The AcceleRATE feature from FIFA 23 was quite popular among fans and EA FC 24 has brought it back with many improvements. To know how different acceleration types work and the basis on which players get them, here’s everything to know about the EA FC 24 AcceleRATE system.

EA’s partnership with FIFA ended in 2023, leading to a rebranding of the franchise and the launch of EA FC 24. Although a lot of the core gameplay is the same, you’ll quickly notice the myriad of small yet significant changes in Ultimate Team, Career mode, and other features.

The AcceleRATE feature which originally arrived with FIFA 23 has also improved in EA FC 24. To promote realistic gameplay, the developers have added more parameters that affect a player’s acceleration and you’d want to learn the ins and outs of this system for seamless progress.

On that note, here’s everything to know about AcceleRATE in EA FC 24.

What is AcceleRATE in EA FC 24?

EA FC 24’s AcceleRATE system assigns each player in the game an archetype that decides 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 who 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 might be able to catch him over long distances thanks to their acceleration type.

Each acceleration type has a huge impact on pace in EA FC 24.

Every acceleration type in EA FC 24

There are a total of seven different acceleration types in EA FC 24, four more than in FIFA 23. The three core types from last year, Controlled, Lengthy, and Explosive, are back again, but more incremental varieties have been added to make each player feel unique.

Check out every acceleration type in EA FC 24 below, along with their descriptions:

Acceleration Type	Description

How EA FC 24 acceleration types are decided?

EA FC 24’s acceleration types are decided by a combination of physical stats, which were outlined before launch in the early Pitch Notes. Check them out below:

Type	Height	Agility	Strength	Acceleration	Agility vs Strength Difference
Explosive (Pure)	<= 175 cm (~5’9’’) [5’9.3 ft / 176.2 cm]	>= 80	—	>= 80	>= 20
Mostly Explosive	<= 182 cm (~6’0’’) [6’0 ft / 183.1 cm]	>= 70	—	>= 80	>= 12
Controlled Explosive	<= 182 cm (~6’0’’) [ 6’0 ft / 183.1 cm]	>= 65	—	>= 70	>= 4
Controlled	Any	Any	Any	Any	Any
Controlled Lengthy	>= 181 cm (~5’11’’) [5’11.1 ft / 180.6 cm]	—	>= 65	>= 40	>= 4
Mostly Lengthy	>= 183 cm (~6’0’’) [5’11.8 / 182.57 cm]	—	>= 75	>= 55	>= 12
Lengthy (Pure)	>= 188 cm (~6’2’’) [6’1.8 ft / 187.45 cm]	—	>= 80	>= 55	>= 20

That was everything you need to know about every AcceleRATE type in EA FC 24. These stats are already having a major impact on the meta, so be sure to take them into account when signing a new player.
