EA UFC 5 Patch 1.16 is set to bring exciting new additions, including 2 new rostered fighters - Carlos Prates and Jean Silva. Along with these new fighters, the patch includes gameplay fixes addressing issues with ground and pound transitions and camera angles, as well as other updates and rewards. Read the full patch notes below.
EA UFC 5 Update 1.16 Patch Notes:
Patch 1.16 goes with two new rostered fighters, a gameplay fix that addresses an issue that allowed the submissive fighter to immediately transition out of ground and pound after a diving punch or when the dominant fighter goes to postured mount after pouncing on a cage knockdown. There is also a fix that addresses a camera angle issue that may occur after the reversal from full guard bottom to full guard top, against the pass to half guard (single leg reversal).
Let’s check out the two new rostered fighters coming to UFC 5:
Carlos Prates - One of two “Fighting Nerds” coming to UFC 5. Carlos made a splash in the UFC by KO’ing his opponent in the second round and since then he has rattled off two more KO victories. Prates’ fighting style is Muay Thai through and through, he uses each of his eight limbs to devastate his opponents until they can no longer stand with him and decide to shoot for a takedown but by then it’s too late, and the next thing they know they are looking up at the ref asking what happened. Precise fast striking, clean footwork and good takedown defense are what you get with Prates in UFC 5.
Jean Silva (Featherweight and Lightweight) - To say Jean Silva is a wild man is an understatement, just take a look at his post-fight debut where he barks at the camera after knocking out his opponent in the first round, or the war he had in his last fight with the ultra-tough Drew Dober. “Lord” may get a little wild but he’s also well-rounded, strong, and can take a punch or two or three. Silva is also on a three-fight win streak in the UFC, a testament to his team and training with the Fighting Nerds. Powerful punches and kicks and a stellar takedown defense round out Silva’s game in UFC 5.
