The best of the best.

Every position in Madden 25 has specific abilities you can make the most of to gain huge advantages on the field.

First, there are athletes with Superstar abilities who can perform impressively in their respective positions. But they’re trumped by the athletes with X-Factor abilities, who can change the momentum of the game at any given moment. While all X-Factor abilities are great, there’s always the best choice for every given position.

Top Madden 25 abilities for every position

Every position has more than one option when it comes to abilities. This means that you can use an athlete who suits your style of play. That said, certain abilities will always perform better in the in-game meta.

PositionBest Ability
QBBazooka/Truzz – Bazooka is great for any QB as it increases the max distance. Truzz is great for beginners as it avoids a fumble in case the QB gets tackled.
RBTruzz – Avoids a fumble in case the RB gets tackled. This is a pretty stable choice for any RB.
WRYac ‘Em Up/ Double Me – Yac ‘Em Up is the best choice if there’s double coverage. Otherwise, Double Me is hands down the best option for a wide receiver.
TEYac ‘Em Up – It pretty much guarantees
OLAll-Day – Reduces chances of success of shed attempts made by the opposition DL.
DLUnstoppable Force/Fearmonger – Unstoppable Force is is great for quicker block shedding, while Fearmonger increases chances of the QB being sacked if he’s engaged with a blocker.
LBZone Hawk/Avalanche – Zone Hawk raises the rate of interceptions in zone coverage. Avalanche is amazing if you can time your hit-sticks; a successful one will always result in a fumble.
CBShutdown – Contest catches will have increased chances of interceptions and tighter coverage.
SReinforcement – Better chances to defeat run blocks and also disrupt catches

There are several Superstar abilities available for all the positions. In my experience, the X-Factor abilities have far greater impact (in the intended fashion). While athletes with X-Factor abilities are rare, more names could be added in future updates.
