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

FIFA football 09

Who doesn't love FIFA 09, with all the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with some fake-outs. But we are all about winning here, and to do that, you want to score more goals. And the best way to score those points is to learn how to make your kicks count. Here are a few 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 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 quick tap ( by fast tap, I am referring only to FIFA football game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' somewhere else, 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 do not hit this one too hard, or it is going 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 refinement shot is recommended for when you are nearer to the goal, versus the hard low shot.

These tips are easy 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 the records of sports games, the boxing game has traditionally been a selected favorite. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in beating your contestant at soccer, 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 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 another expletive that we're probably not permitted to print here ), follow this advice.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it is all about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more potent than your standard uppercut, hook, or straight. There are three basic ways 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 left or right. 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 sure to get in there fast. Also remember that your opponent can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance when possible.

it's also vital to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a sequence of jabs. The poke is the swiftest one in the entire game, so your best bet is to land one in when your contestant 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 cautious with this one : you could get docked a point, or be disqualified.

So just try these pointers, and you will 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.
