Users analyzed overclocking styles in FIFA 23 and found the best one

In the new part of FIFA, the developers have tried to change the familiar concept of the speed of football players and now the numbers on the card do not quite reflect the real speed of a football player in the game. In total, three types of acceleration have been added with their own characteristics, and for some players in the Ultimate Team, it is possible to change the type of acceleration by applying a chemistry style.

Consider all types

EXPLOSIVE - given to football players with agility over 65, acceleration over 74, height less than 180 cm and the difference between agility and strength must exceed 15 points in favor of agility. Prominent representatives of such acceleration are Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sadio Mane, Bernardo Silva and others, and its feature is a quick set of speed.

LONG - given to football players with strength over 65, acceleration over 55, height over 174 cm and the difference between strength and agility must exceed 14 points in favor of agility. This type of acceleration is typical of often massive players like Virgil van Dijk, Rafael Varane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and so on. The player's data needs time to gain momentum.

CONTROLLED is the most standard boost we're used to seeing in all parts of the game and is given to all players who don't have any of the previous boost types.

Each type is good in its own way, but FIFA 23 fans delved into the study of this topic and came to the conclusion that the best type of acceleration is LONG. With this acceleration, the player needs time to gain momentum, but then he runs faster than the other two types. That is why in the game you could often notice a situation when the conditional Ruben Dias with a speed of 55 was catching up with your attacker with a speed of 80 or more, however, with an explosive or CONTROLLED acceleration style.

It is also worth noting that in Ultimate Team you can change the chemistry styles on the card, and some of them also change the type of acceleration. An example is Jules Kunde from FC Barcelona:

This is how his map looks without chemistry style and has CONTROLLED acceleration

And this is what it looks like after applying the Arrow/Architect/Anchor chemistry style. As you can see, the type of acceleration has changed.

At the moment, in the Ultimate Team mode itself, the developers have not made it possible to check what type of acceleration a particular player has and you yourself will have to calculate the parameters, however, sites specializing in FIFA 23 have already done this for you.
