FROSTBITE ENGINE
For the first time in series history, Frostbite™ powers EA SPORTS UFC, bringing the most graphical enhancements ever seen in a console game. Featuring dynamic lighting and character realism, including lifelike hair and cloth animations, Frostbite helps bring the action in the Octagon to life.

REPLAY KO CINEMATICO
Significant updates to UFC 5’s presentation are highlighted by the all-new Cinematic KO Replay feature. Leveraging the power of Frostbite, players will now be able to relive their final blows in stunning visual fidelity. Captured in super slow motion with cinematic lighting and angles, the impact of a fight’s final blows feels more authentic and compelling than ever before – with realistic blood drips and bruises, your KOs become works of art.

ADVANCED FIGHTER APPEARANCE
Thanks to Frostbite and significantly improved lighting and rendering capabilities, including dual-lobe skin and eye shadow effects, realistic-looking hair, updated fighter body types, and unmatched facial animation technology, your favorite fighters have never looked so authentic.

VISUAL EFFECTS
Impact is everything. Improved fidelity means punches shake the fighters' faces and bodies in an authentic and surprising way. Plus, new fluid and particle physics systems make blood and sweat drip and splash just like they do in the real octagon.

AUTHENTIC CONCLUSIONS
With the addition of new draws in both online and offline modes and realistic updates to the way the referee intervenes when a fighter is down to prevent them from taking excessive damage during ground and pound, UFC 5 features an even greater variety of realistic ways to end a fight.

NEW GAMEPLAY VIDEOS
Special entrances, jaw-dropping knockouts and more. Frostbite brings all-new cinematics to life, with attention to detail and unparalleled fighter authenticity that make you feel like you’re in the arena at a sold-out UFC PPV event. From the roars of the crowd to Bruce Buffer’s legendary introductions, new in-game cinematics take the excitement, authenticity and immersion of UFC 5 to new heights.

REAL IMPACT SYSTEM
What are the key ingredients of an MMA fight? The stakes, the technique, the drama and the raw reality of the moment. UFC 5 captures these characteristics in more authentic detail than ever before, thanks to next-generation graphical enhancements that bring new in-game animations to life, damage systems that match the brutality and strategy of the fight, gameplay updates that make the action even smoother and more realistic, and so much more.
Real damage
Cuts, bruises, and swellings stack in accurate locations based on damage dealt and taken throughout the game, including over 64,000 possible facial damage combinations. All damage is now rendered in the most detailed way ever, impacting character attributes in truly unique ways. Inflicting a cut on an opponent’s forehead that drips blood into their eye can impair their vision and cause them to take more damage on that side because they can’t see incoming blows. Break your opponent’s nose to hinder their breathing and slow their stamina recovery. Taking too many low kicks to the calf will cause your character to limp and their mobility to decrease. Authentic damage adds new strategic possibilities to the match.

Doctor's checks and interruptions
Authentic damage has authentic results. If you suffer a serious injury, like a broken nose or a swollen eye, the referee can now step in, pause the action, and have the medic examine your wounds. If you don't change tactics by protecting the injured area to avoid taking hits, just like in the real-life octagon, the medic may stop the fight. This gives players more strategic opportunities to dominate or survive.

NEW HITS AND REACTIONS TO HITS
Striking Evolution. UFC 5 features new animations for ground and pound elbows, spin attacks, and more punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. Plus, new striking animations simulate powerhouses, pro kickboxers, and more, giving you new ways to get up and strike. Plus, new strike reaction animations and physics bring the realism of impact to the fight.

CONTINUOUS SUBMISSIONS
The new continuous submission system acts as an expanded and revamped version of the existing grappling systems, with faster animations and the removal of mini-games. Newcomers can use grappling assists to get help on the mat, while veterans will have new aspects to explore and dig into. The new submissions offer a more fluid and authentic ground game, ideal for grappling enthusiasts.

FIGHT WEEK
UFC 5 is a true extension of the UFC fan experience, and there’s no better example of this than the new content, challenges and features of Fight Week, which brings major UFC events to the game in a completely new way.
Fight Week Challenges
In the week before and after all the biggest UFC events, players will have access to limited-time Fight Week Challenges. These challenges offer the opportunity to unlock rewards inspired by these events, including new alter egos, created fighter cosmetics, player profile customization assets, and fighter emotes.

Meeting choices
Now available before real UFC events, players can make predictions for the main card of each PPV event. Players are automatically placed on the fight pick leaderboards after making their pick, with custom friend leaderboards also available. After the event, players at the top of the leaderboard will earn UFC Coins.

Fight Week Contracts
Fight Week Contracts present players with a daily selection of matches where they can face off against AI opponents based on predefined game settings. In-game currency can be earned by showing up and winning, with Contracts increasing in difficulty throughout the week. A player's cumulative wins, losses, and finishes are tracked in the Contracts tab.

PROGRESS AND REWARDS
Alter ego
From appearance to abilities, Alter Egos let you play as your favorite fighters at key moments in their careers (such as a fighter's legendary UFC debut, title shot, and more), as well as Alter Egos unique to UFC 5.
Punch Card
Play to earn and earn a variety of pre-determined rewards, including in-game currency, player profile customizations, cosmetics for created fighters, and alter egos. Additionally, completing profile challenges grants players XP that level up the chance to earn their own Punch Card.

ONLINE CAREER MODE
Coming soon by popular demand. Online Career features skill-based matchmaking, division progression, and a title race across four divisions. Players can compete with a different created fighter in each division, allowing players to showcase more character customization and cosmetics.

Online fighter evolution
By fighting in online career matches, you can earn evolution points that can be used to improve the attributes, moves, and perks of your created fighter. Reaching a fighter's maximum level earns you prestige, which resets their evolution to the starting point of a new fighter, but increases the maximum level achievable and unlocks access to additional moves and perks.

XP boosts increase the rate at which players earn evolution points by competing in online career matches for a limited time. These boosts can be earned as in-game rewards, giving players more incentive to step into the octagon.

CAREER MODE
Career Mode features an all-new introduction that sees the return of Coach Davis to guide the player through his UFC career with new cinematics, new environments and a focus on combat introduction. An enhancement to Training Camp allows players to simulate training and sparring drills to get into peak physical shape and get to fights faster. Additionally, sparring sessions include challenge packs that award players a rank based on the number of challenges completed.

EXPERIENCES FIGHT NOW
A revamped Fight Through experience now features a full range of authentic MMA/UFC fight types in the fan-favorite mode, including Main Card, Main Event, Championship, Backyard, and Kumite.

Play Styles
Players can now customize their preferred individual playstyle across all game modes. From Simulation Playstyle, which uses real-time rounds, increased damage, and stamina drain to simulate an authentic combat experience, to Knockout Playstyle, which disables health regeneration and applies unlimited combos and stamina, to Stand and Strike, which keeps the action strictly on your feet, the choice is yours.
