Video transcript:

Activating certain offensive XFactor can be game changing and game breaking. And as always, thank you to EA for sponsoring this video and I'm going to be breaking down my top three offensive XFactor you guys have to be using regardless of what mode you're playing in. Madden 24.

Omaha

Omaha is without a doubt the most overpowered XFactor for quarterbacks. It literally lets you see the defense. And even though this video is centered around XFactor, I do want to give you guys some recommended abilities that will ultimately help you activate your XFactor as well. So if you're playing ultimate team or C F M or deciding on a regs team, look out for some of these abilities on your quarterback. The first one is hot rod Master just gives you access to different routes on all of your receivers. Your pass catchers protected gives you better offensive line blocking. Pass lit Elite gives you extra velocity so you can fit that football into tighter windows. Fearless basically negates any type of under pressure, which is honestly really annoying this year from the defensive line. And then the last recommended ability here is gunslinger. It basically gives you quicker throwing animations on deeper throws way down the field.

How to activate X-factors

If you ever want to check how you can actually activate your X-factor, you can hold right trigger down on the right stick to view the offensive X factors up on the right stick to view the defense.

Omaha X-factor Activation

Obviously here we're using Omaha, make consecutive passes for five or more yards in the air. You have to do that four times in a row. And an interesting thing to note about this is you don't actually have to complete a pass every single time. You can get Sack actually and it won't reset your progress towards Omaha. Alright, we're halfway there. Again, the ball has to be in the air so you can't throw a one yard drag pick up five yards.

It doesn't count. The ball has to be five yards in the air at least. Dude, this is a made up injury, it's not real. Go back out there and that's going to do it. Digs with the acrobat new ability on offense this year makes the diving catch. We officially have Omaha active and that's going to help us a lot down here in the red zone. Let's see what they're running on defense. So it looks like they have some sort of match defense, which in this case a lot of slants is going to easily beat this defense. You guys can see right here we should have X breaking across the back of the end zone. Stefon Diggs with the touchdown man. Omaha is easily the most overpowered offensive X-factor. I can see the defense, I can drop a route combo to beat it and it's literally as easy as that.

Ladies and gentlemen. And actually a little pro tip for you guys here. If you want to get your X factor faster, you can actually use abilities like clutch, homer or closer. So if you know you're the home team, you can easily throw this on and then take it off when you know you're going to be playing away. There's indoor baller as well and Madden ultimate team. And basically what this does is again, it takes four passes of five plus yards in a row to activate Omaha. It'll now only be three. Now obviously Omaha is great if you consider yourself a passer. If you like to tote the pill, you like to get down and dirty in those trenches.

Freight train X-factor Activation

Freight train is easily the best X factor to put on your running back. Freight trains are relentless runners who refute. Okay, I'm not going to read that whole paragraph that's a little above my reading level right there, but freight train pretty dang good.

We'll break down the requirements to actually activating it in a second. Let's check out some abilities that might actually help us get there in the first place. Now this is going to vary depending on whether or not you have an elusive back or a power back. But why not human joystick? It gives you sharper change of direction. Quicker cuts tank basically guarantees you break every hit stick. So you're very unlikely to fumble just off using this ability alone. Short and elite is awesome for sending your running back on routes like Texas routes for example, out of the backfield, it's going to give them much improved route running, especially against man coverage. And then bruiser for my last ability, which again is really ideal for a bruising back like Derrick Henry. We can also go with evasive if we're using somebody like Christian McCaffrey who's kind of known for his Dukes instead.

Now this X factor in my opinion, is a bit more difficult to activate. You have to rush for more than 10 yards, three separate times, although it's going to be a lot easier than last year just because the run blocking is I say that and then the run blocking was terrible there. Alright, this might take me a little while to actually activate. Also, make sure you're actually switching up your run calls. Don't just call the same run over and over again even if it does work because they actually introduced adaptive AI this year, which helps the defense react the same play calls over and over again. Alright, we officially have 'em activated and what better way to test this out with a little under center I form stretch call. He's glowing orange, make a business decision and just get out of Derrick Henry's way, man, it guarantees he breaks the first contact every single time.

And then just for good measure, let's go ahead punch this rock right in the end zone. I'm looking for contact. Come here Derrick Henry touchdown freight train is so good if you can actually activate it.

Double Me X-factor activation

And last but certainly not least double me, basically just guarantees you win one-on-one aggressive catches deep down the field. Now let's go ahead and give Jefferson some abilities that are once again going to help him activate that double me X factor wide receiver apprentice gives him access to four additional hot routes regardless of where he is lined up. Pre-snap route technician, absolutely fries, man coverage, it just gives you much crispier routes. Now I mentioned this earlier, but Acrobat is actually brand new on offense this year. Who doesn't want to see some diving catches? Are you kidding me? This is awesome. And the last ability is red zone threat. If your opponent runs one-on-one coverage inside the 20, literally just chuck it to Justin Jefferson and he's coming down with it almost every single time. Now, to activate our double meet, we only have to make two or more catches of 20 plus yards, which I make it sound easy. It's really not that simple.

Oh, that's a great start. Justin Jefferson, 38 yards. Justin Jefferson Deep Corner out and I mean our first two pass attempts we activate double only right off the bat, but think I'm going to save it for next drive. Alright, he's glowing orange out there. We're going to isolate him. Deep streak down the left side of the field. I'm going to lob it up. He might've just ran by him actually. He regains a step, we jump over him and then Gravity just does its part to pull me down. That was almost disgusting. I make the one-on-one aggressive catch nuts on forehead. I jump over the other safety to avoid the tackle and he clips the bottom of our cleat. That would've been a crazy touchdown. Let's just give him the rock here one more time. Just seal it. Justin. Jefferson, gritty on it. Gritty, gritty. Let me stop, bro. I'm a grown man. I'm a grown man. But no, no, seriously please. Gritty. I really want to see you do it. But those are my top three XFactor in Madden 24. And let me know in the comments below what your guys' favorite abilities and XFactor are. Maybe I forgot some. Hopefully this helped though. And with that being said, I'll see you guys. Next video man. Appreciate y'all for watching. Peace.
