What are Abilities?

Player-Specific Boosts

Abilities are the culmination of a player's career as a professional player through training and learning a thing or two in the field. These abilities come in the form of abilities that allow them to specialize in a specific field, giving them an edge over their opponents.

X-Factor Abilities

After achieving certain conditions, a player gets into the zone and activates their X-Factor Abilities. X-Factor Abilities change the field state to play around the player on fire since they will receive game-breaking abilities upon activation.

For example, Freight Trains trivialize tackle encounters while Run Stuffers guarantee most one-on-ones when they are in the zone!

Superstar Abilities

Superstar Abilities, unlike X-Factor Abilities that require you to complete conditions to activate, remain active throughout the game. While not as influential as their counterpart, these abilities dictate a player's playstyle and consistently give them additional properties without fail.
