For the best players in Madden 24, these are the best X-Factor skills to have.
In Madden 24, players are very important, just like in the real NFL. Any team can improve with a good quarterback, but there are a few who change the game in ways that have never been seen before.
In Madden 24, only five quarterbacks have X-Factor powers. These are extra benefits that the quarterback gets based on how well they play during the game. We look at what each of the three X-Factors does in the game and how each player uses them to get ahead on offense.
Truzz
A lot of NFL quarterbacks either try to throw the ball downfield or even force it in high defense. Other quarterbacks choose to throw it out of bounds. Some players might even choose to take a sack rather than try to throw the ball. Few quarterbacks, though, are able to get out of the pocket and make yards with their legs.
Most quarterbacks don’t have the same ball-carrying skills as other ball handlers. So they often lose the ball when they get hit. With this X-Factor skill, quarterbacks can’t lose the ball while being tackled. This lets them improve their game and become two-way threats on the field.
Lamar Jackson
Ravens running back Lamar Jackson (91), who has the Truzz X-Factor, is the only one who can use his legs to hurt defenders. Jackson is the fastest quarterback (96), the fastest receiver (96), and the most agile (95). If the pocket collapses or he sees that none of his targets are open. He’ll just tuck the ball in and run for yards.
Jackson turns into one of the most dangerous players in the league when Truzz is used. He has great vision (97) and can spin and juke players with his quick feet (83) and 90. Nobody else can take over a game with their arm and legs like Jackson can. He doesn’t have to worry about losing the ball.
Run & Gun
When the defense wins the fight at the line of scrimmage and puts pressure on the quarterback. The quarterback has to scramble away from the pocket. Moving to the outside makes the play last longer and gives players downfield more chances to get open. This is great for quarterbacks who are good at run and gun.
When a quarterback throws on the run, their aim will naturally go down because their feet aren’t se. And throwing a football while off-balance will naturally lead to a bad throw. If a quarterback has Run & Gun, they can throw perfectly while moving. Which lets them look for open targets when the pocket collapses.
Joe Burrow And Jalen Hurts
There are players like Lamar Jackson who can really move around in the pocket. But most of them will still try to throw the ball instead of running right away. Jalen Hurts (88) and Joe Burrow (95) are two of the best young quarterbacks in the league. They both made it to the Super Bowl in the last two years.
It’s important for defenders to always be aware of Joe Burrow (95) and Jalen Hurts (88), who are both dual threats. They can scramble well, but not as well as Jackson. These two players use their legs to make plays last longer, which gives receivers like A.J. Brown and Ja’Marr Chase more time to find a hole in the defense.
Not only are Burrow and Hurts not the best players at throwing on the run. But Burrow is also the most accurate passer in the game and Hurts is the second-fastest. Run & Gun does nothing but improve Cincinnati’s quarterback’s best skill, making him one of the best in Wordle Unlimited. Hurts, on the other hand, can use this X-Factor to make defenders think he’ll run with the ball instead of high-ball it downfield.
Bazooka
In the end, most people talk about passers with big arms. There is no way these passers couldn’t be able to connect with their receivers. Even if it meant going through a tiny opening.
Being able to throw the ball far doesn’t guarantee that a quarterback will be great, but it does help. Because the Bazooka X-Factor skill makes quarterbacks better at throwing the ball farther, they have no trouble throwing it downfield. It’s only given to the best arms in Madden 24. Patrick Mahomes (99) and Josh Allen (94) are those arms.
Patrick Mahomes And Josh Allen
In general, Mahomes is the best quarterback in the game, but Allen is stronger (80) and has better throw power (99). Mahomes, who has won two Super Bowls, and Allen, who is on the face of Madden 24, are two of the best passers in the game.
The Bills quarterback is proud of being able to throw a ball more than 80 yards. And Mahomes uses his 97-pound throwing weight to make wild, off-balance throws. The power of the Bazooka throws also helps these players get the ball to receivers faster. This special skill changes many parts of the passing game. Which is why it’s the best one for quarterbacks to have in Madden 24.
