Fight Night Round 4 and FIFA 09 Sports Games Winning Secrets

FIFA soccer 09

Who does not love FIFA 09, with all of the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with some fake-outs. But we're all about winning here, and to do that, you want to score more goals. And the best way to score those points is to be told 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're further back on the playing 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 is about the quick tap ( by fast tap, I'm referring only to FIFA soccer game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' some place else, 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. 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 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 closer to the goal, versus 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 of the records of sports games, the boxing game has traditionally been a particular fave. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in beating your contestant at football, 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 another expletive that we are probably not permitted to print here ), follow these pointers.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more strong than your typical uppercut, hook, or straight. There are three basic methods 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 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 warning, though - act fast! You don't have a hell of a lot of time to make the counter-punch, so be certain to get in there swiftly. Also remember that your adversary can land in a solid counter-punch after they've blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance whenever possible.

it's also crucial to keep your contestant off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of pokes. The jab is the swiftest one in the entire game, so your best bet is to land one in when your contestant 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 be careful with this one : you could get docked a point, or be disqualified.

So just try these tips, and you will 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.
