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

FIFA football 09

Who does not love FIFA 09, with all the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with some fake-outs. But we are 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 learn how to make your kicks count. Here are one or two strategies that should do the trick.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you're farther back on the playing field. To drag this one off, do a quick 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 soccer game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' elsewhere, that is's your business... ).

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

And then there's the ever-lovin' finesse shot, a fave 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 got a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the refinement shot is recommended for when you're nearer to the goal, vs 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 each time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all the annals of sports games, the boxing game has always been a specific favorite. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in thrashing your opponent 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 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 likely not permitted to print here ), follow this advice.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it is 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 punch lands. Second is the lean ; right as your rival is getting ready to get one in, lean back left or right. Then, go to the city. Third, bob ; use semi-circle movements with the left stick to bob out of the way. Word of caution, though - act fast! You don't have a hell of lots of time to make the counter-punch, so be certain to get in there quickly . Also remember that your adversary can land in a solid counter-punch after they've blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance whenever possible.

it is also crucial to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a series of jabs. The poke is the speediest one in the entire game, so your best shot 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 unclean. Your competitor has you on the ropes? Nothing a well-placed head butt or body blow can't fix. Just be cautious with this one : you might get docked a point, or be disqualified.

So just try these tips, and you'll 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.
