Fight Night Round 4 and FIFA 09 Sports Games Winning Secrets

FIFA soccer 09

Who doesn't really like FIFA 09, with all of 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 need to score more goals. And the only way to score those points is to be told how to make your kicks count. Here are a few strategies that should do the job.

First, there's the hard low shot, a great move to make when you are further back on the 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's all about the fast tap ( by quick tap, I'm referring only to FIFA football 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. 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 fave 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 it down pat, you will be cleaning out your rivals' accounts each time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all the records of sports games, the boxing game has traditionally been a specific favourite. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in thrashing your competitor 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 four 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 cuss word that we are possibly not allowed to print here ), follow this advice.

First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it is all about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is far more potent than your typical uppercut, hook, or straight. There are three basic techniques 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 preparing to get one in, lean back left or right. Then, go to the town. Third, 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 certain 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 when possible.

it's also crucial to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of pokes. The jab is the fastest one in the whole game, so your best shot 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 opponent 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'll 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.
