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 one or two fake-outs. But we're all about winning here, and to do that, you need to score more goals. And the simplest 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 are farther back on the playing field. To drag this one off, do a fast double tap - or triple tap - on the shoot button. Whatever you do, don't hold the button down too long. Remember, it is about the quick tap ( by quick tap, I'm referring only to FIFA soccer 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 is going flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' refinement 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 nearer to the goal, as opposed to the hard low shot.

These tips are easy to learn, and after getting the hang of it, 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 often been a specific fave. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in thrashing your opponent at football, soccer, 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 best 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 permitted to print here ), follow these pointers.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's all about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more potent than your classic uppercut, hook, or straight. There are 3 basic ways to get the counter-punch. First, the well-timed block ; put up your guard right as your competitor'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 town. 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 plenty of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure to get in there fast. Also remember that your contestant can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So attempt to keep your distance whenever it's possible.

it's also important to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of jabs. The poke is the fastest one in the entire 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 filthy. Your contestant has you on the ropes? Nothing a well-placed head butt or body blow can't fix. Just be careful with this one : you could get docked a point, or be disqualified.

So just follow these tips, and you'll have your opponents eating canvas ( served up with a side of crow ). Like we said, there's just nothing like settling the score with fisticuffs.
