Happy Holiday’s EA SPORTS UFC Fans!
The December patch (6.0) is officially live! Make sure to update your game to the newest version to gain access to some exciting new content. This month we’ve added two new licensed fighters, Michael Chandler and Alex Perez. In the patch, you’ll find updates to gameplay, various game modes, fighter movesets, and fighter likenesses. As always you can find the full patch notes at the bottom of this article.
Since the launch of EA SPORTS UFC 4, there has been a significant amount of feedback from the community regarding knockouts, specifically around ragdoll physics. With this update, we’ve added a new type of knockout called “Lights Out” that will occur when you knock out your opponent with a high damage strike. These new knockouts will have drastically increased ragdoll physics and will cause the fight to end immediately without the fighter jumping on the downed opponent. This will add some exciting flair and unpredictability to fights going forward.
Michael Chandler makes his entrance to the digital Octagon after signing with the UFC in September. With three Bellator Lightweight Championships under his belt, Chandler will enter the game with a 4-star overall rating driven by his 4.5 star striking and health.
Alex Perez, currently the 4th ranked Flyweight in the UFC, joins the digital octagon with a 4.5-star overall rating including 4.5 stars for striking and health.
We’ve updated the likenesses for various fighters and fixed an issue that was affecting Sean O’Malley’s hair in-game. Additionally, there are multiple updates to fighter’s movesets that you can find listed in detail below. Thank you again for your continued feedback and support and we will be back soon with more updates!
