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 of 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 simplest way to score those points is to discover 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're further back on the field. To tug this one off, do a fast 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 grasp 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 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 have a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the refinement shot is recommended for when you are closer to the goal, as opposed to the hard low shot.

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

Fight Night Round Four

In all of the annals of sports games, the fighting game has often been a selected favorite. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in beating your contestant at football, 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 4 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 cuss word that we are possibly not allowed to print here ), follow these tips.

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 typical 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 about 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 advice, 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 quickly . Also remember that your contestant can land in a solid counter-punch after they've blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance whenever possible.

it's also vital to keep your opponent off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of jabs. The jab is the fastest one in the entire game, so your best shot 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 filthy. Your opponent 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 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.
