EA has just promised a full reveal of EA Sports UFC 5 tomorrow (September 7), but that wasn't the only thing they had to say as they also have presented the cover athletes for the game.

It turns out that Alexander Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko will get the honour for the Standard Edition, while Stylebender (Israel Adesanya) is the star of the Deluxe Edition

The cover athletes for EA Sports UFC 5 have been introduced

This includes both the Standard and Deluxe Edition.

I really wish EA would put this series on hold and make another fight night boxing game.

Have these game actually advanced at all in the last 3 offerings or is it the standard EA affair of updating the roster and basically releasing the same game again?

This.

I've only played UFC 4 and although I enjoyed it, I'd really prefer a new Fight Night game.

it's probably selling better than the Fight Night games if they keep putting these out lol. But yeah, I do miss the PS360 days when me and the boys were playing Fight Night all summer long.

A lot has changed but actually advancing? No.

As a striking game, it's ok. But as soon as any grappling or groundwork comes in there's still just a massive disconnect of feedback.
You don't get any sense of what you're doing carries weight or power. The fighters look like they're loosely holding each other and are made out of Styrofoam. It's like the physics when a building is destroyed in Battlefield but fighting.

EA should stop using ingame models on their covers. It looks pretty bad.

This one is not as bad as the FC 24 cover, but still pretty bad

They at least had different covers

 

[GymWolf]

So the gyno chinese african newzealand dog jerker and the the chick who is not champion anymore? Lmao.

At least we have Volk (but of course they put the future goat of the sport behind the female fighter, it's ea after all)

Why not using leon and zhang weili instead?

Models still look terrible compared to how they should look in a nextgen game that only has to render 2 pg and an arena...

I smell another mediocre game, and of course no pc version.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Stylebender? More like just a bender.

 

[Bloobs]

Whats up with EA and putting ingame persons on the cover lol.

 

[Hudo]

They should just use real photos. These models look like shit.

I think it has more to do with the cost of licensing the likeness of each boxer. Unlike UFC where they would just need to negotiate with the one company they would have to negotiate with every single boxer instead since it's a decentralized sport. Licensing alone would cost them more than what it would cost to make a UFC game.

Ultimate woke championship

Trying to think of the best sport covers because lately they’ve all been so odd or unique.
