Since Version 27, I haven't revealed the acceleration thresholds because of a tricky issue: above 88 acceleration, the difference in stride frequency no longer exists. To clarify: before Version 27, exceeding 88 acceleration only affected stride length, which is why people talked about the '88 threshold.' As I mentioned in the comments a few days ago, that 88 threshold is gone.
See the details in the chart below:
Acceleration 100 Vs Acceleration 97
(Now, every single stat point above 90 Acceleration alters stride frequency, causing character animations to become desynchronized.)
Because the animations are desynchronized, it's impossible to use the player's foot position to verify the 5 cm difference that each point of Acceleration adds. For the past month, I've been constantly trying to figure out which part of the body to use as a baseline, but haven't found a good solution yet. Today, after gaining new inspiration from AI, I decompiled the program:
Analysis: According to the code, off-the-ball player acceleration is divided into two phases: acceleration is high at lower speeds and decreases as they approach top speed.
The complete data plot is shown below—
Figures 1 and 2 show the acceleration at low and high speeds, respectively, while Figure 3 displays the time taken to reach top speed.
All of these lead to the same conclusion: in the current version (Version 27), the acceleration thresholds are 90 and 60. The returns/stat efficiency from 90 to 120 is two-thirds (2/3) of what it is below 90.
If I understand correctly, the threshold is 90 not because you need 90 to compete. It is 90 because increasing to 91 and beyond is less efficient. It only gives 2/3 of the previous benefit. But there is no info on how much you need.
I guess you can look at how balance and OA is effected. like if I build this card with maximum acc he ends up with a ton of wasted points over his max balance plus a level of OA that is useless even if I make him AMF
Como umbral concreto no, pero como un punto de equilibrio a la hora de realizar una build sí lo sigue siendo, aunque eso dependerá del jugador al que estés haciendo la build y de tus necesidades en el equipo.
Important to note that these data plots do not represent actual observations but predictions. Amadeusz writes that on the plots. These predictions are based upon a formula whose source is seemingly unclear (using AI and "deompiling the program" seems to imply the source code is being looked at, but I'd like to know the details of that source code to understand it and infer conclusions more reliably rather than apparently trusting an LLM chatbot to get it right?)
I would just say the results are inconclusive and we need more research and better methodology to find the true effects of Acceleration in the present patch.
I'd advise people to stop chasing thresholds and build your players as optimal as possible. Every player has what they are good at, you don't have to force a player to be what they aren't because you're trying to chase thresholds.
People can go over board with their obsession over thresholds, but they're still important to keep in mind in case you don't have to compromise much on your other stats
That's literally why threasolds are so important. You can play a Van dijk because he can reach 88 acceleration otherwise he will be too slow to compete vs Ibra and tall strikers.
Thats exactly why knowing thresholds are important. If the returns are diminishing, you can just reach the threshold and focus more on other stats so that you can get the best out of the player.
Threshold never meant a total limit or barrier, they never meant that going past it awards nothing 🤷 (only threshold that means that in-game is 97 to 99 speed which apparently are exactly the same, but then 100 speed starts mattering again)
The word means a "transition", which is exactly what the post is talking about. Before it, things behave a certain way, after it, things change but don't stop existing or doing stuff
Thresholds keep increasing every update. Imo realistically for f2p 88 is still fine, no way we have enough free f2p cards that can get up to 90 in acceleration unfortunately
That’s the point of this stupid game, stats begin to mean less the more you have them. Plus Batistuta will outpace Desaily if the game conditions want it to happen with all the silly buffs and debuffs like mortal kombat.

So 90 is the new threshold?
