What are the new features gamers can expect in EA Sports UFC 5?
When EA Sports UFC 5 hits the market on October 27, players can anticipate notable enhancements within the virtual octagon. Game developers have revealed these improvements, which encompass fresh animations for ground and pound strikes, including elbows and body punches, as well as the introduction of new spinning attacks and calf kicks to diversify combat strategies.
A standout addition is the implementation of a physics-based hit reaction system, designed to ensure fighters react more authentically during their battles. In addition to animation updates, the game introduces new features like an online career mode, a revamped submission system, and a transition to the Frostbite engine.
An important development to note is the game's M-rating, suggesting players can expect heightened realism with more damage and blood in their gameplay experience. This increased authenticity may even result in some fights ending due to doctor's stoppage.
