X-Factor Backs

Last week I decided to grind out the AKA solos and try out an X-Factor running back. I chose to go with Flash since I do utilize my running back in the passing game. I do not run anything close to meta. I never have. I come up with my own stuff and go accordingly. After using Flash all weekend, I honestly cannot believe how big of a difference these players actually make. I’m not one to complain much, but it’s almost unfair the stuff I got away with. Do you think these players should be this dominating? Just putting it out there…

I run flash as well. I'm not a fan of how op the x-factor is though. Especially with it being locked to aka backs. I might not pick up another hb for the rest of the year because of that.

Sometimes I wish they weren't in game so that more backs were viable, but I use Flash myself. If it's in the game, might as well use it. Personally though I don't think they're nearly as overpowered as people make them out to be. 

They're miles better than other HBs, but they're not unstoppable

i don’t mind it tbh

I feel the same exact way. I've never been a huge fan of abilities anyway. I run a Commanders TT and I don't see how I could go away from Flash. With strat hes 99 spd so I can't really do better there. Just seems really overpowered.

I really like your first point, I don’t think they’re unstoppable really. But it sucks you have to give them  so much extra attention

Its so weird cuz even after breaking the first tackle they seem like they break sooooo many more tackles after compared to the non xfactor backs.. i have had multiple runs where I break 4-5 tackles on one play..

That's because for each tackle you break the odds of you breaking the next tackle goes up.

For selfish reasons I like them because I'm an elite runner and they make me unstoppable. 

For not selfish reasons I also like that from Quadfather to Flash every person is able to get one in their price range.

Is this a real thing? I have never heard of that before ?!?

Check out the description 

'Freight Trains are relentless runners who refuse to go down on first contact. When they enter the zone, this ability increases their chance to break the next tackle.'

I was going to mention this. I noticed this too, especially if the tackle attempts are close together.

I run flash and bus, but sometimes my biggest plays come when they’re not even x factored lol

That just means they have better odds to break the first tackle lol
