Along the way you will select your X-Factor (which you can jump around with, so you aren?t locked into one), level up abilities, and even interact with other players. Once you make your way to an NFL roster it?s time to build your legacy and become the starting QB. ![]() The small taste in Face of the Franchise could possibly be teasing the return of the popular franchise, and despite not watching college football, it had me wishing I could play some more of the college style gameplay.įollowing your college football run and open practices, you will (hopefully) get drafted by an NFL franchise. For those not in the know, EA hasn?t made a NCAA Football game in over six years. ![]() What?s very interesting to me (and this might be a minor spoiler, but it?s in the first 10 minutes of the mode) is that you play multiple NCAA games in the college football playoffs. Many of the complaints of Longshot have been resolved, less story and more gameplay. Now you play the role of a created player on his journey from college quarterback that rode the bench nearly his entire time in school to being drafted in the NFL and forging your own legacy. Nitpick aside this is the story mode for Madden NFL 20. I?m not sure which one EA wants the mode to be known as, I feel like every loading screen said QB1, while the menu option was Face of the Franchise. Gone is the Longshot mode, which I wasn?t a fan of, and debuting this season is the Face of the Franchise or QB1. X-Factor also carries over into the new Face of The Franchise mode. If you?re better on offense, it makes more sense to go with teams that have offensive superstars like Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes (ugh I threw up a little in my mouth mentioning both of them), meanwhile if you consider yourself more of a defensive guru, you might want to go with the Bears and Khalil Mack or my Broncos and Von Miller (gratuitous plug). You see, each team has players that have X-Factor, but some feature more than others and can be used more to your strengths of playing. This new ability system seems a little arcade-y to me, but it adds some real depth to the gameplay and has to be taken under consideration when you pick your team of choice. Each ability also has pitfall that will take you out of the zone. Now those abilities could make you throw the ball further, tighten the defense, not throw any interceptions, among many other things, but they don?t last forever. Each ability requires certain criteria (throw a 30+ yard pass, intercept two balls, etc.) and once those are met you can then use the advanced ability of that player. Superstar players for each team, known as X-Factors, have unique special abilities that they can use once they, ?get in the zone?. With Madden NFL 20, EA is introducing a new gameplay mechanic that?s not so new. So let me start with my favorite addition to Madden NFL 20 X-Factor. Let?s get the coin toss going because it?s almost kick off time. EA doesn?t change much year over year, or take any chances with new features, but Madden NFL 20 still delivers everywhere it counts even if it flags for facemask grasping way too much (more on that later). Luckily this year doesn?t feel like complete deja vu which really brought down my experience of Madden 19, but the lack of competition is just as strong as ever. Are you ready for some football? Get your helmet (that means you, Antonio Brown) and suit up because Madden NFL 20 is here. ![]()
