Gamers, get excited because EA Vancouver just dropped patch 1.15 for EA Sports UFC 5 on October 17, 2024. This latest update is a real game-changer, bringing in two fresh fighters: Shara Magomedov and Matt Frevola. Not only does the patch expand the ever-growing roster, but it also introduces new gameplay updates, bug fixes, and exciting alter egos.
First off, let’s talk about those new fighters. The addition of Magomedov and Frevola means players can now customize their roster even further, stepping into the shoes of these MMA combatants who are now part of the ultra-competitive mixed martial arts scene.
When EA Sports UFC 5 launched in 2023, it took the gaming world by storm, achieving praise for its graphics and mechanics. However, many players voiced their dissatisfaction with the initial roster and pacing of the career mode. Responding to feedback, EA Vancouver has committed to keeping the game alive with continuous updates, and they’re definitely delivering pointing to 98% parity with the current top ten UFC athlete rankings.

Patch Updates and Server Downtime
But don’t get too eager just yet! There’s a bit of a server hiccup to be aware of. EA did confirm that there would be a short downtime between 9:30 AM PT and 10 AM PT on patch day. So make sure you’re set to download the new update when it goes live. You won’t want to miss all the action once the servers are back up!
As the update rolls out, players can expect some new alter egos to add a unique flair to their gaming experience. After winning the community vote, the legendary ex-UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is getting a fresh alter ego from UFC 226 (2018). Furthermore, be prepared for Leon Edwards and Justin Gaethje to join the ranks of the Salt Lake City series. Additionally, new characters such as Diego Lopes and Merab Dvalishvili will be part of the Riyadh Season Noche UFC series.
Gameplay Changes that Pack a Punch
Now let’s dive into gameplay enhancements. EA has made significant adjustments to combat mechanics. Fighters need to be more precise with their distance management; a jab thrown too close will now only offer minor damage mitigation for incoming strikes. This tweak is part of a broader strategy to ensure that fighters are hitting with realism and precision.
Additionally, other fixes include speeding up lead leg kicks in combos and granting fighters exclusive access to specific takedown techniques based on their wrestling level. It’s all about refining the fight for maximum intensity which is what EA Sports UFC 5 is all about.
With this patch, players are armed with more dynamic strategies and combat options. Get ready to embrace the new fighters and mechanics, and let’s see who ends up being your next go-to champion!
