SWOS for XBLA fixed News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

The ghost of Christmas past.

Those of you still lost in the whirlwind of Christmas will be glad to know Codemasters Online Gaming has fixed issues with Sensible World of Soccer on Xbox Live.

It actually remedied problems before Santa squeezed his way down our chimneys, but Tom had already toddled off to wrap his presents in mince pies and sing his way to the bottom of a bottle of wine by then.

If you have the old version that helpfully disconnected you from Live after installation, you should delete it from your hard drive and download the new game - this won't incur any extra charges.

Oh, and happy new year from everyone at Eurogamer. Which is to say "Tom and I", because everyone else will stumble in at about 9.30.

Bitched when it was not there.
Bought and downloaded it when it was.
Played and discarded it after a few minutes.

play fifa 2008 instead.

loved swos at the time but that was over 10 years ago, it's dated now and for me almost unplayable.

Sorry to be pedantic, but shouldn't that be "Happy new year from Tom and ME". If you were on your own you wouldn't say " Happy new year from I", would you.
Apologies again but that's creeping in everywhere along with the dreaded "HAITCH" and I hate it.

I DL'd the trial version of this to see what all the fuss was about. I've scored 3 goals in about 20 games.

Fun, but frustrating.

Still not fixed. Games crash near the end and worse you can rarely tackle or head the ball in the online version. How long do they need to get this right. It was meant to be released 1st quarter 2007
