Fight Night Round 4 and FIFA 09 Sports Games Winning Secrets

FIFA football 09

Who doesn't love FIFA 09, with all the tricks and techniques? There's nothing better than showing up your rivals with one or two fake-outs. But we're all about winning here, and in order to do that, you need to score more goals. And the only way to score those points is to learn how to make your kicks count. Here are some 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 perhaps triple tap - on the shoot button. Whatever you do, don't hold the button down too long. Remember, it is about the fast tap ( by fast tap, I am referring only to FIFA football game tournament - if you are doing the'quick tap' some place else, that is's your business... ).

Also good to understand is the chip shot. Do this with a combo of the LB and shoot button ; the ball goes right over the goal tender. Just do not hit this one too hard, or it goes flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' refinement shot, a favourite 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're nearer to the goal, versus the hard low shot.

These tips are straightforward 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 of the annals of sports games, the fighting game has always been a particular favourite. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in beating your contestant at football, soccer, 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 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 is all about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is far more strong than your classic 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 opponent's punch lands. Second is the lean ; right as your rival is about to get one in, lean back left or right. Then, go to town. 3rd, bob ; use semi-circle movements with the left stick to bob out of the way. Word of warning, though - act fast! You do not have a hell of lots of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure to get in there swiftly. Also remember that your contestant can land in a solid counter-punch after they have blocked, ducked or weaved. So try to keep your distance when possible.

it is also crucial to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a sequence of pokes. The poke is the speediest one in the whole game, so your best chance 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 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 could have your opponents eating canvas ( served up with a side of crow ). Like we revealed, there's just nothing like settling the score with fisticuffs.
