EA Sports UFC 5 has been revealed, and Electronic Arts’ upcoming mixed martial arts simulation looks to be its most impressive effort yet. ComingSoon was able to attend a virtual preview event, and while we weren’t able to go hands-on, we got to get insight from the developers and its impressive systems explained. As an avid player of past games, it left me highly impressed and thrilled to see the development team looking to genuinely innovate and improve upon an already solid base.
The damage isn’t just an impressive visual; it has an impact on the fight as well. If your fighter has his nose broken then his stamina will take longer to recover as he can’t breathe as well. Has bruising caused his vision to blur? He’s more vulnerable to punches on that side of his face just like in real life. This adds additional depth to the gameplay as you can come up with a game plan and implement that strategy during fights.
The core gameplay has also been overhauled, with plenty of new striking animations being added. However, the more exciting changes come in the realm of grappling as UFC 5 features a new transition-based submission system that allows for faster animations. While submissions were mini-games in past titles, that has changed here. Instead, players will use the left and right sticks to finish them — with there being similar counters and denials for the fighter on the defensive.
