X-Factor Abilities not appearing?

I'm no longer seeing X-Factor abilities listed on my top 3 players on the controller selection screen.

Abilities are definitely on, and I can see them on the opposing team, just not my own players.

Also, in game Andrew Luck has a star under him instead of an X. His pro-reads goals also aren't appearing.

I'm in the pre season but dont recall that making a difference...

Anybody else experienced this?

Summed to the regular season and still no abilities.

Edited Andrew Luck to normal dev then back to x factor and his pro reads ability appeared on the controller screen.

The amount of bugs this game has is embarrassing and unacceptable. I literally don't have the game I paid for right now.

I thought it was just me. But there have been times in game where I'd press the R2 button to view the abilities and nothing would show up. Wasnt sure what was happening. But then the next game they would be there

Mine just aren't appearing at all. You also can't see the superstar players on the controller select screen (I'm fairly certain you could before?) but they do show up in game.

I might just have to turn them off altogether which really sucks.

Re: X-Factor Abilities not appearing?

I play CPU vs CPU or PTM. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't.. playing the COLTS and Pitts as the Browns. Both QBs Luck and big Ben had there X's lit orange from from the begging of the game and they stayed on the whole time playing 12 min quarters.

I am not sure how all of this works yet, But also have had the star under a player one play and then not the next. In one game against the the Chiefs, Mahomes had a white X.. it stayed white, after the snap, But as soon as he threw the ball it would turn orange, then right back to white. the player he threw it too would flash orange but turn white as soon as he caught it.

Still a learning experience for me so I don't know if it is supposed to be this way or a bug. I do know its hard to determine in preseason because the starting players really don't have much opportunity to earn the X factor because they pull them.. Still can't understand why LUCK and BIG BEN were orange the entire time they were in the game. This is in Off-line franchise mode.

Has this always been the case for you?

Mine were working fine when I first got the game. This only started happening yesterday, potentially the day before. I'm thinking the patch might have bugged the system out or something?

Re: X-Factor Abilities not appearing?

Just found out this morning. All you have to do is go to adjust lineup and hit generate best lineup and it fixes the issue. I just had Brian Burns upgrade to an X factor in my CFM and was wondering why it wasn’t showing. This fixes the bug, wish I knew this before I played my game lol

After you do this can you redo the lineup?
