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 a few fake-outs. But all of us are about winning here, and in order to do that, you need to score more goals. And the simplest way to score those points is to be told how to make your kicks count. Here are a few methodologies 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 fast tap ( by fast tap, I'm referring only to FIFA soccer game tournament - if you are 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 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 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, as opposed to 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 every time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all the annals of sports games, the fighting game has always been a specific favourite. Sure, there's a tremendous satisfaction in beating your opponent 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 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 possibly not permitted to print here ), follow these tips.

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

it is also important to keep your opponent off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a sequence of jabs. The jab is the fastest one in the entire 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 filthy. 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 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 revealed, there's just nothing quite like settling the score with fisticuffs.
