A question regarding AKA LTDs and their X-Factors that might sound silly...

Seems like LTDs get both AKA and Unstoppable X-Factors. The question is, which one would be better: the one's that start on and then turn off for a few plays (AKA) or the ones that stay on after a requirement is met (Unstoppable)? I guess it depends on how difficult the Unstoppable X-Factor's requirement is to achieve?

i think unstoppable might be better but if you want one that is easy to get i think aka

In my experience, on/off worked better. Some of the unstoppable were hard to activate and it might take the whole game to  Activate.

plus a free ability is always nice. Not to mention, most other X factors are super hard to activate.

Calvin’s is 3 20+ yard receptions for unstoppable. Seems doable

I like AKA.

I like them on to start the game cause you could at least play with them when activated where as unstoppable takes like a good game to complete.

I prefer Unstoppable as you still have to activate it yourself.  

I feel like Start On Xfactors are semi cheating still

Like you said it definitely depends on what the activation requirements for the unstoppable xfactor are. The baseline for aka crews xfactors seems to be 5 plays on 5 plays off. So you're essentially guaranteed to have the aka x-factor for half the game. In my mind, this means to get similar benefits from the unstoppable xfactor you need to be able to activate it in the first half or early 3rd quarter to get a similar number of plays.

For a hypothetical dline LTD, the x-factor would most likely involve multiple sacks which can be tough to achieve against a good opponent. So I would definitely go with the aka x-factor in that situation.

But someone like Megatron is less clear. There's definitely players who could get Megatron's unstoppable requirements early enough for it to be worth it. But there's also players who would struggle and would be much better off with the aka.

I think DB is a position I would likely to prefer unstoppable. At least with Moss, even though it says incomplete passes it consistently activates if he gets a pick which isn't that hard to do if my opponent tries to throw at the guy moss is covering.

Personally, I would go with the aka xfactor for hypothetical LTDs because I know it will activate in the game. I want to reiterate I don't think unstoppable is a bad choice. It's better thank aka if you can reliably activate it most games. I just know with my scheme/skill level I wouldn't activate most of them often enough for it to be worth it.

AKA's are better because they stay on for X amount of plays no matter what. The other X Factors are usually difficult (or harder) to activate and once you activate them, give up one chunk play and now they're gone.

I’d go aka X factor because unstoppable are pretty hard to activate

I like this analysis a ton, nice job summing everything up

Depends if the player is offensive or defensive for I would take unstoppable for defense and aka for offense

But what if the requirement was multiple sacks or TFLs? Or just 3 20+ yard catches (like for Megatron, which is easy for him)?

I think x-factors are stupid. Most of the time when they activate u dominatin anyways.
