UFC 5 or 6?

Im currently trying to decide whether I should buy UFC 5 or 6, and id like to hear peoples thoughts.

I know UFC 5 is the older game, and normally I would just go with the newest release. However, after watching some UFC 6 gameplay, Im not as convinced as I expected to be. In a lot of ways, UFC 5 actually looks better to me.

I havent played UFC 5 before, so either game would be a pretty much new experience for me. I was originally planning to buy UFC 5, but then I heard UFC 6 was coming and decided to wait.

Now Im wondering what other players think. Is UFC 6 a clear improvement over UFC 5, or do you think UFC 5 is still worth buying, especially for someone who hasnt played either game before?

I’m particularly interested in realism, gameplay feel, and overall fun. So what would others recommend?

    Well you have more offline modes content in UFC 6. Tbh, flow state only lasts around 12s & it's just a temporary buff for a specific skill, it doesn't affect much the gameplay imo. The whole gameplay is not really based around that feature, and I'm pretty sure the visual effects could be disabled later with updates.

    I am not so into playing online. I bet I like offline modes and career mode a lot more. And UFC 6 has the flow state thing and all that which makes the game more arcade-like, I personally prefer more realistic experience. Also UFC 5 is sometimes only 10€ on PlayStation.

    The question is, what are you looking for in a UFC game? If it's just gameplay wise, almost every single UFC game is different. People always complaining at every single release of each game, then they get used to it. So if you're only about gameplay and UFC 5 appeals you the most go for it. 
    But it won't be updated anymore with current UFC events, with new fighters, even people online will for the most part go on UFC 6 especially with the crossplay feature now.
