Fight Night Round 4 and FIFA 09 Sports Games Winning Secrets

FIFA soccer 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'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 discover 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 further back on the playing field. To pull this one off, do a quick double tap - or 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'm referring only to FIFA soccer game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' somewhere else, that's'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. Simply do not 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 refinement shot is recommended for when you're nearer to the goal, versus the hard low shot.

These tips are straightforward to learn, and after getting the hang of it, you'll be cleaning out your rivals' accounts each time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all the annals of sports games, the boxing game has often been a particular favorite. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in beating your opponent at soccer, football, or Basketball. But there's something downright therapeutic 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 swear word that we are possibly 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 strong than your standard 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 getting ready to get one in, lean back left or right. Then, go to the city. 3rd, bob ; use semi-circle movements with the left stick to bob out of the way. Word of advice, though - act fast! You don't have a hell of lots of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure to get in there fast. Also remember that your contestant can land in a solid counter-punch after they've blocked, ducked or weaved. So attempt to keep your distance whenever possible.

it is also crucial to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a sequence of jabs. The poke is the speediest one in the whole 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 careful 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 claimed, there's just nothing like settling the score with fisticuffs.
