Real impact system:

What makes an MMA fight real? It's the stakes, the technique, the drama and the sheer reality of the moment. UFC 5 captures that in more authentic detail than ever before, from next-generation graphics upgrades that give gameplay animations new life, injury systems that combine fighting game brutality and strategy, gameplay updates that make the action even smoother and more realistic, and much more.

Authentic damage:

Cuts, bruises and swelling occur at precise locations based on the injuries you inflict and collect in the game, including more than 64,000 possible combinations of facial injuries a fighter can sustain. All injuries are now rendered in more detail than ever before and affect character traits in a truly authentic way. Causing a cut on the forehead of opponents that causes blood to drip into the eye will impair vision and cause them to suffer more injuries on that side because they do not see the attacks coming. Break opponents' noses to hinder their breathing and delay their recovery of stamina. If your characters receive too many low calf kicks, they begin to limp and their mobility is reduced. Authentic Damage adds brand new capabilities to combat.

Art Controls and Interruptions:

Authentic Damage provides authentic results. If the player suffers significant injuries, such as a broken nose or swollen eye, the referee can now intervene, interrupt the action and ask the ringside physician to inspect the injuries. If the player is unable to change tactics and protect the injured body part from blows, the doctor can stop the fight, just like in the real Octagon. This gives players more strategic chances to survive.

New attacks and reactions to hits and kicks:

Attacks have evolved. UFC 5 features all-new animations for ground and pound elbows, spinning attacks and various other punches, kicks, knees and elbows. In addition, new attack animations mimic powerhouses, professional kickboxers and more, giving you entirely new ways to land standing punches. In addition, new animations for blows, kicks and physics ensure that you feel the impact of a clean connection.

Seamless Submissions:

The new Seamless Submissions acts as an updated extension of the existing grappling system with faster animations and the removal of mini-games. Beginners can use Grapple Assist for help on the mat, while veterans can enjoy more depth. The new submissions offer a smoother and more authentic gameplay experience that will delight ground combat enthusiasts.

Features:
Frostbite engine:

For the first time in franchise history, the Frostbite™ engine is driving EA SPORTS UFC, with unparalleled graphical upgrades for console games. From dynamic lighting and revised true-to-life characters to realistic hairstyles and textile animations: Frostbite brings the action in the Octagon to life.

Cinematic k.o. replay:

This unique new Cinematic K.O. Replay highlights UFC's remarkable presentation updates in a truly innovative way. With the powerful Frostbite, players can now revisit their final battle in stunning visual glory. Captured in super slow motion with cinematic camera angles and lighting, the impact of decisive blows looks more authentic and beautiful than ever before as blood flies around and flesh bruises, turning your devastating knockout into a true work of art.

Advanced Realistic Fighters:

Thanks to Frostbite and a significant upgrade to our lighting and rendering features including dual-lobe skin and eye shadows, hair strands, updated body types and leading facial animation technology - the fighters you know so well have never looked so authentic.

Visual Effects:

It's all about impact. Improved accuracy means that when fighters absorb attacks, the results on their faces and bodies are authentically and horrifyingly rendered. Plus, new fluid dynamics and particle systems ensure that blood and sweat drip and splash like it does during intense action in the Octagon.

Authentic Mercy Strikes:

From newly added draw in offline and online play to realistic updates on how the referee intervenes to save a downed fighter from too much ground-and-pound, the number of ways a fight can end in UFC 5 has grown in number and authenticity.

NEW IN-GAME CINEMATICS

Characteristic turn-ups, breathtaking knockouts and everything in between. Frostbite provides brand new cinematic moments, where attention to detail and realism make you feel like you're in the arena during a sold-out UFC PPV. From the cheers of the crowd to Bruce Buffer's iconic introductions, new in-game cinematics provide a totally new level of excitement, authenticity and immersion in UFC 5.

Game modes:
Fight week:

UFC 5 is rightfully an extension of the UFC fan experience, and there's no better example than the all-new Fight Week challenges, features and content that engage fans in groundbreaking UFC events in a way never before seen.

Fight Week Challenges:

In the week leading up to and following all major UFC events, players will have access to temporary Fight Week Challenges. These challenges allow players to access rewards inspired by those events, including new Alter Egos, Vanity Items for their own fighters, customization tools for player profiles and fighter emotes.

Fight picks:

Now available before actual UFC events: players can make predictions for the main event of each PPV. Players are automatically placed in the Fight Picks ranking pools after making their picks, with custom friend rankings also accessible. After the event, top ranked players earn UFC Coins.

Fight week contracts:

Fight Week Contracts give players daily fight offers where they can compete against AI opponents with preset gameplay settings. Players can earn in-game currency by showing up and winning, while the difficulty of the contracts increases throughout the week. The player's cumulative wins, defeats and mercy strokes are tracked on the Contracts tab.

Progression and rewards:
Alter egos:

With new looks and skills, the Alter Egos let you play as your favorite fighters during their authentic career-defining moments (such as an iconic UFC debut, capturing the title, and more), in addition to Alter Egos only possible in UFC 5.

Punch card:

Play the game to work your way through a series of predetermined rewards, including in-game currency, player profile customizations, Vanity Items for your own fighters and Alter Egos. In addition, completing Profile Challenges rewards players with XP that takes their Punch Card earning power to the next level.

Online career mode:

Players asked for it: we listened. Online Career works with skill-based matchmaking, division progression and title fights in four divisions. Players can play with a different Created Fighter in each division, allowing players to showcase multiple character customizations and Vanity Items.

Online fighter evolution:

Fighting in Online Career matches earns Evolution Points that can be used to improve your Created Fighter's attributes, moves and perks. When players reach the maximum level for a fighter, they differentiate again, resetting their evolution to the starting point for a new fighter. The maximum level is then increased and you gain access to additional moves and perks.

Xp boosts:

XP Boosts increase the rate at which players temporarily earn Evolution Points while participating in Online Career battles. Boosts can be obtained as in-game rewards, giving players more incentive to get into the Octagon.

Career Mode:

Career Mode features an all-new introduction, bringing back Coach Davis to guide the player through their UFC career with new cinematics, new locations and a refined focus on the first encounter. With an upgrade for training camps, players can simulate their training camp and sparring exercises to achieve the best fitness and get to fights faster. In addition, sparring sessions include Challenge Packs, which allow players to earn a rank based on the number of challenges completed.

Fight Now Experiences:

A restructuring of the Fight Now experience offers a host of authentic MMA/UFC match types for the popular mode, including Main Card, Main Event, Championship, Backyard and Kumite.

Play Styles:

Players can now customize their favorite individual play styles across all game modes. From Simulation playstyle, which uses real-time rounds, heavier injuries and stamina depletion to mimic an authentic fighting experience, to Knockout, where life recovery is disabled and unlimited stamina and combinations apply, and Stand and Bang, where the action takes place exclusively standing: the choice is yours.
