EA SPORTS UFC Free Content Update #2 Delivers New Fighters and More Gameplay Additions
Sep 3, 2014 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Las Vegas – Today Electronic Arts released the
second free* EA SPORTS™ UFC® Content Update featuring three new UFC
fighters* including welterweights Matt Brown
and Mike
Pyle, as well as heavyweight fighter Stipe
Miocic. In addition to the roster expansion, the Content Update
also contains key gameplay additions and improvements including,
but not limited to:
· Manual Taunts: Players 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.
· Kick Catching: Players 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.
· Single Leg into Half Guard: Successful basic Single Leg Takedowns will now end up in Half Guard.
· TKO Stoppage: 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.
Watch the EA SPORTS UFC Content Update #2 trailer to see all these additions come to life in-game. For more information visit the EA SPORTS UFC blog.
Powered by EA SPORTS IGNITE technology, EA SPORTS UFC is built from the ground up exclusively for the new consoles and captures the human athleticism, physiology and emotion of the athlete like nothing before it. The game is available now for the PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One consoles.
