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

FIFA football 09

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

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you are further back on the field. To pull this one off, do a fast double tap - or perhaps 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 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 understand 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' finesse 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've a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the finesse shot is recommended for when you're nearer to the goal, vs the hard low shot.

These tips are simple to learn, and after getting the trick down pat, you'll be cleaning out your rivals' accounts each time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all of the records of sports games, the fighting game has always been a particular favourite. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in thrashing your opponent at soccer, soccer, 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 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 another cuss word that we are probably not allowed to print here ), follow these pointers.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it is all 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 three 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. 3rd, 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 lots of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure to get in there fast. Also remember that your adversary can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So try and keep your distance whenever it's possible.

it is also vital to keep your opponent off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of pokes. The poke is the speediest one in the entire game, so your best chance 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 competitor has you on the ropes? Nothing a well-placed head butt or body blow can't fix. Just be careful with this one : you might 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 quite like settling the score with fisticuffs.
