In juni verscheen EA Sports UFC en in de review beloonden wij de game met een nette 7. EA Sports zal de game natuurlijk blijven ondersteunen met patches en andere updates. Inmiddels is de eerste ‘free content update’ beschikbaar, zo laat de ontwikkelaar op hun site weten. Deze brengt allerlei nieuwe features en vechters met zich mee.
Allereerst bevat de update verbeteringen voor gameplay, animaties en de online ervaring. Daarnaast kan je na deze update spelen met drie nieuwe vechters:
- TJ Dillashaw – Bantamweight Champion
- Takeya Mizugaki – Bantamweight Division
- Tyron Woodley – Welterweight Division
Als laatste zijn er gameplay updates en deze zorgen voor nog meer realistische momenten tijdens de gevechten.
- Touch Gloves: Users will now have the ability to manually make their fighter touch gloves (or choose not to touch gloves) before beginning to fight by pressing L2 on PS4 . This can be done at the start of every round, or anytime the ref stands the fighters up.
- Finish the Fight: During a knockout, the attacking fighter can jump on their downed opponent and “finish the fight” by delivering extra strikes as the knockout occurs.
- Sprawls: The defending fighter now sprawls when successfully defending against a power takedown.
- Clinch Break from the Cage: Fighters now have the ability to break out of a clinch when pressed against the fence by pressing the L3 button.
- Power Takedowns and Sweeps: Power takedowns and side control sweeps have been removed from fighters who would not normally have them.
- Stamina: Stamina no longer regenerates if the user holds block. The user will also take a larger stamina penalty if hit while weak blocking.
- Sweep Defense: The dominant fighter in the Full Guard position now has a larger window to reverse the Full Guard sweep to Mount.
De eerste content update voor EA Sports UFC is inmiddels gratis te downloaden op de PlayStation 4. In de video bovenaan dit bericht worden alle nieuwe features en vechters van de update laten zien.
