Top 5 Madden 20 QB's Based on Superstar and X Factor Abilities
Our friends over at Madden School did a nice job of breaking down all the individual abilities for each QB HERE. After reading about all of the individual abilities it got me thinking, "Who's the best QB ability wise in Madden 20?". With that in mind I decided to rank the top five QB's based on only abilities. This ranking does not take age, attributes, or team into consideration they are based solely on their Superstar and X Factor abilities.
#5) Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Gambler
What it does: When they enter the zone, they can’t be intercepted by AI Defenders.
Super Star Ability: Dashing Dead Eye
What it does: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all throws while running outside the pocket except high/low throws
Super Star Ability: Roaming Dead Eye
What it does: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all un-pressured throws while their feet are set outside the pocket except on high/low throws.
Why he made the list: Some people may have Rodgers higher on their lists, however I was actually a bit disappointed in the number of traits he received. While Dashing and Roaming Dead eye are nice traits that boost Rodgers accuracy I would have liked to have seen some sort of elusiveness trait like some of the other QB's on this list. The trait that really captured him a spot on this list though is his X Factor ability; Gambler. Gambler prevents the CPU from being able to pick off a pass from Rodgers. This ability alone is one of the most powerful of all the QB X factor abilities which snags him the 5th spot on the list.
#4) Cam Newton - Carolina Panthers
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Freight Train
What it does: When they enter the zone, this ability increases their chance to break the next tackle.
Super Star Ability: Escape Artist
What it does: Passers with this ability are faster and more responsive to user input while scrambling behind the line of scrimmage.
Super Star Ability: Fast Break
What it does: What it does: Passers with this ability immediately respond to user input (and defenders react more slowly) on designed quarterback run plays
Super Star Ability: Anchored Extender
What it does: While in the pocket, passers with this ability are almost guaranteed to break the first sack attempt by a blitzing defensive back.
#3) Ben Roethlisberger - Pittsburgh Steelers
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Pro Reads
What this ability does: When they enter the zone, their first open receiver is highlighted while they are standing in the pocket.
Super Star Ability: Anchored Extender
What it does: While in the pocket, passers with this ability are almost guaranteed to break the first sack attempt by a blitzing defensive back.
Super Star Ability: Lofting Deadeye
What this ability does: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all lob or touch passes Except high/low throws and cross body throws.
Super Star Ability: Last Ditch
What this ability does: Passers with this ability have a higher chance of completing a pass animation and throwing the ball while being sacked
Super Star Ability: Sleight of Hand
What this ability does: Passers with this ability have an increased success rate when using pump fakes on double-move routes against zone coverage
Super Star Ability: Homer
What this ability does: When playing at home, players with this ability can easily enter the zone
#2) Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Bazooka
What this ability does: Quarterbacks with generational arms have the power to stretch any defense to its breaking point. When they enter the zone, their maximum throw distance is increased by 15+ yards.
Super Star Ability: Dashing Deadeye
What this ability does: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all throws while running outside the pocket except high/low throws
Super Star Ability: Escape Artist
What this ability does: Passers with this ability are faster and more responsive to user input while scrambling behind the line of scrimmage.
Super Star Ability: Red Zone Deadeye
What this ability does: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all unpressured throws inside the red zone except high/low throws
Super Star Ability: No Look Deadeye
What this ability does: Passers with this ability have perfect accuracy on all cross-body throws.
Why he made the list: As the cover athlete it makes sense Mahomes found his way on this list as EA equipped him with quite the arsenal of abilities. Mahomes is not a runner, but his elusiveness while looking to throw is highlighted by his abilities. Escape Artist allows him to more effectively navigate the pocket while looking down field to unleash his Bazooka X Factor ability. With Dashing Dead Eye and No look Dead Eye even while on the move Mahomes is one of the most deadly QB's in the game.
#1: Tom Brady - New England Patriots
The Abilities:
X Factor Ability: Pro Reads
What this ability does: When they enter the zone, their first open receiver is highlighted while they are standing in the pocket.
Super Star Ability: Hot Route Master
What this ability does: Players with this ability have access to 4 extra hot routes during pre-play adjustments
Super Star Ability: Conductor
What this ability does: Passers with this ability can make all hot route and blocking assignments twice as fast excluding audibles.
Super Star Ability: Clutch
What this ability does: Midway through the 4th quarter in close games, players with this ability can easily enter (and remain in) the zone.
Super Star Ability: Protected
What this ability does: Passers with this ability receive better pass blocking from their offensive lineman
Super Star Ability: Pocket Lead
What this ability does: Passers with this ability have extended range on all un-pressured precision passing from the pocket except high/low throws.
Why he made the list: Not only is Brady the G.O.A.T he apparently is when it comes to Madden abilities as well. With a game leading six abilities Brady is equipped to basically do anything he wants to on his way to annihilating the competition. Pro Reads mentioned earlier is a top X Factor ability allowing users to see the open receiver. Brady however possess Clutch which allows him to get in, and stay in, the zone easier late in close games. Add in the fact Protected will buy you more time and Conductor will let you hot route the plays quicker and it seems, and it seems like Brady can truly do it all when it comes to playing QB in Madden.
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!
Great read.. i would have to agree. If ur in a close game and have the ball for a game winning drive.. Brady has got to be the guy with the open receiver being highlighted... stay away from my Pats!!
