EA FC 24 revamped the iconic AcceleRATE system from the FIFA days and added four new acceleration types.
EA FC 24 introduces an enhanced AcceleRATE system, adding four new types of acceleration to bring player movements closer to reality. From ‘Controlled Explosive’ to ‘Mostly Lengthy,’ this guide unpacks the revamped feature for an in-depth understanding.
The system’s evolution from FIFA 23 categorizes players based on unique combinations of stats into three distinct types, enriching the gameplay experience.
FIFA 23’s AcceleRATE system divided players into three categories; lengthy, explosive, and controlled, based on a combination of different stats.
Lengthy players took over the game’s meta, as players such as Erling Haaland and Virgil Van Dijk blew by defenders and locked up strikers, respectively. EA eventually nerfed lengthy players, but it re-contextualized how players felt about taller and stronger players.
Let’s jump right into how AcceleRATE works in the game.

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 in order 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
