Stop Dequiping all my X-Factors

Due to the "health stat bonuses," Once you upgrade an X-factor like Wheels, Ankle Breaker or any other X-Factor that is affected by it, you lose them, and cannot downgrade them to re-equip them.

Hilariously, the AI players have these perks without meeting the stat requirements. Elite wheel? 91 acceleration 90 Speed - Karil Kaprizov. 

Then, for specific stats, there is no way to increase them organically. 

Acceleration? You are going to live with your 85 acceleration, unboosted, until the end of time. 

It is literally ruining the gameplay experience for me. I grinded 20 hours to get a decent loadout and I can use them 1 game per week? Or I am forced into CONSTANTLY RE-EQUIPPING THEM EVERY GAME AFTER USING MY ENERGY ONCE AGAIN TO GET MY HEALTH BONUS BACK.

You've got to be kidding me. 

To the singular intern who made this game mode, please make it so X-Factors don't dequip every Game.

Thanks.

    Especially a problem with wheels as acceleration is difficult to level up after traits are maxed

  • Sad this still hasn’t been fixed.

    EA_Aljo​ is there any update on this?

    • update on it unequipping after every game?
    • update on being able to get red wheels? (We would need a way to increase acceleration and speed)
    • update on getting red elite edges? (We need to be able to update agility other than doing a million spin-o-ramas)
    • update on getting red big rig? (Need a way to improve balance)

    Hello. We're still investigating the issue with XFs unequipping.

    What is the issue with the getting the XFs you mentioned as well as Big Rig?

    EA_Aljo​ for certain X-factors such as the ones I mentioned, they are impossible to upgrade beyond yellow in a be a pro mode. Is this intentional or a bug?

    For the examples I listed, wheel, it is impossible to get red wheels. Literally impossible. It’s not possible because there is no way to increase your acceleration beyond the TP skill tree. When you max that out, you get a max acceleration (including the 5% boost of perfect health — which is not reasonable) of 89 or 90 (something like this I don’t have the numbers exactly pulled up). To get red wheels you need to have like 93 acceleration which is completely impossible to get.

    For big rig, you need 89 balance. There is no way to get this from what i see. Your balance stat caps out around 85. Per each game, sometimes I see +20 exp. But that would mean you’d have to play thousands of games just to get the attribute up a couple points 

    For Elite Edges, you cannot get past Yellow tier because you cannot get Agility stat to 89. Maxing out this still leaves you well short of this. You can do spin-o-ramas to get 20 exp for agility. But are we seriously supposed to do thousand of these to just get the stat up from 88-89?

    These are just the ones I’ve taken note of. I’m sure there are more.

    You need put money to everything which gives speed +1  on monthly thing (like buy cars, etc.) You can get 93 speed on that way.

    This is a long-term problem with Be a Pro: you can't develop speed, acceleration, agility, or even balance through playing, which is really strange. 
    Imagine if NHL26 was realistic, McDavid would have bought his speed by cheating at a young age.

    This is yet another reason why the game needs a junior league where you can develop your player into the person you really are by playing... This is a distant dream, though, with EA's expertise that can barely even calculate.

  • EA_Aljo​ any updates on this or that they’re even aware of this going on? I’m dealing with the same X-factor frustrations and this is 2 months after the original comment

    Unfortunately, we weren't able to reproduce this. If you can get another video, I'll pass it on in case it helps.
