Top 5 Madden 20 LB'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 all defenders HERE. Staying in sync with our article yesterday, I took a crack at ranking the top five LB'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) Darius Leonard - Indianapolis Colts
The Abilities:
Super Star Ability: Strip Specialist
What it does: Reduced tackle penalty while trying to strip the ball
Why he made the list: Pickings are slim for stack linebackers when it comes to abilities. Leonard checks in at #5 because of his Strip Specialist. With Strip Specialist he won't be subject to tackle penalty while trying to separate the ball from the ball carrier.
#4) Leighton Vander Esch - Dallas Cowboys
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Unfakeable
What it does: Decreased chance to be faked out by ball carrier moves
Why he made the list: Vander Esch makes the list on the back of his Unfakeable ability. With this ability the chance of him being faked out by ball carrier moves will be decreased, which is good news as the Juke move appears to be deadly this year.
X Factor Ability: Unfakeable
What it does: Decreased chance to be faked out by ball carrier moves
#3) CJ Mosley - New York Jets
The Abilities:
Super Star Ability: Tackle Supreme
What it does: Defenders with this ability have better conservative/dive tackling, are rarely faked out by ball carrier moves, and cannot be faked out when user-controlled.
#1a) Luke Kuechly - Carolina Panthers
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Shutdown
What it does: When they enter the zone, their coverage is tighter and interceptions are more frequent on contested catches.
Super Star Ability: Enforcer
What this ability does: Defenders with this ability don’t allow broken tackles when hit-sticking ball carriers – regardless of the runner’s size or power
Super Star Ability: Tackle Supreme
What it does: Defenders with this ability have better conservative/dive tackling, are rarely faked out by ball carrier moves, and cannot be faked out when user-controlled..
Why he made the list: This is another case of two players having the exact same load out in terms of abilities. To be fair, these are the two best LB's in the game so it would make sense. Shutdown is a truly impressive X Factor as it is more commonly used for DB's meaning these guys will being covering at an elite level. Between Enforcer and Tackle Supreme these players both will be hard to get away from if think you'll have a better chance attacking them on the ground.
#1b) Bobby Wagner - Seattle Seahawks
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Shutdown
What it does: When they enter the zone, their coverage is tighter and interceptions are more frequent on contested catches.
Super Star Ability: Enforcer
What this ability does: Defenders with this ability don’t allow broken tackles when hit-sticking ball carriers – regardless of the runner’s size or power
Super Star Ability: Tackle Supreme
What it does: Defenders with this ability have better conservative/dive tackling, are rarely faked out by ball carrier moves, and cannot be faked out when user-controlled..
Why he made the list: See above, as both Wagner and Kuechly have the same load out making them a 1a/1b combo here at the top of the list!
