Superstar Mode brings back the glory of the Madden through the old but gold era when many Developers worked alongside EA to create the perfect American Football game. Now that dream has returned to Madden 24 after an incredibly long hiatus in an attempt to revitalize the franchise and hitting the sentimental nerves of its most loyal fans. The Superstar Mode is exclusive to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X meaning that those (like myself) cannot try this Career Mode out for themselves due to owning either a PS4 or Xbox One. Why this is a thing I do not know, however, for those trying out Career Mode themselves, this is Vincent’s guide on all Superstar Mode positions and abilities available in Madden 24.
All Superstar Mode Positions and Abilities in Madden 24
Superstar Mode brings on the classic Career Mode that is typically seen in MyCareer (NBA), Become a Legend (PES), or simply Career Mode (FIFA). With a ton of cutscenes and voice acting to immerse yourself into the world of American Football, your career can truly skyrocket as you grind to get that 99 rating. In this Superstar Mode however, players have the choice between the positions – Quarterback, Halfback, Wide Receiver, Linebacker, or Cornerbacker. Deciding on where you will play is key to developing your playstyle and how you revolve around your team. With this in mind, each position has their strengths on the field as we all know, but it is crucial to look at your X-Factor Abilities and what suits your playstyle the best.

With a ton of X-Factor Abilities to try out for your player, not all will work with your chosen position. These X-Factor Abilities already exist throughout Madden 24 and are part of multiple Pro Player kits to make them stand-out amongst the pack and add another layer of realism into the game with each Ability being one that is transferrable and seen throughout the real Pro Player’s career on the field.
