    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).
    Passing Accuracy in-game re-worked.

    Joined by Designer Greg Heddlesten to talk player authenticity.
    Showing mo-cap of Mahomes to capture his signature passes and passing style.
    Showing mo-cap of players to record Aaron Rodgers passes and style, including on the run throws.
    Showing Drew Brees animations in-game, including licking fingers.
    Team has been looking at player's celebrations to add into the game.
    Big Ben, Brady, Rivers, etc among half-dozen or so QBs with signature passing animations/styles.

    Developer blog on Superstar X-Factors and gameplay is now available.

    Survey on stream and what you want to see in the future.
