EA Sports has installed a new pace system in FIFA 23. Yes, you've read correctly. Pace isn't everything anymore. The players are divided into different styles of running – and that's really cool. We show you what's really behind that and how you can perfectly use it for yourself to get the best rewards in the Weekend League.

Pace is still the most important factor in FIFA 23, but with the latest Title Update 9 the pace meta shifts to a very specific type of player.

In total, in FIFA 23 – apart from the well-known pace stat – there are three new sprint types for all players. It is differentiated between "Explosive", "Lengthy" and "Controlled". While Explosive supports the smaller, more agile players, who are especially quick on the first few meters, Lengthy is the exact opposite. Lengthy is the style for bigger and taller pros, who start off slower and reach their full speed at the end of their sprint. Most players have the controlled style, which accelerates more evenly.

The idea behind that is that defenders are often categorized as Lengthy, so they can catch up to Explosive strikers after the first meters. This feature is next gen exclusive buy FIFA 23 Coins, which means you don't feel any of it on your PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
