What you need to know
Successful quarterbacks stay cool and stand confidently against the blitz. When they enter the zone, all blitzing linebackers and defensive backs are highlighted. Can be bluffed.

What players have figured out
Blitz highlighting that arrives long after the snaps where you needed it.It highlights extra blitzers once the quarterback is in the zone
The effect marks blitzing linebackers and defensive backs pre-snap, but only while the X-Factor is active. It is an information ability, so it does nothing for a player who already reads the front correctly.
The activation is the whole problem
The criticism on the EA forums is that it "has no practical use in activating because it is so hard to reach, and for barely any profit" — with the suggestion that it should have been a normal ability rather than an X-Factor. You have to survive the pressure to earn help against the pressure.
Unrated, and the listed requirements may be wrong
MUT.GG carries it as not properly tested, and warns that with several X-Factors sharing this name the activation and deactivation conditions shown may not match the version on your card.
Pre-snap reads are the cheaper answer
The abilities people actually run for blitz problems are the ones that change the play rather than describe it. Against nano-style pressure, the recurring advice in those threads is hot routes, protection slides and knowing the front — none of which cost AP.
