I’ve seen a bunch of people on YouTube and discord talking about running backs and defensive linemen getting X factors that start on? Which cards do so and which are the best? Do any work for the whole game
Warren Sapp DT SB 95 - needs a SB past light it up token from SB field pass | Unstoppable Force 1AP - Activated all game (my current DT1)
Madabeast LE 94 AKA Crews (can get for free from 94 token field pass set, must be level 54 to have all 4 tokens) AKA Crews | Unstoppable Force 0AP - Starts on, Activated 5 plays on, 5 plays off all game (My current DT2 with inside stuff)
Minister or Defence LE 95 AKA Crews | Unstoppable Force 0AP - Starts on, Activated 5 plays on, 5 plays off all game
Mr Monday Night 94 ROLB AKA Crews | Dual Threast 0AP - Starts on, Activated 5 plays on, 5 plays off all game, put him at rush LE/RE in specialist tab, he’s great at pass rush and zone coverage
George Karlaftis LE SB 96 - needs a SB present light it up token from SB field pass | Unstoppable Force 1AP - Activated all game OR Colossus 0AP - Activated all game (better choice also my current LE)
Dexter Lawrence DT Genki 97 - need to buy 3 96 over all Genki cards to unlock unstoppable force 3 to have it all game (not worth it)
Aaron Donald Terminator AKA 92 - Unstoppable force 2AP - Starts on, Activated 5 plays on, 5 plays off all game
Marshawn Lynch AKA Crews 96 - angry runs 0AP, 6 plays on, 5 plays off
Barry Sanders Cover athletes 94- freight train 8 plays on, must rush 1+ yards 6 times to reactivate - my current HB, he’s amazing
Peyton Hillis Cover athletes 94- angry runs 8 plays on, must rush 1+ yards 6 times to reactivate
Derrick Henry Ghosts of Madden 94- angry runs 10 plays on with persistent, must rush 2+ TDs once xfactor is gone to have it unstoppable (stays entire game)
there are other unstoppable or AKA X factors but for D line, unstoppable force is the one you want, and for running backs, angry runs or freight train break the first tackle. If you are more of a passer, on your running back you may want unstoppable/AKA backfield master which allows extra hot routes (if you don’t have hot route master on your QB) or you may want YAC em up which breaks the first tackle post catch not a rush. Christian Mccathery 95 SB has this
This is so helpful thank you. I’m 2 levels away from the final token to get mad beast for free and I took warren sapp. Would you recommend Derrick Henry or Peyton hillis? Peyton seems easier to keep on but Henry gets extra plays

i have barry at HB 1 and Henry as a back up for goal line. Barry is extremely smooth with his high AGI and COD. I recommend him if you know how to juke and follow your blocks. he’s amazing for a person who knows how to run.
recommend Henry if you just wanna run straight and never really juke, and recommend Hillis if your stick skills aren’t amazing, but you still wanna juke and avoid tacklers

the unstoppable guys are expensive, so if you have Sapp and you’re gonna get madabeast, and you want a third… highly recommend Mr Monday night as he’s the next cheapest who’s worth it. had him for ages until i got george, he balled out for me. can throw him in a flat every other play if your opp is throwing lots of HB flats, his xfactor works for pass game too. he gets knock outs and has 94 zone and 94 man! but pass rush with a mix of zone is the best way to use him effectively

All of these RedAlpha posts/comments are exceptionally on point. Bravo for the super informative stuff, as always. Thought i'd be able to drop in and add something helpful, but he's got you covered. You will NOT regret a D-line that consists of; Sapp at DT with Madabeast and Mr. Monday Night on the edges.
As far as halfback, it's Beast Mode, followed by everyone else. Derrick Henry is the one i typically see most often, but Peyton Hillis gets that good juke move. I believe Michael Vick HB also gets an X-factor (Freight Train? whatever Barry gets) that starts on, but some folks don't love the unique juke move/animation Vick gets at random times. Unsure of the rate, but perhaps 1 in 4 jukes will trigger his unique animation -- i guess it could be every time, but i've only played against him, not used him, personally.
To give you some context, my D-line currently consists of; Chase Young (RE), Warren Sapp (DT), Madabeast (DT2), George (LE), but i'm only using Unstoppable Force on Sapp & 0AP Colossus on George, with the third X-factor being dedicated to Kam, as i'm using a Light it Up token for Dual Threat (same ability Mr. Monday Night gets), which is awesome pass rush + all the KOs (minus the improved reaction time). For my halfback, i've tried and tried to acquire Derrick Henry, but i'm still using 99 SPD Superbowl CMC, no good X-factor, sadly.
And definitely do not snooze on the very last portion of redalpha's pro-tips, you can always USER Mr. Monday Night from the edge and drop 8 back into pass coverage, if/when necessary. It's extremely nice to see our pass rush come alive once those X-factors are available.

only issue with Vick is it doesn’t start on. hence why i didn’t say him. his was a weird one. Usering Bullock off the line is great, he also does well at CPU coverage.
people who used him at sub LB wasted him imo. let him eat on the line.

Ahhh, thanks for clueing me in here to the real potential drawback(s) regarding Vick HB. I only have the 93 Barry, so i assume Vick also gets a similar 6 runs for 1+ yard to activate the X-factor, correct? Not at all difficult, but also not great. Appreciate you setting me straight, figures there's nothing i can add to your great review.
