All EA Sports FC 24 acceleration types explained: Lengthy, Explosive, Controlled, more

The AcceleRATE feature introduced in FIFA 23 is making a return in EA Sports FC 24, this time with even more pace types on offer. Here’s a breakdown of every acceleration type in EA FC 24, including Lengthy, Explosive, Controlled, and more.

EA Sports FC 24 is set to arrive in September, kicking off the next era of football games under a brand-new name. Fans can look forward to plenty of innovations across modes like Career Mode and Ultimate Team, including the new PlayStyles and Evolutions.

But among all the fresh gameplay features in EA FC 24, the devs are also doubling down on a number of elements from the previous year. This includes the controversial AcceleRATE system, which is back again with even different acceleration types to take into account.

Here’s everything you need to know about AcceleRATE in EA FC 24, as well as a breakdown of every acceleration type.

What is AcceleRATE in EA Sports FC 24?

EA FC 24’s AcceleRATE system assigns each player in the game an archetype that determines how they use their pace when running for the ball. These types are decided by a combination of a player’s acceleration stat, height, agility, and strength.

The main goal is to make each individual player feel as realistic as possible, as well as ensure that defenders that might be slower on paper still have a fighting chance against pacey strikers and wingers.

For example, Kylian Mbappe will have a higher pace stat than most players in EA FC 24, but tall defenders with longer strides will be able to catch him over long distances thanks to their acceleration type.
