Re: X factor trait not appearing when earned in cfm

Hey, everyone.

A new title update went out this week. Can you confirm with us whether it's still happening to you in new and existing franchises?

Thanks,

Hello Blueberry. I just wanted to bring one little bug I found with the updates that came out this week. Like I mentioned all players past and present have been corrected and updated EXCEPT Nick Bosa. He is not updated to an X-Factor player in Franchise as he was in the rest of the game this week. I posted a separate post for it just so you guys could get the details of the problem and take care of it when you can. Thanks a lot! Here is my post:

Nick Bosa is not showing up as an X-Factor player after the recent Title Update and Ratings Update. He was changed this week to an X-Factor player with the following skills: Unstoppable Force, Strip Specialist and Finesse Specialist. These skills are not enabled/showing up for him.

I did a thorough search and comparison of all X-Factor and Superstar players after the most recent Title Update and Ratings Adjustment. All past and present players have been fully corrected and updated with the proper skills whether they be Upgraded to X-Factor or Superstar skills or Downgraded to Superstar or No abilities.

The only discrepancy I found was that Nick Bosa is not updated as a X-Factor player when creating a New Franchise Mode. He is the only player I could find that had any issues at all.

    Hi I'm still having this issue on Xbox. My rookie hidden dev DT has unstoppable force but it doesnt go in-game. I've tried doing the create best lineup fix and that doesnt work.

    I know this is an old issue, but I have a hunch that i've figured out one of the problems with the X-Factors not activating or working.

    My hunch: Players are assigned x-factor traits based on their scheme type, so if you have a rookie with a hidden dev trait who ends up being an x-factor without the need of upgrade scenarios, his x-factor skill is assigned when he is created (even if it's hidden). However, if at some time you upgrade his other skills to make him a different scheme before he is revealed as an X factor, then his X-factor ability will be inaccessible when revealed.

    For example: My rookie qb is a hidden x-factor with a strong arm archetype. As I work towards revealing his dev trait, I upgrade his skills so he becomes a Field General archetype. When 500 snaps have been played, he's revealed as a Fearless QB which is associated with "Strong Arm", but he is no longer a Strong Arm QB because I have turned him into a Field General. However, his X-factor ability is tied to his existence as a strong arm QB (which he is no longer), so I cannot activate his X-factor and he doesnt count towards one on the field.

    However, if I edited his skills to make him a Strong Arm QB, he would gain the ability, or if I did the development edit trick as outlined in this thread he would get reassigned an X-Factor ability associated with the Field General archetype, for example: the "Omaha" ability. But no matter how many times I edit and redit and 'roll the dice' to try to get his previous trait (fearless), the game won't allow it.

    I know this is an old thread for an issue that may or may not plague the 21 variety, but I hope this offers some insight into why some abilities are not active despite being visible.
