EA Sports UFC 6 Trophy Guide & Roadmap

“Ground and Pound” is when you are on the ground in top mount and knock out the opponent with strikes (you’re sitting on top of the opponent on the floor). Wrestle the opponent to the ground with + + then in Full Mount press  and use strikes to get a TKO. You can also do it after a knockdown by dropping onto the enemy to pound him out. To make it easy you can adjust your damage to +100% in gameplay settings.

Submissions are done when you are on the floor and exhaust the opponent’s submission meter (purple bar below stamina). Wrestle the opponent to the ground with + + then hold to view available submissions from each position. Successfully perform submissions until the opponent taps out. This is best done on easy difficulty using a Jiu-Jitsu fighter.

An opponent’s “Flow State” happens when the screen turns gray. This is best done against boxers or kickboxers, as they typically use their flow state while standing up, which is easier to interrupt. Play on easy or and drag out the fight until the opponent uses the flow state. When the screen turns gray, attack with the most powerful attacks to stun the opponent. On easy difficulty, landing 2 head kicks in a row as a kickboxer works well ( + > + ). Landing Combos, Uppercuts, Hooks, Overhands also work well.

“Flow State” can be triggered by pressing when the icon next to your stamina bar is filled up. What fills the flow meter depends on the perks each fighter has, but just playing normally you will get a full flow meter in almost every round. When you activate flow state, the screen turns gray and your main perk is enhanced. While the screen is gray you must win the fight by KO / TKO / Submission. Activate the flow state just before you are about to knock out or submit the opponent and you’ll get this. It’s best done on easy difficulty. An easy method is to use flow state just before starting a submission attempt.

For this you must remain standing for the entire fight across 5 fights in a row. This means you can’t get knocked down, can’t be wrestled to the floor, and can not engage in ground and pound. You can make this super quick by adjusting your damage to +100% in gameplay settings and playing on easy. Select a heavyweight fighter and throw 1 head kick to instantly get a knockout, repeat 5 times. Each fight will only take a few seconds.

Hall of Legends > select any Hall > interact with any display case.

Hall of Legends > select any Hall > walk up to any of the 3 fights (big screens) and complete the fight. These let you replay historic fights, you don’t need to do the objectives for this trophy.

Hall of Legends > select any Hall > finish all objectives for all 3 fights in a single Hall. The fights are started from the big screens in the halls, or simply press > Go to Fight. The objectives will be displayed in the bottom left corner during the fight, doing these represents how the fights played out in real life.

Note: The trophy only unlocks after quitting out to the Main Menu, not immediately in Hall of Legends mode.

For this you must win 3 fights in a row in online mode. For me this didn’t unlock in “Invite a Friend” mode. In quick fight it doesn’t seem to unlock when fighting the same opponent 3 times via the “Rematch” function, they have to be 3 different opponents.

It’s confirmed to work in Quick Fight (3 different opponents), Online Career, Ranked Ladder, Ranked Stand & Bang.

If you want to boost this with a friend, your boosting partner will need to set up 3 different PSN accounts and link different EA accounts to them. After each fight it won’t match you against the same person again for a longer period. So if you search with the same account again you won’t find each other. Go to Quick Fight and use very specific search parameters that only you and your boosting partner will search for (specific mode, weight class, create a fighter allowed or not). You could also try in Online Career by searching for specific weight classes. If you get matched up to other players, try searching during hours when fewer people are online (typically 7AM UTC – 9AM UTC) and avoid weekends. Around the game’s launch there will be more people playing so there’s a higher chance to run into randoms. If you do it months or years after the game’s release it will become easier to boost as there are fewer people playing online.

If you want to do it legit, stick to the fighter and specific weight class you know best. Most players online struggle with defending submissions, so playing a strong Jiu-Jitsu fighter or wrestler and focusing on submissions can work well regardless of your skill level, it just takes some luck with your opponents.

“Flow State” can be triggered by pressing when the icon next to your stamina bar is filled up. What fills the flow meter depends on the perks each fighter has, but just playing normally you will get a full flow meter in almost every round. When you activate flow state, the screen turns gray. During this, land any 5 strikes without the opponent blocking it. Kicks count too.

It can be boosted in “Invite a Friend”.

Go to Main Menu > The Gym, or press Touchpad while in any menu.

For this you must reach Level 99 on a single fighter. This is by far the most time-consuming trophy in the game. With the best trainer and Gym Level 50 you get 550 XP every 12 minutes. To reach Level 99 it takes 117,262 XP total. This takes a minimum of 43 hours real time if you were to assign a trainer exactly every 12 minutes.

