In the most recent update, Chase Hooper and Lerony Murphy have been added to the EA Sports UFC 5 roster. Here are their key attributes when they first joined:

  • Chase Hooper (LW) – 4.5/5 Stars
    • 94 Cardio
    • 95 Submission Offense
    • 95 Submission Defense

25-year-old boxer Hooper has been on a winning streak since his comeback to the Lightweight division. Since then, he’s maintained an unbeaten record of 3 consecutive wins and hasn’t tasted defeat since 2022. One of his most noteworthy victories post-return was against Jordan Leavitt at Fight Night last November. Hooper knocked out Levitt in the very first round, which took less than three minutes to complete. In December, he will challenge Clay Guida, the current Strikeforce Lightweight Champion.

  • Lerone Murphy (FW) – 4/5 Stars
    • 94 Chin
    • 95 Punch Speed
    • 94 Accuracy

As an unbeaten fighter, I’ve been fortunate enough to carve out a fairly victorious journey in the UFC thus far. Currently, I find myself ranked 12th among all the Featherweights, a position I’m proud to hold. Fresh off a stunning win against Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night this past May, I’m now gearing up for my next challenge: a showdown with Dan Ige at UFC 308 in October.

EA Sports UFC 5 Update Patch Notes For September 26th, 2024:

Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue that allowed a fighter to partially block the special lead hook block counter, after using an advancing slipping rear hook.
  • Fixed an issue that made the Triangle entry unavailable from Submissive Rubber Guard, when at a large stamina advantage.
  • Reduced the stamina advantage requirement for some ground transitions:
    • Smash Pass from Dominant Full Guard to Side Control from 25 to 10.
      • This happens when the submissive hips out to one side and then the dominant, being the second one to move, transitions to the other side. This requires Wrestling Transitions.
    • Side Control Sweep from 70 to 50.
      • This is a circumstantial sweep that stems from the hip-out transition to half-guard. It requires Wrestling Sweeps and was also very rare because of the very high stamina advantage requirement.
  • Fixed a camera issue during the Heel Hook finish.

Misc. Additions and Updates

  • New assorted vanity rewards added.

In summary, this covers all the essential details regarding the recent UFC 5 Update. Excitedly, we’re eager to engage in battles alongside Hooper and Chase. Naturally, curiosity arises as to whom EA might introduce next.
