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

FIFA soccer 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 in order to do that, you want to score more goals. And the best 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 are farther back on the field. To drag 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 soccer game tournament - if you're doing the'quick tap' somewhere else, that is's your business... ).

Also good to know is the chip shot. Do this with a combo of the LB and shoot button ; the ball goes right over the goal tender. Simply do not hit this one too hard, or it goes flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' refinement 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 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 trick down pat, you will be cleaning out your rivals' accounts each time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all of the records of sports games, the fighting game has often been a selected favorite. Sure, there's a tremendous satisfaction in thrashing your contestant 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 another swear word that we're probably not permitted to print here ), follow these tips.

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 typical uppercut, hook, or straight. There are three basic methods to get the counter-punch. First, the well-timed block ; put up your guard right as your opponent's's punch lands. Second is the lean ; right as your rival is preparing to get one in, lean back left or right. Then, go to the city. 3rd, 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 lots of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure to get in there quickly . Also remember that your opponent can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So attempt 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 whole game, so your best chance 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 competitor 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 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.
