XBOX 360 vs Amiga SWOS 96/97 (which is better)

I m a huge fan of the Amiga 96/97 Swos version (now played via emulator on windows with updated player names):
www.sensiblesoccer.info/forum/index.php?topic=18414.0

and I got quite excited when I heard SWOS was being revamped for XBOX 360.
I was hoping that the graphics would be improved, along with some in game modifications.
I would have loved it if they improved all the set pieces, added volleys and overhead kicks, along with better keeper intelligence (including occasional mistakes) so that you could sometimes score at near post, with more tip-overs, parries etc.

But after watching the following vid of the XBOX version:

it appears they haven t really changed much at all, apart from the graphics.
And correct me if I m wrong, but the diagonal curling shot looks far too easy to pull off???

If you have played alot of the Amiga 96/97 Swos, aswell as the new XBOX version,
please let me know which one you think has better game play???

Thats a really hard question to ask and probably harder to answer as all will have their different views. Ive played both but have to admit that have not played the amiga version online via pc. But heres my thoughts:-

amiga 96/97 swos vs Xbla swos are two totally different games with the same starting foundations.

Down sides to Xbla swos (after saying for the thousandth time that codemasters are twats for no patch support)
- There is no way of making custom tactics for your team so you are therefore restricted to the default formations.
- Lag is an issue and while when playing single player you can header and tackle at your leisure, online it depends totally on how well you connect with your opponent in your ability to use these moves.
- No patch to change names to correct names.
- the goalie does cough up the ball and you can header goals off his mistakes as well as do slide in goals from his fluff ups.

Other than that a nice community of players have formed where there is no dropping out and the games are well regulated in the fair play structure. I find that the goal keepers are a little better in xbox version and while the video you showed made out that the diagonal curl was easy to score, it can very much depend on the goalies prowess on the day as sometimes you might shoot 20 diagonal curls and score only 2 past the goalie while other games every one you shoot goes right in. Defence on xbox is a big feature to stopping digaonals and curls and I find that its harder to score the banana kicks on xbox then it is on the amiga version. The graphics are great and the playability is very good once you make peace with the issues it has via codemasters inability to follow through with what they started.

Is it better than the amiga 96/97 version? I dont think anyone can answer that for anyone else except themselves as it will depend on what your personal experience will get from either game modes. I for one love both and prefer playing the xbox version but there are as many who will probably say the opposite.
