Sports Video Games Winning Tips for FIFA Soccer and Fight Night Round 4

FIFA soccer 09

Who doesn't really like FIFA 09, with all of the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with some fake-outs. But we're all about winning here, and in order to do that, you need to score more goals. And the only way to score those points is to be told how to make your kicks count. Here are a few techniques that should do the trick.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you are farther back on the playing field. To drag this one off, do a fast double tap - or triple tap - on the shoot button. Whatever you do, don't hold the button down too long. Remember, it's about the fast tap ( by fast tap, I'm referring only to FIFA football game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' elsewhere, that's's your business... ).

Also good to grasp is the chip shot. Do this with a combo of the LB and shoot button ; the ball goes right over the goalkeeper. Simply do not hit this one too hard, or it is going flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' finesse shot, a favorite of the FIFA player. This one can be executed simply by pressing the RB ( or R1, depending on your system ). Do this one when you have a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the refinement shot is recommended for when you are closer to the goal, as opposed to the hard low shot.

These tips are easy to learn, and after getting the it down pat, you will be cleaning out your rivals' accounts every time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all the records of sports games, the boxing game has traditionally been a selected favourite. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in beating your competitor at soccer, football, or Basketball. But there's something downright therapeutic about literally getting to kick the crap out of your best buds. And so it is with EA's Fight Night Round four game, where you get to play as some of the greatest men that ever took up the sweet science. But in order to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, and make your rival holler'Uncle!' ( or another expletive that we're possibly not allowed to print here ), follow these tips.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more strong than your typical uppercut, hook, or straight. There are three basic techniques to get the counter-punch. First, the well-timed block ; put up your guard right as your competitor's punch lands. Second is the lean ; right as your rival is about to get one in, lean back right or left. Then, go to the town. 3rd, bob ; use semi-circle movements with the left stick to bob out of the way. Word of advice, though - act fast! You don't have a hell of lots of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure to get in there swiftly. Also remember that your contestant can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance whenever it's possible.

it's also vital to keep your contestant off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a series of pokes. The jab is the speediest one in the entire game, so your best chance is to land one in when your contestant is swinging an uppercut or a hook at you.

And when all else fails, do what comes naturally : fight filthy. Your opponent has you on the ropes? Nothing a well-placed head butt or body blow can't fix. Just be careful with this one : you might get docked a point, or be disqualified.

So just try these tips, and you could have your opponents eating canvas ( served up with a side of crow ). Like we claimed, there's just nothing like settling the score with fisticuffs.
