1. What is Pace Rating?

The Pace rating in FIFA represents how fast a player can run. It's a combination of acceleration (how quickly a player reaches top speed) and sprint speed (the player's maximum running speed).

2. How is Pace Calculated?

The Pace rating is calculated using the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Acceleration \) — How quickly the player reaches top speed (0-99)
• \( Sprint\ Speed \) — The player's maximum running speed (0-99)

Explanation: The Pace rating is the average of these two attributes, representing a player's overall speed capability.

3. Importance of Pace in FIFA

Details: Pace is one of the most important attributes in FIFA, especially for attackers and wingers. Players with high pace can outrun defenders, create scoring opportunities, and are generally more effective in counter-attacking situations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both Acceleration and Sprint Speed ratings (values between 0-99). The calculator will compute the Pace rating by averaging these two values.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's considered a good Pace rating?
A: Generally, 80+ is good, 85+ is very good, and 90+ is exceptional. Most professional attackers have pace ratings in the 80-95 range.

Q2: Can Pace be higher than 99?
A: No, the maximum rating in FIFA is 99 for any attribute, including Pace.

Q3: Which is more important, Acceleration or Sprint Speed?
A: It depends on position. Acceleration is more important for quick bursts (like dribbling), while Sprint Speed matters more for long runs.

Q4: Do all positions need high Pace?
A: No, while important for attackers and wingers, central defenders and goalkeepers typically have lower Pace ratings as it's less crucial for their roles.

Q5: How does Pace affect gameplay?
A: Higher Pace allows players to outrun opponents, reach loose balls first, and create separation from defenders.
