How to earn Evolution Points in EA SPORTS™ UFC® 5

How to earn Evolution Points in Career Mode

In Career Mode, you can earn Evolution Points by taking part in fights and sparring sessions. Your performance in these determines how many Points you earn. You can use these Points to upgrade your attributes, moves, and perks.

Prepare for fights in Training Camps

Before each fight, you can set up a Training Camp. Training Camps have different lengths, but when you’re starting out, it’s best to do the longest Training Camp possible. This helps build up hype, which increases payouts and fan base while giving you more time for sparring sessions.

Take part in sparring sessions

Competing in multiple sparring sessions of the same type will increase your objectives (the number of Points you can earn).This means you can only increase your objectives by taking part in the same type of session week after week without switching to a different type.There are 4 sparring session types.

Boxing
Muay Thai
Wrestling
Brazilian jiu-jitsu

Upgrade and learn new moves

Using and repeating a particular attack or move will level up that specific maneuver.You can learn new moves in sparring sessions or by going to ea.com for tutorials on everything from basic to advanced Fighter moves.

You can also Invite A Fighter to learn one of their moves. You’ll then earn Evolution Points for using that move in a sparring session.Another way to upgrade moves is by scoring knockouts and knockdowns with your Invited Fighter, but make sure you don’t overdo it. You won’t get any Evolution Points if you knock them out before using the new move. You might also damage your relationship with that Fighter if you knock them out with the new move when they’re too damaged.

How to check your G.O.A.T. Status

In Career Mode, go to the Main Hub and select G.O.A.T. Status. You'll find a checklist that details actions you need to take to achieve G.O.A.T Status.

How to earn Evolution Points in Online Career Mode

Earning Evolution Points in Online Career Mode works similarly to offline Career Mode but in a head-to-head online competitive mode.You can earn Evolution Points from Online Career matches, but not from sparring sessions.

Prestige your Fighter

In Online Career Mode, you can choose to prestige once you reach the level cap for your Fighter.This means that when you put 1,000 Evolution Points into a Fighter, you can reset your Evolution Points to the starting point, but increase the level cap. This unlocks access to additional moves, perks, and pathways to becoming an even better Fighter.

What are Evolution Boosts?

Evolution Boosts allow you to earn more Evolution Points for a limited time.If you start competing in a Created Fighter (CAF) League halfway through the season, a limited-time Boost could help you evolve your Fighter to a level closer to players who have been competing since the very start. You can earn Evolution Boosts as in-game rewards.
