X-Factors are unique, passive buffs applied to only the best athletes in Madden 25, with all the game's greatest superstars receiving at least one bonus. However, for the sake of balance, these abilities are not available as soon as the player steps onto the field and instead must be earned by completing a small objective first. After activating, they will enter the zone and their full power will be unleashed, but poor play will see them lose their power-up just as quickly.
