Be a Pro X-factor problems

Hello the problem with X-factors in this years be a Pro is the reguirments to obtain them. ie strenght, speed, agility, accelleration or balance.

  1. The is no natural way to develop them. Yes you get a little bit of XP say for the spin-orama, holding to the boards or for beating an icing but in my almost 80h of playtime it seems it does not really count towards the XP because the Healthsystem ”resets” the attributes ”level” everytime energy goes up or down. Ps you cannot in my testing get balance higher than 86 so perks like big rig cannot ever be upgraded! (Reguires 89 balance). EASY FIX LOWER THE REGUIRMENTS TO GET THEM. BETTER FIX IS TO FIX THE ATTRIBUTE TREE SO I CAN GET 99 SPEED OR AGILITY. IT IS A SINGLE PLAYER MODE SO IT DOES NOT EFFECT GAME BALANCE IN MY EYES
  2. The health system lowers my attributes. As an example Elite edges level 2 so the blue one reguires 89 agility and 89 accelleration. So If by some miracle i can get the attributes that high to even get it in the first place ;) it unequips elite edges when i lose enegy and i have to manually equip them again after every 1-2 games. EASY FIX JUST LOCK THE X-FACTOR REGUIRMENTS AFTER GETTING IT.
  3. WHY IN ALL THAT IS HOLY ARE THE X-FACTORS SO RANDOM DEPENDING ON PLAYER ARCHETYPE. My all time favourite X-Factors are ”No contest” and ”big tipper” Only problem is the only Archetype that can get ”no contest” is a playmaker? And the only forward who can get the ”Quick pick” is a sniper? I love playing a Two way forward but the issue is it gets none of the before mentioned X-Factors are available for him. EASY FIX WHEN IN THE STARTING INTERVIEW I GET TO CHOOSE MY ONE X-FACTOR LET ME ADD MY FAVOURITES TO BE UNLOCKED LATER.  This Has been my biggest problem with be a pro sinne the X-factors where first introduced in 2020.

In my eyes these are relatively easy fixes and should be fixed. After all i and everybody else bought this game to have fun! At the moment not fun just frustrating.

I will not get in to the horrible form score here but i will say this. At the current moment the season progression is so slow because i have to play every game and get at least a goal or an apple just not to drop a line in the 8 game challenges. Been on line 1 for few seasons now. You cannot even simulate games because the challenges for form score never quits. Not everybody is a kid with 8 hours a day to grind be a pro. THE MODE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN NOT A FULL TIME JOB

Sorry for the extremely long post but wanted to be as specific as possible.

    Maybe I'm restarted or can't seem to figure it out but I have no idea how to equip extra X-Factors this year in be a pro, you can get X-Factor points but never can use them keeps saying unequip able, I mostly go for traits instead of X-Factor points or whatever they are called because I have no idea how to equip them.

    Edit: I figured this out right after I posted this DUH lol.

    Losing Elite Edges due to not being in the green and forcing to unequip is a major issue. I have maxed out the entire skating skill tree and to just keep Blue I have to stay in the green. I agree, I have no reliable way if increasing speed and acceleration. Beating icing for however little XP that may give as way to unreliable and would require exploiting with sliders to even achieve any meaningful progress. I also have every perk checked that increases speed. No perk increases acceleration. 

     

    Please lock in X-Factors that you have already unlocked and equipped. That would be the easiest fix. Even better as OP said, give us the ability to unlock more in the trait tree or to increase on-ice better.
