First feature details for EA Sports UFC 2

When EA Sports UFC 2 was announced features such as a “Knockout Physics System” and Ultimate Team were discovered. Today, along with Ronda Rousey being named for the cover, more details have been provided on those features and several others that will be found in the game when it releases next spring. 

GAMEPLAY

Knockout Physics System
With the new physics-driven hit reaction system, every knockout will feel different from the last. Fighters will fall in response to their momentum and the blow they receive, making each knockout feel responsive and rewarding.

Next-Level Submissions
Dominate the mat like Ronda Rousey. From chaining your moves, quick transitions, and the ability to do standing submissions, there are more ways to defeat your opponent.

Dynamic Grappling
Great names like Fabricio Werdum, Johny Hendricks and Demian Maia have always been incredible on the ground. In EA SPORTS UFC 2, we’re bringing the ground game to life with more variety and responsiveness, featuring freedom and control not seen in any previous MMA game.

Ultimate Defense
When you watch a fighter like Jose Aldo, who is able to frustrate an opponent by simply making himself unhittable, it can sway the outcome of a fight. In EA SPORTS UFC 2, we’ve put more control in how you’re able to defend yourself. Greater head movement lets you slip and dodge incoming strikes while our improved blocking and parry system will make your opponent think twice before attempting a strike.

CAREER MODE DEPTH & AUTHENTICITY

Training Camps
Having a solid training camp and team to work with can help you win your next fight. Prepare for next fight by balancing your regiment to gain the greatest edge without risking injury.

Female Fighters
For the first time in a UFC game, create a female fighter and guide them to UFC greatness.

Career Defining Moments
First, make your name in The Ultimate Fighter. Then, fight your way through the ranks in the hopes of becoming the next UFC Champion. Along the way, meet career-defining moments that will make your journey even more unique. From epic battles to long-lasting rivalries, your path to the championship will be a memorable one.
