When the new Madden 20 game arrives in just a few months, several of the players in the game will have special skills and abilities. These players will be able to unleash star abilities and will also have a special Superstar X-Factor. Players that EA revealed to be a part of this include cover athlete Patrick Mahomes and defensive star Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams. Recently, EA Play shed light on Madden 20 Superstar X-Factor and star abilities for the New Orleans Saints’ Alvin Kamara.
Alvin Kamara’s Madden Superstar X-Factor & Star Abilities
Some players in the upcoming Madden 20 game will have Star Abilities and Superstar X-Factor as part of their in-game arsenal of talents. Running back Alvin Kamara is one of these players. His Superstar X-Factor is called Satellite. When Kamara goes into the zone he has an increased success rate for possession and RAC catches against the single coverage defense.
To use Alvin Kamara’s Superstar X-Factor requires certain triggers in the game. That includes making 10+ yard receptions and not missing catches. The screenshot below is in an “in development” look from Madden 20 showing off Kamara’s special abilities.
One of Kamara’s Star Abilities is Matchup Nightmare. This gives him better opportunities to catch the ball against linebackers and defensive backs, as well as better route running. He also has something called Running Back Apprentice. This allows Kamara to have access to four other hot routes during the pre-play adjustments.
All of these give Kamara enhanced abilities that you may not get with just any running back in Madden. That’s because only certain players are worthy of these skills based on their real-life talent.
The video below shows off some of Alvin Kamara’s X-Factor ability as he breaks away to score a Saints’ touchdown.
Kamara is just one of many players in the Madden 20 game who has X-Factor and Star Abilities built in. It’s unknown exactly which players will have them, but it should make for an exciting new dynamic in the Madden environment.
By the way, Kamara’s quarterback Drew Brees appeared in a new gameplay video showing off Madden 20 Signature Animations. Between those and the special abilities, this game is shaping up to be an entertaining new take on the virtual football landscape!
