X factors on receivers

What is a better x factor on WR. YAC em up or RAC em up and why?

I like RAC ‘em up better. It gets separation against press and man in general.

YAC helps break tackles after the catch but doesn’t help beat coverage.

Ain’t going to matter this week. Everyone will prob be using Auto on X factor momentum shift on defense. It will wipe out offensive x factors

This is why Persistent is extremely slept on

Persistent doesn't cancel out Momentum Shift.

Never said that.

So what is the benefit?

Honestly great question. I'm not one to sound like a guru. I trust persistent like I trust ice immunity on my kicker.

Persistent's only effect is extending the amount of times you can fail with an Xfactor before deactivating. So if your player gets hit behind the line of scrimmage as a runner you would get one more chance. If you failed to target your receiver in three plays or it was a drop you would get one more chance. If you took a sack as a QB you would get one more chance. 

Basically any deactivation gets extended to one more chance, it doesn't keep you from losing progress vs momentum shift, and it has no affect if it is an unstoppable ability already.

No, persistent is harder to knock out of the zone. Beyond that point, literally nobody can prove what is absolutely effective. And THAT RIGHT THERE is my point. All I did was bring up the word persistence and you've been jumping to conclusion with each response lol. That's the funny part on the side

It depends.  Are you trying to beat Man Press?  If so, you want any of the following; Double Me, RAC `Em Up or even Max Security.  All three should give you a high probability of insta-winning off the snap, especially against Man Press.  If you're trying to get extra yards after the catch and aren't struggling to deliver the ball, on time, then you might want to use something liek YAC `Em Up.

There is no single "best" for all scenarios, although fantastic question, sir.

Actually it is very easy to track you are "harder to knock out of the zone" because it increases the amount of failures it takes to knock you out of the zone. That is what the ability does.

It is also extremely simple to test this in game, go into practice mode with a regular X-factor (not unstoppable), and hold your right trigger and right stick up at the same time to see your knock out of zone requirements, it'll be standard. For instance on a runningback getting tackled for a loss once will usually deactivate you with a standard x-factor. Now go back into the game with the same x-factor and persistent and it will now require you to be tackled behind the line twice to get knocked out of the zone. That is why you are "harder to knock out of the zone" that is that abilities only effect at this current point in time.

Not sure what the point of giving me a synopsis of persistence in game examples when I'm literally the one advocating it lol I run it on Marshawn and Mr Raider. literally never said anything definitive, just what I personally trust.

I was just trying to help you understand what the ability does, cause you are advocating for it helping in situations where it has no effect. Usually people are interested in learning more about abilities and what they do, but I will remember to not let you know since you apparently don't care and would prefer to go off of vibes. lol
