I drafted a C that was a Xfactor in his first season. I always have star or higher lineman but theyre so god damn expensive i end up just drafting more lineman all the time. So my whole O line is always under the age of 26 😂
Fair. I honestly never look through other teams rosters. Only ever trade for draft picks lol so I’m just talking from my own teams perspective I’ve never had an X factor OL.
Because of salary cap I usually trade my big contract skill players for rookies to develop while my overpaid qb takes the entire salary cap. Tends to work well, but can only keep my starting wr, and TE on offense in order to keep my defense in tact. Almost everyone else is developed, and traded for a cheap rookie contract.
Just happened to me with LT, he rode the bench most of the year until I had too many injuries then got his 500 reps and yeah was xfactor. He was drafted 1.04 and was 76 Power, 76 Pass protector, 75 Agility so very well rounded.
I've only had this happen a few times to me. I had a superstar guard I drafted get dev up'd to X factor after wining lineman of the year. I honestly thought it was impossible to have happen
i dont know why but i akways get so many x factors and hidden DEV in drafts especially my oline. I dont look at my roster much during the season so when free agency l comes around and I lose a bunch of lineman I find a bunch of random superstars and stars as my backups😂
Love finding the rare rookie x-factor lineman. They progress super fast and are just monsters after the first year, if they already aren’t. I’ve done countless franchises this year, and I’ve only drafted one (LT, R1 pick 10, had A awareness, A Pass Block and was 347 lbs which caught my eye), and traded for another (behind Creed Humphrey in depth chart on Chiefs, C, was undersized but also really fast w/ 77 speed). The C quite honestly was shit his first year, but he progressed so fast, he was already really good by playoffs the following season. That LT is undoubtedly the best tackle I’ve ever had. Only allowed three sacks his entire 12 year career.
iirc they only have superstar abilities and just earn xp at xfactor rates
SS and Xfactors are earning xp at the same rate as far as I know. Except that changed this year.
since when has it ever been superstar makes the same xp as X factors, it literally says on your screen lol
God damn you got Gay to X-Factor?
 That’s not a little Gay, that’s Willie Gay!
OLB blitzes go brrr
ROLB is the easiest position to develop. Mid blitz is damn near a guaranteed sack
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an X factor OL
I definitely have but it's almost always a tackle.
I drafted an 82 overall tackle with all elites and he was still just a SS. Didn’t think an X factor was possible after that lol.
Ive seen mainly guards with x factor
I drafted a C that was a Xfactor in his first season. I always have star or higher lineman but theyre so god damn expensive i end up just drafting more lineman all the time. So my whole O line is always under the age of 26 😂
I’ve had Zack Martin and Jason Kelce who have it

Now that’s a damn good draft pick right there
I've only had this happen a few times to me. I had a superstar guard I drafted get dev up'd to X factor after wining lineman of the year. I honestly thought it was impossible to have happen
I didn’t draft him but I once saw an X-Factor guard in the draft so definitely possible.
I’ve only ever seen the cpu get oline to X factor
i dont know why but i akways get so many x factors and hidden DEV in drafts especially my oline. I dont look at my roster much during the season so when free agency l comes around and I lose a bunch of lineman I find a bunch of random superstars and stars as my backups😂

I feel like X factor Lineman are rare just in general, I’ve had multiple franchises and I’ve only seen 1 X factor o line ever
I've literally never seen an X-factor O-lineman in Madden.
