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

FIFA football 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 all of us are about winning here, and in order to do that, you need 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 strategies that should do the trick.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you are farther back on the field. To tug this one off, do a quick 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' elsewhere, 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 goalie. Just do not hit this one too hard, or it is going 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, 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 annals of sports games, the fighting game has always been a specific fave. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in thrashing your contestant at football, 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 to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, and make your rival holler'Uncle!' ( or some other cuss word that we're likely 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 strong than your standard 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 opponent's's punch lands. Second is the lean ; right as your rival is about to get one in, lean back right or left. Then, go to the city. Third, 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 certain 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 crucial to keep your opponent off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a sequence of pokes. The jab is the fastest one in the whole game, so your best bet 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 unclean. Your contestant has you on the ropes? Nothing a well-placed head butt or body blow can't fix. Just take care with this one : you might get docked a point, or be disqualified.

So just try these pointers, 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.
