Madden 20 Title Update Adds New Superstar X-Factor Player, Other Improvements
On September 12, EA released a new Madden 20 title update. The latest update brought gameplay changes, game tweaks, and added a new Superstar X-Factor player since another is out of the league. All of that arrived as Madden’s new Ultimate Kickoff and Signature Series also arrived. Here’s the latest on what’s new in the game as of Thursday’s updates including new items at the Madden Store.
Madden 20 Title Update makes TY Hilton Superstar X Factor
The big news that Andrew Luck retired swept the league just ahead of the start of the season. While EA tried to appease fans with that special M20 Tribute Card they released in honor of Andrew Luck, his retirement still took away one of the 50 Superstar X-Factor players from the game. To make up for that, Thursday’s title update made T.Y. Hilton of the Indianapolis Colts into a Superstar X-Factor player.
Hilton’s Superstar/X-Factor abilities include:
- RAC ‘em Up – When in the zone, wins RAC catches vs. single coverage
- Double Move Elite – Higher chance of success when running double-move routes
- Route Technician – Quicker cuts while running routes
EA also noted that the changes only impact Franchises created after today’s update using the “Custom Roster” option. So existing Franchises won’t be impacted by these changes.
Here are the rest of EA’s latest Madden 20 title update notes:
Global Updates:
General stability and connectivity improvements
Gameplay Updates:
- Fixed issues with the ‘Backfield Master,’ ‘Backfield Mismatch,’ and ‘Matchup Nightmare” abilities
- Fixed a QB Scramble bug when hot routing on PA Zone Fake Jet
(DEV NOTE: In our previous title update, we mentioned that we fixed a similar issue. There were two cases that caused the QB to enter a bad state, and the previous update only fixed one of those cases. This will fix the other known case, which is specific to the PA Zone Fake Jet set-up.)
Madden Ultimate Team Updates:
- Fixed an issue causing unreadable text to appear in the ‘Seasons Progress’ bar after losing a MUT Seasons game
- Fixed an issue causing the Mission List to be cut off when having too many items present in the MUT Hub
Superstar KO:
General stability improvements
