we know of so far.Madden 23 X-FactorsThe list of X-Factors in Madden 23 is currently based on what was visible in the beta, so things may change on this front once Madden 23 is fully released on August 19. It's also worth mentioning that the Escape Artist ability is now for X-Factors and not Superstars, meeting a player demand to nerf the once overpowered ability. This is important to remember for a team with a mobile quarterback, such as Arizona or Baltimore.TeamPlayerPositionAbilityAbility DescriptionBillsStefon DiggsWRRac 'Em UpHigher chance of winning a RAC catch vs. single coverageBillsTre'Davious WhiteCBShutdownGets tighter in coverage + has a higher chance of securing an INT on contested ballsBillsVon MillerDEFearmongerHigher chance of pressuring the QB while getting blockedBillsJosh AllenQBBazookaMaximum throw distance is increasedBroncosRussell WilsonQBBlitz RadarAble to identify blitzers at the line of scrimmageBrownsNick ChubbQBWrecking BallCan pull off trucks and stiff arms with greater successBrownsMyles GarrettDEUnstoppable ForceWinning a pass rush engagement yields a quicker block shedBuccaneersTom BradyQBPro ReadsHighlights the first open receiver and negates pressureBuccaneersMike EvansWRDouble MeHigher chance of winning aggressive catches vs. single coverageBuccaneersLavonte DavidMLBRun StufferCan block shed more effectively against rushing playsCardinalsKyler MurrayQBEscape ArtistEvades pressure more effectively by increasing sprint speed while out of the pocketCardinalsDeAndre HopkinsWRDouble MeHigher chance of winning aggressive catches vs. single coverageChargersKeenan AllenWRMax SecurityHigher chance of winning possession catchesChargersKhalil MackOLBUnstoppable ForceWinning a pass rush engagement yields a quicker block shedChargersJoey BosaOLBUnstoppable ForceWinning a pass rush engagement yields a quicker block shedChargersDerwin James Jr.SSReinforcementIncreased chance of causing a pass break-up and performing run blocksChiefsPatrick MahomesQBBazookaMaximum throw distance is increasedChiefsTravis KelceTEDouble MeHigher chance of winning aggressive catches vs. single coverageChiefsChris JonesDTMomentum ShiftThe player wipes all zone progress away from on-field opponents or knocks them out of the zoneColtsDeForest BucknerDTUnstoppable ForceWinning a pass rush engagement yields a quicker block shedColtsJonathan TaylorHBFreight TrainHigher chance to break the player's next available tackleColtsStephon GilmoreCBShutdownGets tighter in coverage + has a higher chance of securing an INT on contested ballsCommandersTerry McLaurinWRAnkle BreakerHigher chance to dodge an opponent's tackle when performing a skill move after the catchCowboysDak PrescottQBBlitz RadarAble to identify blitzers at the line of scrimmageCowboysMicah ParsonsOLBUnstoppable ForceWinning a pass rush engagement yields a quicker block shedDolphinsTyreek HillWRRac 'Em UpHigher chance of winning a RAC catch vs. single coverage49ersGeorge KittleTEYac 'Em UpHigher chance to break the first after-catch tackle49ersFred WarnerMLBZone HawkHigher chance to make an INT in zone coverage49ersNick BosaDERelentlessPass rush skill moves don't require pointsPackersAaron RodgersQBDotsAllows for a perfect pass on any throwPackersJaire AlexanderCBShutdownGets tighter in coverage + has a higher chance of securing an INT on contested ballsPanthersChristian McCaffreyHBAnkle BreakerHigher chance to dodge an opponent's tackle when performing a skill move after the catchRaidersDavante AdamsWRDouble MeHigher chance of winning aggressive catches vs. single coverageRaidersDarren WallerTEYac 'Em UpHigher chance to break the first after-catch tackleRaidersChandler JonesOLBFearmongerHigher chance of pressuring the QB while getting blockedRamsCooper KuppWRRac 'Em UpHigher chance of winning a RAC catch vs. single coverageRamsAaron DonaldDEBlitzBlockers have their resistance bars wiped awayRamsJalen RamseyCBBottleneckHigher chance at winning press attempts in man coverageRamsBobby WagnerMLBAvalancheHit-sticks while running downhill cause forced fumblesRavensLamar JacksonQBTruzzTackling doesn't cause a fumbleSaintsAlvin KamaraHBSatelliteHigher chance to win RAC possession catches vs. coverageSaintsCameron JordanDEUnstoppable ForceWinning a pass rush engagement yields a quicker block shedSaintsTyrann MathieuSSReinforcementIncreased chance of causing a pass break-up and performing run blocksSeahawksD.K.
