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 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 some 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 field. To pull this one off, do a quick double tap - or even triple tap - on the shoot button. Whatever you do, don't hold the button down too long. Remember, it's all about the fast tap ( by quick tap, I am referring only to FIFA football 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 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 got 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 easy to learn, and after getting the hang of it, you'll be cleaning out your rivals' accounts each time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all the annals of sports games, the boxing game has traditionally been a selected favourite. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in beating your opponent 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 some other cuss word that we are 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 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 punch lands. Second is the lean ; right as your rival is getting ready 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 do not have a hell of plenty of time to make the counter-punch, so be certain to get in there fast. 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 it's possible.

it's also crucial to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a sequence of pokes. The poke is the swiftest 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 competitor 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 follow these tips, and you could have your opponents eating canvas ( served up with a side of crow ). Like we claimed, there's just nothing quite like settling the score with fisticuffs.
