Game elements:
Real-Time Exertion – UFC combat is one of the most physically demanding sports. With Real-Time Exertion, you’ll experience burst veins, skin discoloration, muscle tension, and signs of fatigue in every round, further enhancing your gameplay experience. Experience the exertion that the world’s best fighters must endure.

Fighter Likeness and Facial Animations – EA SPORTS UFC sets a new standard for character and emotion in gaming. Every licensed fighter in the game has been created from high-resolution 3D head and body scans for maximum character fidelity. With EA SPORTS IGNITE and new facial animation technology, you’ll see more facial expressions and emotions, further enhancing the atmosphere in the Octagon.

Full Body Collision Deformer – Until now, the simulation of physical contact between fighters has been limited to bodies barely touching each other. This made fighters act and look more like plastic figures than elite athletes. The team that revolutionized the sport with the realistic physics of Fight Night has changed the game again – an all-new full body deformation system takes care of the movement of a fighter’s body in real time. For the first time ever, the force of every takedown or single punch will feel truly believable.

Precision Movement – MMA is a sport of inches, where every step counts and every move matters. Powered by the EA SPORTS IGNITE engine, the Precision Movement system eliminates the unrealistic sliding around in the ring. More realistic movement means more realistic action, more believable strikes and takedowns.

Dynamic Striking – Mixed martial arts fighters use the environment to their advantage; for the first time ever in a UFC game, you’ll be able to do the same. The dynamic environment lets you use the Octagon to execute moves like outside arc kicks, superman punches, and more. Combine these capabilities with the industry’s best striking technology to deliver the perfect attack that can turn the tide of a fight.

Strategic Submission Battles – To win the belt, you must dominate both the ground and the feet. The team behind EA SPORTS UFC has reimagined ground combat to create a true battle for position and control. Just like in real life, fighters in EA SPORTS UFC will go through various phases to force their opponent to submit or escape from the situation.

Real Damage – Every fighter knows that one good punch can ruin your day. EA SPORTS UFC features a non-linear damage system that lets you witness the massive damage inflicted by a single punch. The system creates a wide variety of cuts and bruises never seen before in a fighting game.

Fighter Artificial Intelligence (MMAi) – The mind of a mixed martial arts fighter is as important as their heart. Each licensed fighter in the game will change their goals and plans based on their real-life tendencies and each fight situation. Thwart your opponents’ Plan A and they’ll switch to Plan B or C. A smarter opponent equals a more difficult and unpredictable fight.
