Fight Night Round 4 and FIFA 09 Sports Games Winning Secrets

FIFA football 09

Who doesn't 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 need to score more goals. And the simplest way to score those points is to be told how to make your kicks count. Here are one or two 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 field. To tug this one off, do a quick 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 am referring only to FIFA football game tournament - if you're doing the'quick tap' elsewhere, that is'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 goal tender. Just do not hit this one too hard, or it goes flying over the net.

And then there's the ever-lovin' finesse 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 are closer to the goal, versus the hard low shot.

These tips are simple to learn, and after getting the hang of it, you will be cleaning out your rivals' accounts every time.

Fight Night Round Four

In all the annals of sports games, the boxing game has always been a specific fave. Sure, there's an amazing satisfaction in beating your contestant 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 some other cuss word that we are likely 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 strong than your typical uppercut, hook, or straight. There are three basic ways to get the counter-punch. First, the well-timed block ; put up your guard right as your opponent's'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 town. 3rd, bob ; use semi-circle movements with the left stick to bob out of the way. Word of caution, though - act fast! You don't have a hell of a lot 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 try and keep your distance whenever possible.

it's also crucial to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a collection of pokes. The jab is the swiftest one in the whole game, so your best shot 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 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 claimed, there's just nothing like settling the score with fisticuffs.
