The new combat intricacies are also where the game truly shines. Mastering your controls is key to delivering powerful haymakers and controlling the fight, especially in ground combat. I did not master these controls (ground combat) and would get absolutely annihilated anytime the fight hit the canvas because of this. That said I understood ground combat in UFC 5 better than any other previous UFC game from EA \u2013 that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s intuitive for all just yet. A few more tweaks and they will hit the sweet spot that they have been inching towards for the best part of a decade. If I\u2019m being honest, I stand up every single time to get back to punches and kicks as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
It must be said, EA Sports UFC 5 is stunning on the Xbox Series X; really, really<\/em> beautiful with detailed arenas and fighter models. The above-mentioned accumulation of damage during fights adds another fantastic layer of realism, though occasional glitches are a reminder that we aren\u2019t quite at full life-like graphics just yet. It may be next-gen where we start to see games like this be close to indistinguishable from reality. A scary thought indeed.<\/p>\nSeries X play has managed to give mostly steady and smooth 60fps gameplay, paired with incredible audio. That means each fight felt like a real main event. Despite the career mode feeling more like a tutorial, it is still a good starting point for newcomers whilst those who have played any of EAs other MMA efforts should find UFC 5 to be second nature. The existence of microtransactions in the store didn\u2019t significantly influence my desire to customise characters, as they are all basic items such as Hawaiian shorts or new haircuts.<\/p>\n
\n
Still the hardest man alive?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nEA Sports UFC 5 is a next-gen looking game with a vast fighter roster; from current day fighters to legends of the past like Rampage Jackson. Despite certain career mode shortcomings, it is a vast improvement from that played in earlier UFC games, so much so that EA Sports UFC 5 is probably the best iteration EA have made. It embodies the essence of the sport, which makes it easy to recommend for both seasoned fans and newcomers alike.<\/p>\n
This time \u2013 if it\u2019s in the game, it\u2019s in the game. EA Sports UFC 5 is a must buy, and given a few tweaks for the next version \u2013 and providing they don\u2019t dive headfirst into a pile of microtransactions and filler modes \u2013 the UFC franchise from EA could become one of the greatest sports titles of all time.<\/p>\n
