From enhanced graphics and physics to more lifelike animations and interactions, EA Sports UFC 5 is poised to deliver a level of realism and authenticity that has never been seen before in the series.
In UFC 5, the athlete models have taken a significant leap towards realism compared to earlier versions. Whether they’re unscathed or bearing the scars of battle, the game’s portrayal of fighters is exceptionally true to life. This newfound realism has resulted in the game receiving a mature rating, marking a historic first for the series.

The developers want to make it clear that they’re not celebrating violence; rather, they aim to mirror what fans witness on television during real fights. While their pursuit of realism is paramount, they won’t include the most severe injuries like compound fractures, deeming it a step too far. Players, however, can still expect to see blood pooling on the ring floor and blood spray as a result of punches, with the crimson fluid settling on the attire and skin of both athletes.
