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

FIFA soccer 09

Who does not love FIFA 09, with all the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with one or two 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 discover how to make your kicks count. Here are a few methodologies that should do the trick.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you are further back on the playing field. To pull 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's all about the quick 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 know is the chip shot. Do this with a combo of the LB and shoot button ; the ball goes right over the goalkeeper. Just don't hit this one too hard, or it goes flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' refinement 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 finesse 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 trick down pat, you will be cleaning out your rivals' accounts every time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all of the annals of sports games, the fighting game has always been a selected fave. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in beating your contestant at football, 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 to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, and make your rival holler'Uncle!' ( or some other swear word that we're probably not allowed to print here ), follow these pointers.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is far more potent than your typical uppercut, hook, or straight. There are 3 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 preparing 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 caution, 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 contestant can land in a solid counter-punch after they've blocked, ducked or weaved. So attempt to keep your distance whenever possible.

it is also important to keep your opponent off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a series of pokes. The jab is the swiftest one in the whole game, so your best bet 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 dirty. 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 follow these tips, and you will 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.
