EA Sports UFC: 10 Things We Learned After Hands-On Time With The Game

4. Fighters Specialities

Another facility to have been imported from EA€™s numerous other excellent sports games, EA Sports UFC has implemented a speciality system to give fighters statistical advantages in certain areas. Much like how Kevin Durant is the master of the 3-pointer in NBA 2K14 or how Rooney is an engine because of his work rate in FIFA 14, UFC€™s specialities will closely reflect a fighters abilities in the cage. Though, as you would expect, these specialties are many and varied, we definitely had some early favourites. The Fluid speciality means a fighter can strike €œlike water€ (to use Bruce Lee€™s terminology), flowing seamlessly between strike combos and in so doing conserving valuable energy. The Chess Master speciality is for the sport€™s great tacticians, making them more effective in implementing a game-plan. Finally, the Carved of Wood trait gives fighters an exceptional recovery time after being rocked allowing them to immediately get back in the fight.
