Madden 23: New Superstar And X-Factor Abilities
EA Sports is including some new Superstar and X-Factor abilities in Madden 23 as well as making some changes to existing abilities.
New Superstar and X-Factor abilities
Dots (QB X-Factor Ability): Accurate passers know that ball placement is the difference between a touchdown and a turnover. When they enter the zone, all passes are thrown with perfect accuracy.
Low Point Deadeye (QB Superstar Ability): Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on any low point throws under 20 yards.
High Point Deadeye (QB Superstar Ability): Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on high point throws under 20 yards.
Persistent (General Superstar Ability): Players with this ability are harder to knock out of The Zone.
Inside Shade (CB Superstar Ability): Defenders with this ability generally react much faster to receiver cut moves when in man coverage and inside the numbers.
Outside Shade (CB Superstar Ability): Defenders with this ability generally react much faster to receiver cut moves when in man coverage and outside the numbers.
More Superstar and X-Factor abilities may be added or tweaked before Madden 23 is officially released in August.
