EAFIFA 23 introduced AcceleRATE player traits into Ultimate Team for the first time, and players want to know the best options for each running style. Here’s what you need to know about the ‘controlled’ AcceleRATE trait and the best players who have it.
FIFA 23, for the first time in the series’ history, has broken players up into certain running styles based on their body composition and in-game statistics.
The slower but more physically imposing players (like Antonio Rudiger) are lengthy, the quicker but smaller players (like Lorenzo Insigne) are explosive and the rest are controlled.
With November 16’s Title Update 4 bringing the AcceleRATE traits back into community focus, we’re running through the very best controlled cards your FUT coins can buy.
FIFA 23 ‘controlled’ AcceleRATE trait explained
So what makes a player controlled? Whereas lengthy and explosive need specific body types and stats, controlled players are basically those that do not meet the criteria for either.
Controlled is a bit like a default AcceleRATE trait, seeing players in this category sprint uniformly and in a consistent manner.
As a result, there’s also a greater variety of players under the controlled banner.
