Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Madden 23, trying to figure out the absolute best QB X-Factor to use. It’s been a grind, honestly, lots of trial and error, but I think I’ve finally landed on a few that are seriously OP.
First off, I started by just looking at all the X-Factors available for QBs. There’s a bunch, right? Some are about accuracy, some are about throwing power, and others are about avoiding sacks. I knew I wanted something that would give me a noticeable edge, not just some minor stat boost.
I spent a few days just playing games, testing out different X-Factors. I’d pick a QB, activate his X-Factor, and then just try to see how it impacted my gameplay. I kept notes on what worked, what didn’t, and what situations each X-Factor seemed to excel in.
One of the first ones I tried was “Bazooka.” The increased throwing distance seemed awesome on paper, but in practice, I found myself overthrowing receivers more often than not. Plus, it only activates in the pocket, which isn’t always where I want to be.
Then I moved on to “Fearless.” This one seemed promising – immune to pressure while throwing. But honestly, I didn’t notice a huge difference. Maybe I just wasn’t getting pressured enough, or maybe the effect wasn’t as strong as I hoped.
Eventually, I stumbled upon “Gunslinger.” This one changed everything. The faster release is insane. I could get the ball out so much quicker, avoiding sacks and hitting receivers in tight windows. The difference was night and day.
But “Gunslinger” wasn’t the only winner. I also found “Truzz” to be surprisingly effective. The ability to break sacks and maintain accuracy while throwing on the run is clutch. It turns your QB into a real playmaker.
So, after all that testing, here’s my verdict:
- Gunslinger: For pure passing power and quick releases, this is the one to go for. It’s a game-changer.
- Truzz: If you like to scramble or your QB is mobile, “Truzz” is a must-have. It’ll save you from sacks and keep your throws accurate on the run.
Of course, it all depends on your play style and the QB you’re using. But for me, these two X-Factors have made a huge difference in my Madden 23 experience. I’d recommend trying them out and seeing if they work for you too!
Now, I’m gonna go back to the game and try to unlock these X-Factors for all my franchise QBs. Wish me luck!
