What is Accelerate?


Accelerate was introduced in FIFA 23, exclusively for next-gen platforms, to refine player movement and running mechanics. Inspired by the nuanced differences in real-life footballers’ movements, even among those with similar speeds, Accelerate aims to replicate these variations on the virtual pitch.

FC 25 Accelerate enhances gameplay realism while also emphasizing player personalities and introducing a wider range of player types. It categorizes players into seven distinct running styles based on their acceleration and sustained speed capabilities.

How Types are Assigned


AcceleRATE is automatically assigned to players based on a combination of their Acceleration, Height, Agility, and Strength Attributes. However, Acceleration and Sprint Speed remain the primary factors determining a player’s overall speed.

The player type designation is set before kick-off, meaning it can be influenced by attribute changes like Chemistry before the match begins. However, it is not affected by attribute adjustments that occur during the game, such as stamina depletion.
Frequently Asked Questions
FC 25 Accelerate introduces an enhanced player movement system, categorizing players into three distinct archetypes: Controlled, Explosive, and Lengthy.

This system aims to differentiate between various running styles by classifying players into three groups based on their ability to accelerate quickly and sustain high speeds.
Lengthy is the most popular of the seven Accelerate types. Lengthy Players are incredibly powerful runners and perhaps even overpowered runners.
There are seven Accelerate archetypes but these three are the main ones:
  • Explosive
    Quicker to start, but the acceleration rate slows down.
  • Lengthy
    It starts slower but will thrive over longer distances.
  • Controlled
    Accelerate uniformly in a controlled manner.
Chemistry Styles have the ability to alter a player’s Accelerate type. When the game determines whether a player falls into the Lengthy, Explosive, or Controlled archetype before kick-off, it takes into account the player’s attributes after applying the Chemistry Style boosts. This means that a player initially classified as Controlled could potentially be reassigned to the Lengthy archetype if their in-game attributes, boosted by Chemistry Styles, meet the criteria for the different type.

However, not all players can undergo this change, as some attributes may remain too low even with the boosts from Chemistry Styles. Additionally, attributes like height, which influence the archetype, cannot be altered.
As FC 25 accelerate is mainly based on Agility, Strength, and Acceleration, only Chemistry Styles that boost those Attributes can change a player’s Accelerate type.

If you want to make your player Explosive, you will need to use Chemistry Styles that impact their Agility, such as Finisher, Artist, and Engine.

If you want to make your player Lengthy, you will need to use Chemistry Styles that impact their Strength, such as Architect, Backbone, Sniper, Hawk, Marksman, Sentinel, and Anchor.
You can view a player’s Accelerate type in-game by viewing the player stats page from the Team Management section.
No. Accelerate is an exclusive feature for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Accelerate Types


Accelerate is an expansion to the player movement system, dividing players into seven unique archetypes:

  • Explosive
    These players are quicker to start, but their acceleration rate slows down. They are shorter, more agile, and can quickly cover short distances and get ahead of their opponents, even if that means slowing down after the initial burst of acceleration.
  • HeightMax 175cm
    AgilityMin 80
    AccelerationMin 80
    Agility vs Strenght DifferenceMin 20

  • Mostly Explosive
    These players act as 70% explosive and 30% controlled.
  • HeightMax 182cm
    AgilityMin 70
    AccelerationMin 80
    Agility vs Strenght DifferenceMin 12

  • Controlled Explosive
    These players act as half explosive, half controlled.
  • HeightMax 182cm
    AgilityMin 65
    AccelerationMin 70
    Agility vs Strenght DifferenceMin 4

  • Controlled
    Most players in FC 25 will fall into the Controlled type as they accelerate uniformly in a controlled manner.
  • Any player not meeting the requirements of the other types

  • Controlled Lenghty
    These players act as half lenghty, half controlled.

  • HeightMin 181cm
    StrenghtMin 65
    AccelerationMin 40
    Agility vs Strenght DifferenceMin 4

  • Mostly Lenghty
    These players act as 70% lenghty and 30% controlled.
  • HeightMin 183cm
    StrenghtMin 75
    AccelerationMin 55
    Agility vs Strenght DifferenceMin 12

  • Lengthy
    These players start slower but will thrive over longer distances. They are taller, stronger, and need a bit more time to get going, but they can catch up to anyone and even surpass them, provided they have enough distance.
  • HeightMin 188cm
    StrenghtMin 80
    AccelerationMin 55
    Agility vs Strenght DifferenceMin 20


In short, Explosive players can likely do better at short distances and one-on-one situations than Lengthy players who will do better over long distances, such as in breakaways after a through ball behind the defense, for example.
