So I’ve just played a game where the following happened:His Kimmich with a powerhouse card (scored a pen) started behind my world tour Adama with an engine card and caught up with him and was about to go past him, and 5 mins later he burst past him just running out from right back. Again this was the start of a game so no stamina issue. so Adama has 95 acceleration and 95 sprint speed (both 99 with the +4 from the card) and is listed as controlled explosive. Kimmich has 77 acceleration and 62 sprint speed (not boosted with card) and is controlled explosive also, both players are 5’10 so it can’t be some random excuse like longer leg strides. To me, acceleration would be how quick a player is to with initial speed burst (say first 10-20’m in the 100m race) and sprint speed would be the out and out top end speed towards end of a race. So could someone at ea explain how this happens so often with players like Kimmich catching and being quicker than players like adama? This doesn’t even take into account the playstyles of rapid+ and quick step with adama. Please someone make this make any sense

It happens all the time in this game. I swear you just post to get ea attention and suck up to them. Everyone moans that slow defenders catch pacey strikers. Please refrain from commenting on any post I do again, your like an ea troll and I’ve yet to see you make one point where you make perfect sense.

I’m using the quicker player and being caught by a slower player for no obvious reason. You have completely missed the point of the post.

Radio, why do u never read the post before u write?

The guy played Kimmich! I know who I was playing against! Kimmich is slow or at least should be. Are you deliberately obtuse or is it just a natural talent to be a troll?

All UT ever did was fuel a game mode all about pace. Pace is supposed to be a luxury in certain areas of the pitch (usually out wide or striker down the middle). But UT made everyone believe football is only about speed.IRL there are so many factors to a football match and pace is only a part of it. Interesting how players like Pirlo, Modric etc... are received as greats yet UT would make you think otherwise since they don't have 99 pace.This game mode has brainwashed people. UT is not football it's olympic sprinting.Tbh I only play Seasons anyway. But UT has always bugged me for the whole pace is everything. Yuck. It represents 0 football and watching people skilling constantly from within their own half... well, just silly really.

Who can explain pace on this game?

@Stewdinho83 Pace is basically the most important stat. That’s why everyone goes pace over anything else. It would be nice to use top rated players that are slow but you just can’t.

@Bajenjerka86 I did do you disagree? Do you use a slow team? I realize one time someone slower beat him but that’s just not what happens. I mean I wish it was could you imagine how nice it would be to use slower defenders?

It is hugely frustrating. There are similar issues with regard to strength and height, eg 5ft 4in female full-backs muscling the likes of Adama Traore off the ball with absolute ease. And, logically, high OVR cards should be better than low OVR cards, but often that's not the case. That's why I still have an 82 OVR evo'd Werner up front :-)

And sadly it will be ignored by ea and forum reps here as they are too busy to responding to messages on here about all the bugs in this trash game

I don't know when this was in the match. Was the player not worn out and the slower player still had the energy?

@Stewdinho83 I got the point but you missed the point. Nobody uses slower players. This game is all about pace.
