What is AcceleRATE in EA FC 24?

The Accelerate feature is the archetype that determines each player’s pace while running on the pitch. These are crafted by combining four basic stats: acceleration, height, agility, and strength.

Depending on the percentage involved from each one of those, the outcome will be an AcceleRATE type. This not only makes each player and the game, in general, more realistic, but it also gives users a chance to be more strategic when building their teams, as they must think which type of AcceleRATE is better to use on an attacker to beat a certain midfielder or defender and vice-versa.

Controlled is the most common AcceleRATE type. Players under this category move in a more balanced and controlled manner. Explosive groups together shorter and more agile players that start quickly but slow down after the initial burst of acceleration.

And Lenghty features taller and stronger players that start slow but get faster over longer distances once in full stride.

Here is an explanation of how the new AcceleRATE percentages work in EA FC 24.

  • Controlled Explosive – 50% Explosive, 50% Controlled
  • Mostly Explosive – 70% Explosive, 30% Controlled
  • Controlled Lengthy – 50% Lengthy, 50% Controlled
  • Mostly Lengthy – 70% Lengthy, 30% Controlled
