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

FIFA football 09

Who does not love FIFA 09, with all of the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with some fake-outs. But all of us are about winning here, and to do that, you want to score more goals. And the simplest way to score those points is to discover how to make your kicks count. Here are a few techniques that should do the job.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you're farther back on the playing field. To pull this one off, do a quick double tap - or triple tap - on the shoot button. Whatever you do, don't hold the button down too long. Remember, it's about the quick tap ( by fast tap, I'm referring only to FIFA football game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' some place else, that's's your business... ).

Also good to understand is the chip shot. Do this with a combo of the LB and shoot button ; the ball goes right over the goalie. 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 got a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the refinement shot is recommended for when you're closer to the goal, versus the hard low shot.

These tips are straightforward 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 the records of sports games, the fighting game has traditionally been a selected fave. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in beating your opponent 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 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 cuss word that we are probably 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 strong than your typical 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 about to get one in, lean back left or right. Then, go to the city. 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 sure to get in there fast. Also remember that your opponent can land in a solid counter-punch after they've blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance when possible.

it's also crucial to keep your opponent off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a series of jabs. The poke is the swiftest one in the whole 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 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 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 claimed, there's just nothing like settling the score with fisticuffs.
