Being successful in Madden 24 starts and ends with the quarterback position. Without a solid passer, winning on the gridiron will be extremely difficult. NFL teams are rapidly developing high-flying offenses that utilize a plethora of wide receivers and that increases the importance of needing someone to deliver quality passes.

High-quality players in Madden 24 have special Superstar abilities that greatly impact their performance on the field. These abilities are passive bonuses that are automatically applied throughout the game. We examine the best Superstar abilities for quarterbacks and how they can help you dominate on offense.

10 Gutsy Scrambler

Quarterbacks don’t have much time to make a decision in the pocket, and in some cases, might have to choose to tuck the ball and run with it. Typically, running with the ball is the last thing a quarterback wants to do for fear of causing a fumble, but mobile quarterbacks utilize this ability to become dual threats on offense.

Gutsy Scrambler reduces the pressure felt by the defense when a quarterback is on the run and allows them to confidently rush for yards. Most quarterbacks without this ability have a higher chance of fumbling the ball when tackled but mobile quarterbacks understand how to properly secure the football and use their legs to their advantage.

9 Dashing Deadeye

When the pocket collapses, chaos ensues. Not just for the quarterback who might be on the verge of getting sacked, but also on the defense trying to shut down receivers. Quarterbacks will naturally try to escape the pocket to find more room to throw and that’s where Dashing Deadeye comes into play.

This Superstar ability activates when the quarterback throws on the run and they’ll have perfect pass accuracy up to 40 yards. When a quarterback is in distress, the defense can sometimes lose sight of their matchup and allows the quarterback to make a desperate heave downfield.

8 Roaming Deadeye

Somewhat similar to Dashing Deadeye, Roaming Deadeye activates when the quarterback is outside the pocket. However, the slight difference is the former only activates when the quarterback is throwing on the run compared to Roaming Deadeye activates when the quarterback is simply standing outside the pocket.

Any throw outside the pocket is a risky one but Roaming Deadeye will improve your overall accuracy on all such throws, as long as the quarterback is standing still outside the pocket. Setting your feet could backfire and give the defense an extra second to apply pressure, but it’s the price to pay to have an accurate pass downfield.

7 Tight Out

Tight ends are generally known to be the security blanket for quarterbacks. They’re large targets who usually run short routes for about ten yards, though the number of athletic, playmaking tight ends continues to grow in the NFL.

Tight Out boosts the connection between quarterback and tight end as the pass-catcher continually beats their coverage. Their catching ability will improve throughout the game as they get the better of their matchup and that can open the door for big plays from tight ends like Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews and their respective quarterbacks.

6 Inside Deadeye

Throwing inside the numbers remains one of the most common passes a quarterback can attempt because it puts the receiver in a better position to complete the catch. However, that could also give defenders better opportunities to intercept or deflect the pass.

That’s why having Inside Deadeye can help reduce the chances of incomplete passes and ensure completed plays in the middle of the field. Inside Deadeye boosts the pass accuracy for throws inside the numbers, usually affecting throws on short and medium routes.

5 Sideline Deadeye

In situations where you need to preserve time, being able to properly throw along the sidelines can be the difference between winning and losing. Throwing on the outside allows the receiver to quickly get out of bounds to stop the clock, so you can have plenty of time to think about the next play.

Sideline Deadeye improves the pass accuracy for throws on the outer part of the field, whether it’s a deep streak toward the endzone or a cut leading out of bounds. It’s crucial to be aware of the game clock and know how to deliver passes to the outside so you don’t run out of time trying to complete a comeback.

4 Gunslinger

Throughout NFL history, quarterbacks who were gifted with fast releases or high-powered throws were labeled as gunslingers. This term could also mean the quarterback is a bit reckless in their throws and has a higher chance of turning the ball over compared to others.

The Gunslinger Superstar ability grants faster throws and speeds up the arm animation for quarterbacks. Being able to get the ball out quicker can be the difference between a first down and a sack for negative yards, especially if the window of opportunity is small to deliver a completed pass in tight coverage.

3 High Point Deadeye

The rule of thumb for receivers catching passes is to try and attack the ball at its highest point. Usually, receivers are taller than defenders and can use their height advantage (and stricter defending rules) to win contested battles for passes.

High Point Deadeye greatly improves accuracy on high throws but only on throws under 20 yards. While this ability might not be useful on the 50-yard Hail Mary you had in mind, it’ll definitely make a major impact in the red zone when the field shrinks or if you’re looking to simply move the chains for a first down.

2 Red Zone Deadeye

Once you reach the opposing 20-yard line, you’re officially in the red zone. Defenses tighten up, offenses tend to be a bit more conservative, and passing opportunities dwindle making it harder to get receivers the ball.

Quarterbacks need to remain calm, cool, and collected in the red zone, so it helps to have Red Zone Deadeye. This Superstar ability gives perfect pass accuracy on all throws in the red zone. It doesn’t matter if it’s a short throw, inside the pocket, outside the pocket, on the run, or standing still, this ability boosts the quarterback’s accuracy across the board.

1 Fearless

Quarterbacks face intense pressure from the opposing defense that other players simply don’t have to experience. Whether it’s massive defensive tackles or speedy cornerbacks on a blitz, quarterbacks have to be aware of multiple pass rushers attempting to sack them.

Reducing that pressure can significantly improve an offense, making Fearless the best Superstar ability for a quarterback in Madden 24. This ability makes the passer immune to any defensive pressure while in the pocket. If you have to scramble outside the pocket, the ability won’t be active anymore, so make sure you stand firm in the pocket and you’ll be rewarded.
