I know your feeling, I had some sort of bad "luck" escalation experience as well.
Not to mention these 2x skull dice which came back even after a reroll ...

I finished the campaign, pretty good. Then I started playing in a league and uninstalled for these reasons:

- I have no rerolls and the enemies have 3.
- They break out of 3-4-5 or even 6 tackle zones like it's nothing, not even using a reroll. Like my players are in a different dimension or something.
- Big guys are useless with all those tragic negative skills. Wasted blitzes, wasted rerolls, seriously? And they don't have Block? What?!
- Injuries that permanently reduce stats? Really?


Same feeling here, hard to restart with a brand new team after finishing campaign.
I guess the game need some "re-balance" updates ... several updates ...

I started a ligue with Chaos race, first match against Orcs and I won 1-0 but got like 4 injured (Minautor included) and 2 death, of course apothecary didn't help... Sad

Aren't these rules taken from the tabletop game? But I do agree something feels wrong with the tacklezone. By now I've played at least 8 games against the dwarves, fuckers dodged past my entire line like they're wood elves with dodge. And that's been happening literally every time except once.

So I thought, maybe I'll give one of the linesmen shadowing. Nope, didn't help. I often fail the roll for shadowing, and if not they just run past my guys like before. Whats the point of agility if even fucking dwarves can dance around like that. And I'm not even talking about the blitzers or runners. Those I always knockdown as high priority.

Yes, the rules are derived from the Living Rulebook, which is what the tabletop version uses. There's nothing to balance really, the rules have been tweaked over the last 20+ years, long before Cyanide ever came along.

As to dwarfs dodging, that sounds odd. Typically they will only do that as a last resort of desperation, not as a standard tactic. I'm getting to the end of my current custom league run, around 60 matches in. I've played against dwarfs on multiple occasions and only very rarely saw them attempt dodges.

That's what I would expect too, at least I'm still winning. Just a bit frustrated that they could keep gambling like that and get away with it. No re-rolls needed too.

I think you got one on PS4 and the other on XBO but on PC (Or at least the Steam version.) you got both when pre-purchasing the game. Smile

To respect the PC players of the first Blood Bowl game, which accumulated 23 races through 3 paying editions - we have heard their frustration - we decided to create the FOUNDERS INCENTIVE for PC players of Blood Bowl 2: players will receive the Norse, the Undead, the Necromantic and the Nurgle teams for free, as long as they purchased the game before the races release.


Shocked

Hey coaches,

The Legendary Edition of Blood Bowl 2 has been announced at Le What's Next de Focus, our press event last week. We're pleased to finally unveil all the info about this new edition!

Release date
2017 – we’re aiming at this summer but depending on how the tests go, it may be a bit delayed. We have some complicated features on the list (rez mode for example) and we want to implement them correctly. We'd prefer a slight delay than a messy launch.

Price
    For new players: the Legendary Edition with ALL the content of Blood Bowl 2 at the price of a full game. Contains BB2 base game + Race Pack (Wood Elf/Lizardmen/Nurgle/Norse/Necromantic/Undead/Chaos Dwarfs/Khemri) + Official Expansion.
    For existing owners of BB2: the Official Expansion content for the price of a big DLC.
    The "Race Pack" with all teams released between Launch and Legendary Edition (Wood Elf/Lizardmen/Nurgle/Norse/Necromantic/Undead/Chaos Dwarfs/Khemri) will be available soon.
    You'll still be able to purchase individual races if you wish.


Compatibility
Full compatibility between the 2 versions. Most small features and quality of life changes will be available to all BB2 players, even those who didn't purchase the Official Expansion.

Content of the Official Expansion
  • 8 new races
    • Amazons
    • Goblins
    • Vampires
    • Ogres
    • Halflings
    • Pro Elves
    • Underworld
    • Kislev (based on the rules of Slanns)
      For a total of 24 races (the current 14 + Chaos Dwarfs + Khemri + 8 new)

  • Swiss system competition
  • Resurrection Mode
      No lasting SPP/injuries between each round.
      Evolution of teams between each round set in TV.

  • Team Editor
      Choose a race and get unlimited gold, as well as the option to add any skill/stat/injury.
      These teams get a tag “custom team” which can be banned from a league.
      Our goal with the combo “team editor + resurrection mode + Swiss system” is to give the opportunity to players to experience the rules played on tabletop.

  • New solo campaign mode
      Any race.
      Perpetual campaign.
      You have a map where you can go from a competition to another.
      Less cinematics/story and more freedom.

  • A brand new stadium based on the “Khemri” theme
  • Mercenary teams
      Teams composed of players picked from different races.
      Several groups of teams you can pick your players from (i.e “Elf team” = Pro Elf, WE, HE, DE).
      These teams will also have a specific tag – they won’t be allowed in Champion Ladder for example.

  • Star Player team
      Teams composed of 16 Starplayers.
      These teams will have a specific tag as well.

  • New chat tab in a league
      Accessible by all coaches with a team registered in the league.

  • Post-match chat
      You can discuss with your opponent even after the end of the game, as long as you stay on the “end of the match” screen.

  • Manual seeding in competitions.
  • Possibility to play a league with a mix of human players and AI teams.
  • AI enhancement
      The AI will now takes into account the current turn of the game (and not cross the pitch with dwarfs at turn 16).

  • Optional skills
      It’s been discussed a lot with the community – more skills will be optional (Kick, Pass, Grab, Side Step, Dodge, Tackle, Fend, Tentacles, Stand Firm, Break Tackle).

  • Free Camera Mode
  • Save during a singleplayer match.
  • Option to deactivate ageing in solo.
  • Enhanced Competition Administration
      Possibility to admin a match in details (to decide TDs, injuries, SPP…)

  • A pause system in multiplayer
      3 pauses per player per game.
      No time limit to a pause.
      Any player can unpause at anytime during a pause (even 5 seconds after a player paused).
      Players can use the chat during the pause.

  • FAME displayed during a match
  • New cheerleader models (not one per team, but a bit more diversity).
  • Cheerleaders will have the same colors as the team they're supporting.
  • Option to display the tooltip in dices probability (“2+” instead of “83%”).
  • A lot more Starplayers
      We aim at 50 Starplayers total.
      They won't all have a "premium skin" but we want to make them all available gameplay-wise.

  • Option to mute chat in match
  • Option to ban players from a competition in-game.
  • A lot of other small things – mainly “quality of life” improvements.


95% of the content of the Legendary Edition is directly taken from your feedback and suggestions about Blood Bowl 2 since launch. Thanks for being this commited and enthusiastic toward Blood Bowl!

It's actually called that? Eh I guess there's worse names ("Bowl of blood edition." or whatever.) and with modding being a thing I guess there's a couple of unofficial expansions already for this game series. Very Happy

It's not that bad - it's only 5 gigs.


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Not surprising. The real question is what is a third game going to bring to the table? Besides nickel and diming on teams again with DLC and multiple editions presumably.
