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

FIFA football 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 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 one or two strategies that should do the job.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you are farther back on the field. To drag this one off, do a fast 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 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 goalkeeper. Simply do not hit this one too hard, or it is going flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' finesse shot, a fave 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 a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the finesse shot is recommended for when you are closer to the goal, versus the hard low shot.

These tips are straightforward to learn, and after getting the hang of it, you'll 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 favourite. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in thrashing your competitor at soccer, 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 4 game, where you get to play as some of the best 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 swear word that we're possibly not permitted to print here ), follow this advice.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more powerful 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 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. Third, 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 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 when possible.

it is also crucial to keep your contestant off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a series of jabs. The poke is the speediest one in the entire game, so your best shot is to land one in when your adversary is swinging an uppercut or a hook at you.

And when all else fails, do what comes naturally : fight dirty. Your contestant has you on the ropes? Nothing a well-placed head butt or body blow can't fix. Just be cautious with this one : you might get docked a point, or be disqualified.

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