FIFA 23 Lengthy Players Explained | How to make & what does it mean? 

FIFA 23 was finally released last month, and it had some interesting major upgrades from its predecessors. The new FIFA features the brand-new Hyper Motion 2 technology with the new AcceleRATE system, which has significantly changed the game’s meta.  

This new feature is only available for the players of FIFA 23 on Playstation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. It categorizes each player into a certain acceleration archetype, namely “Lengthy,” “Controlled,” or “Explosive,” which affect their speed across long distances in the game. 

• Lengthy: The Lengthy player types are taller and stronger, who start with a slow speed but gradually keep increasing acceleration over distance. 

• Controlled: The Controlled types are the default players that accelerate uniformly. 

• Explosive: The Explosive players are shorter and agile. They gain an initial burst of acceleration and then slow down over time. 

Due to this categorization, the lengthy players have immediately become the meta and fan-favorite because, theoretically, even low-stat lengthy players can become faster than any other player in the game if they are given enough distance to accelerate their speed.
