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

FIFA football 09

Who doesn't really like FIFA 09, with all the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with a few fake-outs. But we're all about winning here, and in order to do that, you need to score more goals. And the simplest way to score those points is to learn how to make your kicks count. Here are some strategies 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 tug this one off, do a quick double tap - or perhaps triple tap - on the shoot button. Whatever you do, don't hold the button down too long. Remember, it is about the fast tap ( by fast tap, I'm referring only to FIFA soccer game tournament - if you're doing the'quick tap' some place else, that's'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 goal tender. Just don't 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've a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the refinement shot is recommended for when you're closer to the goal, vs the hard low shot.

These tips are simple 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 fighting game has traditionally been a selected favorite. Sure, there's an incredible 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 4 game, where you get to play as some of the best 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 swear word that we're likely not allowed to print here ), follow these tips.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it is all about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more powerful than your classic 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 opponent's'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 town. 3rd, bob ; use semi-circle movements with the left stick to bob out of the way. Word of advice, though - act fast! You do not have a hell of a lot of time to make the counter-punch, so be certain to get in there quickly . Also remember that your opponent can land in a solid counter-punch after they've blocked, ducked or weaved. So try and keep your distance whenever it's possible.

it is also vital to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of jabs. The jab is the fastest one in the entire game, so your best chance is to land one in when your opponent is swinging an uppercut or a hook at you.

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

So just try these pointers, and you'll 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.
