What exactly is Shutdown X Factor

Ive heard many different opinions on what it is such as

it creates tighter coverage in man - similar to one step ahead

it creates more interceptions - similar to pick artist but without the INT return bonus

it creates more KOs in man and zone coverage - similar to Menace

.

According to ChatGPT, it is the best CB X factor = even better than Universal coveage - and works in both man and zone

.

So if you're running shutdown abilitiy...I would assume you would just wnat to add maybe Mid Route KO and Secure Tackler??

You wouldnt need Pick Artist, any zone KOs or One Step Ahead?

I tested this stuff last year and made a thread with the results:

I know abilities in general have been toned down this year and only activate like 50% of the time but I think these abilities still give the same benefits as last year.

This is fantastic. Thanks man! I like shutdown @jimshredder but I run primarily man so it works for me. When I was running season pass Woodson, it made a world of difference in the stat column. OSA is expensive and it seemed to work like OSA + PA. Probably not worth a damn if you run more zone (which is why I don’t use zone hawk).

Edit: sorry, jimshredder. I tagged @phatalerror earlier mistaking your post for his lol

Glad someone finds it useful. Although it seems your scheme must have been working fine without stumbling onto my year old data, haha.
