Now that the latest installment is available worldwide, more and more players will be diving into UFC 5 career mode to chart their course to becoming the absolute GOAT. Whether you’re looking to build up dominance offline or online, we’ll break down all the tips players need.<\/p>\n
From managing your weekly time and maximizing Evolution Points, your UFC 5 career mode experience is sure to change from save to save. Before you get buried in the next road to gold, these UFC 5<\/a> career mode tips will set you up for success.<\/p>\n You’ll first have the option of creating a new fighter or importing one in UFC 5 career mode. If you do create a new fighter, they’ll automatically be saved into the created fighter roster and be usable in future career mode saves or Fight Now in UFC 5. Of course, importing an existing UFC 5 roster<\/a> members gives you the option of taking legends like Muhammad Ali or Kimbo Slice into a legendary career of their own.<\/p>\n If you choose to create a custom fighter, pretty much every aspect of appearance can be changed down the line along with nickname, hometown, stance, and voice. However, your name, social kmedia handle, height, weight class, and age will remain fixed and cannot be changed unless you edit the fighter and create a completely new career mode save.<\/p>\n If you use an imported fighter, you won’t have any appearance options but will still get to customize attributes, perks, and moves as your journey rolls on. Ultimately, you can build pretty much any type of fighter with any type of specialization you want out of any starter fighter type or imported roster member. However, your fighter type (or roster pick) will dictate your first perk and your starting attributes.<\/p>\n The other big aspect you can’t change on each UFC 5 career mode save is game style and difficulty. If you start a save on Normal Difficulty with Competetive style, that’s the way it’s going to stay. If you go for Hard Difficulty along with Stand & Bang style<\/a>, that’s what you’re sticking with. Make sure to test yourself in Fight Now so you don’t get too invested in a save on a difficulty you can’t manage.<\/p>\n Fortunately, so long as the difficulty isn’t too far out of your skill level, your skills will improve over time. The first time in UFC 5 career mode you’ll be required to do a series of onboarding tutorials, but these can be skipped in every subsequent career mode save. Also, don’t fret if you don’t master each task right away, as they’ll all be repeatable in various sparring drills later on.<\/p>\n We’ll get into some more in-depth advice below on how to handle specific aspects of building your fighter, but first let’s go over some UFC 5<\/a> career mode tips every player needs to keep in mind.<\/p>\n From fight to fight, you’ll have the option of setting up a training camp of varying length. Early on, you want to always do the longest training camp allowed. While the money bonus may be enticing, you desperately need the training time between early fights to maximize your sparring opportunities and upgrade.<\/p>\n You’ll have a set amount of time to chip away at each week during training camp, and every bit of it will count. Keep an eye on your hype and promotional options, as getting at least a social media post in each week will help you keep the hype growing even as you do lots of sparring.<\/p>\n Connections and fighter invitations are also a great option when they can fit, so try to do the math on your total weekly time and pick activities that will use as much of that time as possible. You don’t want to end up leaving a quarter of your weekly time on the table because you miscalculated.<\/p>\n This is one of the most tempting things early on, as the simulation option seems ideal for speeding up UFC 5 career mode and ensuring guaranteed Evolution Points. It’s a deceptive benefit though, as you’ll also be losing out on both the practice and (more importantly) move progress.<\/p>\n You can make huge leaps forward with your move progress in solidifying five-star moves you can prestige, and you generally want to avoid knocking out your partner early as every second of each session allows you to level up transitions, strikes, submissions<\/a>, and all sorts of moves.<\/p>\n One activity you’ll find intriguing at first is choosing to watch tape on an upcoming opponent, as it’ll eat up a small chunk of your week but reveal aspects like their attributes or signature moves. However, it’s generally not going to make a huge difference on lower difficulties.<\/p>\n In our experience, playing Competetive on Normal or any easier option makes tape pretty much pointless. If you can strike and move on the ground, the tape really isn’t going to matter. However, on high difficulties you will absolutely need to know how to pick apart your opponents weaknesses and this can be critical.<\/p>\n If at any point your UFC 5 career mode journey starts to feel repetetive, you can always start again. If you really want to finish out a save you’re super dominant on, start doing short training camps and racing through quick fights until you reach the end.<\/p>\n Dominant early performances will send you straight to the UFC, but struggling could put you in the WFA as you slowly work your way up. Harder difficulties will force you to be more creative and strategic in each fight, and they’ll give you a very different experience along the way.<\/p>\n If you want to improve your fighter in UFC 5 career mode, you’ll need to earn Evolution Points<\/a> to upgrade attributes. There are several different paths you can take depending on your preferred fighting style, but the recovery attributes are usually the best place to start.<\/p>\n Having superior cardio and resilience will make a huge difference early on. Past that, making sure your punch or kick power and speed are solid even if you focus on the ground game will be a big help. You can rack up more Evolution Points by completing challenges in sparring drills, but the best way is when you Prestige a move.<\/p>\n Your UFC 5 career mode fighter won’t start with a complete massive arsenal of every move in the game. Several key attacks like the Superman Punch, other strikes, and submissions are learned by making connections with other fighters who you’ll invite to training sessions. <\/p>\nUFC 5 Career Mode Beginner’s Guide & Tips<\/h2>\n