Here’s how to make leveling as efficient as possible:

• Most importantly, some fighters have longer training times than others. 5-star fighters and some popular 4.5 star fighters have longer training times. Their training time will be the same as the recruitment time. You can see this when you click on a fighter and hover over a trainer, it will show how long each training cycle will take. Pick a fighter with the lower training time (the exact training time will depend on the trainer and your Gym Level).
• Remember you will need to click on this fighter a minimum of 214 times to assign them trainers (117,262 XP / 550 XP per training). Don’t pick a fighter that requires scrolling through menus every time. It’s best to pick one from the Leg Choppers category to reduce the number of clicks when going into the Gym menu. Leg Choppers are always the default menu that requires no scrolling. At the time of the game’s launch, the 1st Leg Chopper is Jose Aldo who has long training times due to being 5 stars, so avoid him. Pick a fighter that requires the least button presses (e.g. in Leg Choppers if you press press once you land on Michelle Waterson who has short training times).
• Get to Gym Level 50 to get all the training bonuses. Especially the ones that reduce training time by -5% each and grant +25XP per training. You can view these under Gym > Progression > Gym Pression > browse through the rewards. The last -5% training time is unlocked at Gym Level 48. After you’re done with all other trophies, you can grind Title Defenses in Career Mode which give 500XP per win (on easy with +100% damage gameplay modifier, you get knockouts with 1 kick).
• The best trainer is the 5th one “Sergo Vakhtangishvili” unlocked at Gym Level 16. He starts out at 500XP and has the quickest training time, at Gym Level 50 with all bonuses he will give 550XP.
• There are 5 trainers total in the standard edition and 7 trainers in the Ultimate Edition (includes +2 DLC trainers). However, the Ultimate Edition trainers give less XP than Sergo. For  Gotta Train ‘Em All, you need to get 12 fighters to Level 14 IN THE SAME CATEGORY (e.g. 12 Leg Choppers). Always assign Sergo to the fighter you chose for level 99. Assign all other trainers to other fighters in the category to get them to Level 14. This way you can combine them efficiently. Don’t waste your best trainer on getting fighters to Level 14, you’d just waste time.
• You don’t need to play as the chosen fighter at all. You can just stay in the Gym menu the entire time, start a new training whenever the previous one is finished. It’s very boring and repetitive but you can go do other things while the training happens automatically. You just need to manually assign a new trainer every few minutes.
• Playing as the fighter gives some bonus XP but only a very small amount. The fighter XP will be shown after each match. The match XP are entirely based on how many seconds the match took + a win bonus of roughly 30 XP. If you win every match in the first round you get barely any XP (50 XP or less). If you drag it out to the 5th round you will have spent more seconds playing and will get 200 XP or so. If you lose you still get the same amount minus the win bonus. How you win the fight doesn’t affect the XP. Overall, even actively playing you make far less XP than the passive Gym trainer.
• You can speed it up by actively playing your chosen fighter while the Gym training is happening. This way you can get another 250 XP or so per training cycle which will cut 10-15 hours off the total time requirement, but you’d have to actively play the same fighter for 30+ hours. The downside is this is pretty boring and when matches take longer you’d waste time you could’ve better spent on starting the next training already. Overall it’s less hassle to stay in the Gym menu the entire time and just start a new training while you go do other stuff.
• You must recruit the fighters first. Some require a specific gym level, while others are available from the start. You can increase the recruitment odds by beating that fighter once and also winning while playing that fighter (up to 3 times).

Gym Level XP Requirements:

• Level 1 = 84 XP
• Level 2 = 168 XP
• Level 3 = 252 XP
• Level 4 = 336 XP
• Level 5 = 420 XP
• Level 6 = 504 XP
• Level 7 = 587 XP
• Level 8 = 756 XP
• Level 9 = 924 XP
• Level 10 = 1092 XP
• Level 11 = 1260 XP
• Level 12 = 1259 XP
• Level 13-99 = 1260 XP each (same amount for every level)

Go to Main Menu > The Gym, or press Touchpad while in any menu.

Each fighter goes “Gold” at Level 14. This is when you unlock their final cosmetic reward and their icon turns into a golden belt in the Gym menu. So for this trophy you must get 12 fighters to Level 14 IN THE SAME CATEGORY. There are 10 Categories: Leg Choppers, Smashing Machines, Heavy Hitters, Snipers, Dynamic Strikers, Pressure Fighters, Unbreakable Fighters, All Rounders, Submission Hunters, Power Grapplers.

You can’t mix the fighters between categories. For example, you need 12x Level 14 fighters in the “Leg Choppers” category.
