True Madden fans know that while official player ratings get the marketing hype, Superstar and X-Factor abilities are the real measure of how effective players will be in the game.
In Madden 24 there are 50 X-Factor players. These are the best of the best in the NFL. There are 27 on offense and 23 on defense.
Superstar players are also incredibly important and just one tier below X-Factors. This year there are 66 total Superstar players.
This list reflects the abilities in regular head to head mode. In Franchise mode and Ultimate Team you have a lot more flexibility to equip the abilities you want on your favorite players.
Every NFL team except the Houston Texans has at least 1 player with a Superstar ability. Other teams like the Philadelphia Eagles have been blessed with 9 Superstar players.
Some abilities are incredibly effective while others make no noticeable impact on the game.
If you’re interested, you can view our Madden 24 abilities tier list (subject to change throughout the year) where we go through what each Superstar and X-Factor ability does. Or, check out the full Madden 24 player ratings over on EA’s website.
