Superstar X-Factor helps represent two groups of special players.
Goal is to properly represent star players.
50 Star players.
Zone abilities can be earned in-game.
Superstar abilities always available.
'Bazooka' (Zone Ability) = Mahomes throwing ability. EX: Complete certain number of long passes to increase throw power; still within his real life limit.
'Rack Em Up' (Zone for RAC receiver) = Make certain number of catches & yards.
'First One Free' (RB Zone Ability) = Can increase success of juke, hesi, etc. move success after reaching in-game goal.
'Fearmonger' (Pass Rusher Ability)
'Escape Artist' (Scramble ability on mobile QB)
Counters and drawback for each ability. (EX: Drained stamina, higher risk of fumbling.)
'Fastbreak' (Running version of Escape Artist) = Immediate running control; delayed read and react time of defense.
'Slot-o-matic' (Slot ability) = Elite cuts when running routes, great at getting contested passes on short routes; only when WR in slot.
Used across all game modes. Will be a progression aspect within Franchise.
'Enforcer' (Defensive ability)
Patrick Mahomes abilities shown and counters discussed: Bazooka, Dashing Deadeye, Red Zone Deadeye, Escape Artist, No-Look Deadeye (currently exclusive to Mahomes).
