EA Sports UFC 5 patch 1.13 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, September 5 at 1:00 PM ET featuring four new fighters and gameplay updates. To celebrate Mexican Independence Day and Riyadh Season Noche UFC, Daniel Zellhuber and Manuel Torres will be added. The team will also add Tatsuro Taira and Tabatha Ricci to the roster. Riyadh Season Noche UFC Fight Week Challenges and New Alter Egos will be added on September 10 at 1:00 PM ET.
The new update will fix an issue where fighters would “glide” while recovering from short-range combos or throwing circling/retreating strikes. It will also resolve a bug allowing the dominant fighter in the Cage Single Under Clinch position to land unblockable body punches. Achieving 10-8 rounds will be easier, while cuts and swelling impact the judges’ scoring less. Active knockdowns, where the fighter recovers quickly without falling, will carry more weight in scoring. Check out the patch notes below.
