The AcceleRATE functionality acts as an archetype that delineates a player’s Pace when on the field. It is determined by the interplay of four fundamental stats: Acceleration, Height, Agility, and Strength.

The combination of these stats results in a specific AcceleRATE type. This design enhances realism in gameplay, allowing players to adopt more strategic approaches when forming their teams. It requires one to think critically about which AcceleRATE type would best suit an attacker facing a particular midfielder or defender, and vice versa.

An Overview of the EA FC 25 AcceleRATE System

The Controlled type is the most prevalent within the AcceleRATE categories. This group comprises players who demonstrate a balanced and steady style of movement. In contrast, Explosive players are typically shorter and more agile, excelling in quick starts but losing speed shortly thereafter.

Meanwhile, the Lengthy classification includes taller and more robust players who begin slowly; however, they gain speed over greater distances, achieving their full potential in long strides.

Here’s how the AcceleRATE percentages operate in EA FC 25:

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