FIFA Soccer 09 and Fight Night Round 4 Sports Video Games Winning Tips

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 a few fake-outs. But we're all about winning here, and in order to do that, you want to score more goals. And the simplest way to score those points is to learn how to make your kicks count. Here are some techniques that should do the trick.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you're farther back on the field. To tug this one off, do a quick double tap - or perhaps triple tap - on the shoot button. Whatever you do, don't hold the button down too long. Remember, it is about the quick tap ( by quick tap, I am referring only to FIFA soccer game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' elsewhere, that's'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 don't hit this one too hard, or it goes flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' finesse shot, a favorite 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 finesse shot is recommended for when you are nearer to the goal, as opposed to the hard low shot.

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

Fight Night Round Four

In all the annals of sports games, the fighting game has traditionally been a selected fave. Sure, there's an amazing 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 greatest 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 expletive that we're likely not allowed to print here ), follow these tips.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more powerful than your standard uppercut, hook, or straight. There are 3 basic methods 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 right or left. Then, go to the 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 a lot of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure to get in there swiftly. Also remember that your opponent can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance whenever possible.

it is also crucial to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of jabs. The jab is the swiftest 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 unclean. Your opponent 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'll 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.
