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 one or two 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 methodologies that should do the job.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you are farther back on the playing field. To pull 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 quick tap ( by fast tap, I am referring only to FIFA football game tournament - if you're doing the'quick tap' some place else, that is's your business... ).

Also good to know is the chip shot. Do this with a combo of the LB and shoot button ; the ball goes right over the goal tender. Just 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 favourite 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've a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the refinement shot is recommended for when you are closer to the goal, vs the hard low shot.

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

Fight Night Round Four

In all of the records of sports games, the boxing game has often been a particular favourite. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in beating your competitor at soccer, football, or Basketball. But there's something downright healing 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 best men that ever took up the sweet science. But to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, and make your rival holler'Uncle!' ( or another swear word that we are possibly not allowed to print here ), follow these pointers.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's all about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is far more potent than your standard uppercut, hook, or straight. There are three basic methods to get the counter-punch. First, the well-timed block ; put up your guard right as your opponent's's punch lands. Second is the lean ; right as your rival is preparing to get one in, lean back right or left. Then, go to the town. Third, bob ; use semi-circle movements with the left stick to bob out of the way. Word of caution, though - act fast! You do not have a hell of lots of time to make the counter-punch, so be certain to get in there fast. Also remember that your opponent can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So try and keep your distance whenever possible.

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

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

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