Powered by Frostbite, EA SPORTS UFC 5 represents the next evolution of the fighting game. From unparalleled graphical enhancements to all-new damage and medical pause systems that impact gameplay in truly authentic ways, this game is as real as it gets.

REAL STRIKE SYSTEM
What is MMA fighting about? The stakes, the technique, the drama, and the raw reality of every moment. UFC 5 captures that in more authentic detail than ever before. It does so with next-generation graphical enhancements that bring life to the game’s animations, an injury system that combines the brutality and strategy of combat, and gameplay updates that make the action even smoother and more authentic.

NEW REACTIONS TO STRIKES AND ATTACKS
The progress in this area is significant. UFC 5 introduces all-new animations for crushing elbows, strikes
from spins and many other punches and kicks with fists, legs, knees and elbows. In addition, new spectacular animations copy the fighting style of the best professional kickboxers, thanks to which you will gain new ways of conducting the fight and delivering blows. In addition, new animations and reaction physics will ensure that you will literally feel the effect of every clean hit.

SMOOTH SUBMISSIONS
The new Smooth Submission feature is a reworked expansion of the existing ground hold and choke system, with faster animations and no mini-games. Beginners can take advantage of the ground fight assist system, while seasoned veterans can explore the wide range of options available. The new submissions are smoother and the overall ground fight is more authentic, providing a satisfying moment for the fighter who is giving the hold or choke.
