Are you still delivering and taking beatings in the Octagon? Then you’ll surely like this latest content update for EA Sports UFC.
Within this free update available right now on Xbox One you will find gameplay improvements and new additions to the roster. These extra fighters for you to use are Matt Brown (Welterweight), Mike Pyle (Welterweight) and Stipe Miocic (Heavyweight). There’s also a few minor tweaks of the gameplay that will hopefully improve the overall fighting experience and these are as follows –
- Kick Catching: Users will now have the ability to catch opponents’ kicks during parries if the attacking fighter has low stamina or high leg-damage when throwing the kick. If the parry button is held, a takedown will be initiated.
- Manual Taunts: Users will now be able to add insult to injury with a well-placed taunt. Pressing Left or Right on the directional pad will cause a fighter to taunt their opponent mid-bout.
- Single Leg into Half Guard: Successful basic Single Leg Takedowns will now end up in Half Guard.
- Stamina: Stamina loss on Strikes Landed has been adjusted.
- Back Mount Escape: The submissive fighter is now able to escape when their opponent has them in the Back Mount position.
- Transitions: New defensive stand-up transitions from Full Guard have now been added. Guard-to-Full-Mount sweep is now an Advanced Transition.
- TKO Stoppages: The referee will now stop the bout if the submissive fighter blocks too many strikes without trying to improve their position during ground and pound.
