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.

    I’ve had the same issue. I upgraded both the speed boost and elite edges to blue (2nd level upgrade). If you’re not in the maximum category for your health (in the fifth green bar) then those abilities are removed and don’t work until you regen your health. If you’ve upgraded your gold elite edges for example, that 5% boost for top health is mandatory to use your upgraded blue elite edges. There is no way to be able to equip to lower level version of the ability once upgraded as the upgrade becomes your only option. This makes it get cancelled after a single game as your players energy drops and you lose your 5% bonuses. 

  • I would absolutely love it if you showed the day of the week in be a pro mode so that I know when a Sunday comes and I can get energy back

    ive honestly had the calander on my phone open to 2027 so that I can tell the day of the week in game. I also may just be absolutely missing where it says the day but all I seem to see is date/month/year when what I really want to know is when Sunday is to get my upgrade/energy refill

    I’m not going to do that. Since this game launched with so many freaking issues I deleted the save that had Blue Elite Edges. Since then, I’ve created a few saves and none of them I go for elite edges because it is still impossible to upgrade to blue or red elite edges / wheels because you cannot upgrade your stats for these beyond 90 with max health. This has yet to be addressed 5 months after the games release and the numerous posts I have made about this

     I’m not gonna spend hours grinding and simulating to recreate the scenario because you need a whopping 15 X factor points and like 15 trait points to get required stats. That should be your teams job. Again, it’s literally a pop up and message in the game. If your team cannot ctrl + f to find the message about dequipping an X factor I don’t know what to tell you.

    EA_Aljo​ here is an old screenshot I had that shows it would not allow me to equip it after I simulated a game and my health was no longer perfect causing my stat for acceleration to not be above 89. Again if your team has any competency they would see you cannot upgrade your acceleration stat beyond 88 without perfect health.

     

  • EA_Aljo​ What’s happening is when maxing our energy (we gain a 5% bonus to stats) allowing us to equip traits we’ve purchased however when we lose that max energy bonus we can no longer use these traits as the bonus 5% is what puts us over the barrier to equip them causing them to cancel out after every game. Depending on the height and weight combo you chose for your player you max out things like acceleration in the low 90s and without that boost your abilities are no longer usable. Plus once we’ve upgraded our gold wheels for example to blue wheels we lose access to the gold version altogether.

    Thanks. I'll pass this on to the team. I know this one is still under investigation.

    Rockstaar80​ What build have you found capable of getting higher than maxed out acceleration at 90? I've created multiple saves and builds and none of them can get acceleration stat high enough. For example, a 6 ft playmaker, theoretically, should be able to get blue wheels without needing the 5% bonus, but even that build still maxes out at like 88 acceleration.

    Sorry, I’m in the same boat as you are and only able to do it with the 5% bonus as you are. I require that boost to increase my acceleration in order to use the ability. So if I’m not maxed out every game I lose the blue speed and blue elite edges after every game
