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 a few fake-outs. But all of us are about winning here, and in order 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 are 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 soccer game tournament - if you're 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 goal tender. Just do not hit this one too hard, or it is going 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 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, as opposed to the hard low shot.
These tips are straightforward to learn, and after getting the trick down pat, you'll be cleaning out your rivals' accounts each time.
Fight Night Round Four
In all the annals of sports games, the fighting game has traditionally been a selected favorite. Sure, there's an incredible satisfaction in beating your contestant 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 greatest 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 swear word that we're likely not allowed to print here ), follow this advice.
First and Foreman... Er, foremost, it's about the counter-punch. Land one of these in, and the effect is much more potent 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 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 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 plenty of time to make the counter-punch, so be sure 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 attempt to keep your distance when possible.
it is also important to keep your competitor off-balance ( literally and figuratively ) with a series of jabs. The poke is the speediest one in the entire 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 filthy. Your competitor has you on the ropes? Nothing a well-placed head butt or body blow can't fix. Just take care with this one : you might get docked a point, or be disqualified.
So just try these tips, 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.
