EA SPORTS UFC 5 key features

The most authentic UFC combat yet

All-new authentic damage system brings the intensity and strategy of a UFC fight to life, as strikes absorbed affect mobility, defence and stamina. Take too much damage, and the doctor will even check to see if you’re able to continue.

A cinematic finish

Admire your handiwork with new Cinematic K.O. Replays, capturing your fight-ending finishes in all their punishing glory. 

UFC Live

A completely revamped live service schedule builds exciting challenges to the game based on real world PPV fight weeks. 

Online career mode

Online Career includes skill-based matchmaking, division progression and title chases across four divisions. Players can compete with a different created fighter in each division, allowing players to showcase multiple character customizations and vanity Items.

EA SPORTS UFC 5 gameplay improvements

Authentic damage

Cuts, bruising and swelling accumulate based on the damage you inflict — and take — including over 64,000 possible combinations of facial damage that is rendered in more detail than ever before, realistically affecting character attributes.

Doctor's checks and stoppages

Authentic damage comes with authentic results. If the player sustains a significant injury — like a broken nose or swollen eye — the ref can now step in, pause the action and get the ringside doctor to inspect the damage.

Seamless submissions

A revamped extension of the existing grappling systems brings faster animations and the removal of mini-games. The new submissions offer a smoother, more authentic ground game that is sure to be a grappler’s delight.

New strikes and hit reactions

Introducing all-new animations for ground and pound elbows, spinning attacks and several other punches, kicks, knees and elbows. Plus, new striking animations emulate heavy hitters, professional kickboxers and more.
