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

FIFA football 09

Who doesn't really like FIFA 09, with all the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with a few fake-outs. But we are all about winning here, and 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 a few techniques that should do the job.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you're farther back on the playing field. To drag 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's about the fast tap ( by quick tap, I'm referring only to FIFA football game tournament - if you're doing the'quick tap' somewhere else, that is's your business... ).

Also good to grasp is the chip shot. Do this with a combo of the LB and shoot button ; the ball goes right over the goalkeeper. 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've got a moment to stop and try for a well-aimed shot ; the finesse 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 records of sports games, the boxing game has often been a particular fave. Sure, there's an incredible 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 in order to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, and make your rival holler'Uncle!' ( or another cuss word that we're possibly 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 typical uppercut, hook, or straight. There are 3 basic techniques to get the counter-punch. First, the well-timed block ; put up your guard right as your opponent'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 town. 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 plenty 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've blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance when possible.

it's also vital to keep your opponent off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of jabs. The poke is the speediest one in the whole 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 take care 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 said, there's just nothing like settling the score with fisticuffs.
