Madden NFL 24 is here, bringing new features and an updated roster for this year’s football sim. Now a series staple, this new entry means an updated list of X-Factor and Superstar players. These special skills are broken into two separate categories. X-Factors are the more powerful of the two, with each player having a special ability that can be activated during a game based on performance. Superstar abilities on the other hand are passive bonuses that can greatly improve a player’s chance of success in specific situations.
Players aren’t limited to a single ability, nor just an X-Factor or Superstar designation. X-Factor players always have Superstar abilities as well, as they’re a prerequisite to earning X-Factor skills. Below you will find full lists of both X-Factor and Superstar players, along with more information about their specific abilities.
