Top 5 Madden 20 HB's Based on Superstar and X Factor Abilities




Our friends over at Madden School continue to do a nice job of breaking down all the individual abilities, this time for each HB's HERE. Staying in sync with our article yesterday, I took a crack at ranking the top five HB's for Madden 20 based on abilities.This ranking does not take age, attributes, or team into consideration they are based solely on their Superstar and X Factor abilities.

#5) Saquon Barkley - New York Giants

The Abilities:

X Factor Ability: First One Free
What it does:  When they enter the zone this ability increases their fake out rate on the next juke, spin, or hurdle

Super Star Ability: Evasive
What it does: Ball carriers with this ability have faster juke and spin animations

Super Star Ability: Backfield Mismatch
What it does:  Running backs with this ability have better catch in traffic and route running when coming out of the backfield against linebackers and linemen.

Why he made the list: Saquon Barley offers a nice variety in terms of his ability. First One Free is a fake out increasing ability, that when combined with Evasive makes Barkely a dangerous weapon in the running game. Along with his running prowess, Backfield Mismatch allows Barkley to act as a true dual threat back taking advantage of linebackers in coverage. In the end, Barkley's rounded abilities find him a spot in the top 5.


#4) Melvin Gordon - Los Angeles Chargers

The Abilities:


X Factor Ability: First One Free

What it does:  When they enter the zone this ability increases their fake out rate on the next juke, spin, or hurdle

Super Star Ability: Juke Box
What it does:  Ball carriers with this ability have faster just animations


Super Star Ability: Pin-N-Pull Guru
What it does: Ball carriers with this ability receiver better blocking on pitch, toss, and counter plays.

Why he made the list: Melvin Gordon cracks the list at number four with his bevy of running abilities. Gordon was built for Madden style running boasting both Juke Box, which allows for faster Jukes, and Pin-N-Pull, which gives him better blocking on pitches and tosses, both of which are staples of Madden running. When you add in First One Free, Gordon should be one of the best backs in the game from an abilities stand point.

#3) Ezekiel Elliott - Dallas Cowboys

The Abilities:


X Factor Ability: First One Free

What it does:  When they enter the zone this ability increases their fake out rate on the next juke, spin, or hurdle

Super Star Ability: Arm Bar
What it does:   Ball carriers with this ability have more powerful stiff arm animations

Super Star Ability: Inside Zone Guru
What this ability does: Ball carriers with this ability receive better blocking on inside zone plays.

Why he made the list: While Zeke possess the already discussed First One Free X Factor trait like many of the backs you'll see on this list. His Arm Bar ability provides improved stiff arm effectiveness to an already improved stiff arm mechanic this year. The real reason though that Zeke made the list is the all important Inside Zone Guru. One of the main plays in the shotgun running attack, Inside Zone Guru gives even better blocking to one of the most popular plays in Madden. As the only person in the game with this ability look for Zeke to be a popular option for players.

#2) Christian McCaffrey - Carolina Panthers

The Abilities:


X Factor Ability: Satellite
What this ability does: When they enter the zone, this ability increase their success rate on possession and RAC catches against single coverage.

Super Star Ability: Spin Cycle
What this ability does: Ball Carriers with this ability have faster spin animations

Super Star Ability: Backfield Master
What this ability does: When lined up in the backfield, players with this ability have access to four additional hot routes, better route running, and improved catching against linebackers and linemen.

Why he made the list: McCaffrey offers a lot to like to someone who wants a back who can run and catch. With the Satellite X Factor ability he receives a bonus in single coverage for possession and RAC catches which should make him a great weapon against man coverage. Spin Cycle speeds of his spin animation allowing him to make defenders miss more easily. The previous abilities were nice, but it is Backfield Master that pushed McCaffrey up the list. With Backfield Master McCaffrey is ready built to dominate in the passing game out of the backfield. 

#1: Alvin Kamara - New Orleans Saints

The Abilities:


X Factor Ability: Satellite
What this ability does: When they enter the zone, this ability increase their success rate on possession and RAC catches against single coverage.

Super Star Ability: Matchup Nightmare
What this ability does: Receivers with this ability make sharper cuts and frequently win contested catches when covered by linebackers and linemen.

Super Star Ability: Running Back Apprentice
What this ability does: When lined up in the backfield, players with this ability have access to four additional hot routes during pre-play adjustments.

Why he made the list: Kamara comes in at #1 on our list due to his elite versatility as a receiving threat. Kamara, like McCaffrey, possess Satellite giving him an advantage while in single coverage. Where Kamara shines above is Matchup Nightmare. With Matchup Nightmare Kamara can leave a defender in his dust making sharp cuts to gain separation. Add in the fact Matchup Nightmare improves contested catches as well and Linebackers should be scared as he will be nearly uncoverable to CPU defenders.

There's my list, how'd I do? What would your list look like? Let me know by commenting or hitting me up on Twitter @T4Verts!

  1. Even though a lot of people want low-cost MUT 21 Coins, in my opinion the most significant issue is usually to decide on a secure web page. Commonly players will pick out to search on Google, and I am no exception. It's necessary to carefully understand the site around the basis of security and after that spend interest to other elements. I think the safety of your web-site would be the most significant issue. If you need to say the web page that satisfies me one of the most, it is actually EZMUT.
    Right after my observation, they adopt a transparent transaction strategy to make sure the security of customers' accounts. And their value is decrease than the marketplace price tag, and there might be a 3% discount. Within the lots of transactions I've conducted, every single time the delivery is inside five minutes, plus the delivery speed can also be pretty fast. When you have not chosen a trusted internet site, then I suggest you to experience EZMUT first. As their loyal buyers, I think their functionality makes me decide on and advise it to you right here.
