The long pace attribute, a component of the new AcceleRATE gameplay dynamic, has garnered the attention of the whole Ultimate Team community since FIFA 23 launched at the end of September.
While some players inherently possess it due to their size and in-game numbers, other players may be made to seem longer with the correct chemistry and playing style. As a result, they become powerful, challenging to defeat, and, in the eyes of some players, superior.
English-speaking gamers observed that the official EA notes for FIFA 23's first official patch said that a 14 rating differential between Strength and Agility is required in order to attain a "lengthy" rating.
Cards must have Strength that is 15 rating points or more than their Agility rating, according to the German translation of the pitch notes, which presented the figures differently. As a result, players are uncertain about the precise criteria for making their players long.
Although some players have been unable to make their cards long despite achieving the seeming criteria, it seems that the initial assumption of a 14-stat difference is inaccurate. Players must apparently acquire a 15 rating gap between their Strength and Agility ratings.
As was the case previously, an Architect chemistry style is the most dependable method to strengthen the card (providing up to a +15 Strength benefit) and give you the desirable meta AcceleRATE attribute. Additionally, it makes it significantly tougher for cards to get long if they are not natural.
The Measures They Apply
The AcceleRATE technology in FIFA 23 thereby redefines player speed. Players are divided into three acceleration kinds by EA according to their height, strength, and agility.
Players under control provide a balanced acceleration. Short athletes with more agility and less strength are examples of explosive acceleration. These players accelerate quickly before progressively slowing down. Last but not least, long athletes may equal taller players in power and agility by starting slowly but quickly outpacing opponents in full stride after a given distance.
The FIFA 23 community noticed that long players like Karim Benzema and Erling Haaland are among the game's most powerful characters. The ground-breaking finding does have a catch, however.
A player's AcceleRATE attribute may be changed into long by utilizing an Architect Chemistry Style, while some characters are already naturally lengthy.
A 14 rating differential in Strength and Agility is required, according to EA, for a player's attribute to be changed to long in FIFA 23's first update.
However, according to the pitch notes' German translation, cards must have a Strength Rating of at least 15 points greater than their Agility rating.
EA said it is investigating the inconsistency. EA said that the (Strength - Agility) value for certain players must be higher and cannot be equal to 14 for long and vice versa for explosive.
However, the creators did not state which players are prohibited from having an (Agility - Strength) value equal to 1. Although there is still some uncertainty about the science behind FIFA's AcceleRATE system, we will continue to inform you as we learn more about it.
