As someone who picked up BB1 on a whim then went and sunk 300+ hours into it, how does BB2 stand up in comparison? Should I wait for a sale? More teams? The graphics are nice and all but I can easily play BB1 with the current pretties and be satisfied, especially since the roster is almost double. Do I wait for a steam sale? Are the upgrades sufficient enough to invest the ridiculous price tag for a game I already have?
Joined the Open League. Now to find some time to wrestle my anxiety issues to the ground actually play against a fellow human being at some point.
Make a team consisting entirely of Brettonian Peasants. Spend your turns clicking on them so they yell funny, and then ganging up on one guy and fouling the crap out of them.
So my dorfs were facing off against some Dark Elves. The fella is a bit chatty as the game goes on. Then he starts getting, well, annoyed.
As you can see, at the start of the match he was totally accepting of a bashy approach. Injuries started piling up on his side and he became less understanding. This guy got pretty salty, to the point of questioning what sort of person would play a dwarf team and how unfair it is. So I tie the game 1-1 in the second half.
Which, you know, I am okay with. I'm dwarf, he's a team of 4 agi dodgers, that's just kind of the thing he does. I even cheer and congratulate him, but this guy is so damn salty he just keep whining repeatedly about it just being so unfair. I just got good injury rolls. I'm ready to let him get the turn 16 touchdown, but still, he keeps ragging me for playing dwarf. Well, if that's the way you want to be.
My final turn. Tie game, is tied Delves in the clear to score, that have another turn to do it in and nobody in range to stop them out of spite.
I had terrible luck vs Chaos last night. Constant failed Bonehead rolls and double skulls/both downs.
Ended up letting him beat down my skinks (journeyman skinks can't get MVP, so more Saurus xp) and score TDs on some guys close to leveling, while I punched his journeyman Beastman around for sp.

Blood Bowl is simply not the game to play if you're sensitive to getting fucked by the Random Number God.
I think this is main reason why I've never played against actual people in BB1. I'm just always afraid that they are just gonna get salty and make the game less fun than simply hammering the AI.
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. ~ Terry Pratchett
I'd say that's a pretty timely patch, hopefully they'll keep on trucking. This version of the game looks and plays (imo) much better, I just want all the teams!
I have this for PC and PS4 - anyone else on the playstation? I picked it up to play with a buddy of mine (then immediately got bummed realizing I won't have the Lizardmen or Wood Elves...). I'd like to get some other people together for a fun ps4 league or something, to show my friends the ropes (aka we kill their guys hah).
I've got it on X1, for some reason, I couldn't log into the bb2 servers, even after the XBL outage was fixed. Hopefully that was just a delay in the path getting distributed or something and it will work tonight.
XBL: Morgan Coke Yes, there is a space, not an underscore. I'm old school like that.

Played my first Blood Bowl 2 match against some random person - my Dark Elves against their Lizardmen. After the injury of one blitzer and the death of a lineman, I managed to score an early touchdown. The rest of the first half was spent beating up on their Skinks and I managed to either injure or KO all of them.
Second half, they have the ball, none of their Skinks are back. By some miracle, one of their Sauruses manages to pick up the ball and slowly make its way down the field. My severely diminished Elves (another injury and a number of KOs) manage to stall them for almost long enough.
Turn 16, the Saurus ball carrier has a clear line to the endzone. It just has to make two Going For It rolls without rerolls. It makes the first, but not the second.
A 1-0 victory, with one dead Elf and two injured ones. Not a bad start, all things considered.

You'll lose, but YEARRRRGH

And then this sequence happens.
Which, you know, I am okay with. I'm dwarf, he's a team of 4 agi dodgers, that's just kind of the thing he does. I even cheer and congratulate him, but this guy is so damn salty he just keep whining repeatedly about it just being so unfair. I just got good injury rolls.

this seems like an oversight.

also, watching my last replay from yesterday... I play terrible when I'm drunk.
I call it training.

skinks are an abomination unto the lord though
They both scream in agony when a dorf beats them to the ground.

One was a death apoth'd to MNG. I think there's like three more MNG, two BH, and two stat losses.
When that happened to my skavens (though I had a death) I only managed to eke out a tie.
He kept getting good blitzes on my carrier, costing me too many turns, so I only tied.
First bold is my highlight from the patch. Second removes the issue @chrisnl was concerned about.
best patch ever.

blood bowl is much more fun than work.
rookie mistake right there.
I think I may have time for one game, maybe. Somehow.
EDIT: Or not? Ah well. Maybe some other time.
so satisfying.
This is why my bretonian team name is Tis but a flesh wound.
Second half, they have the ball, none of their Skinks are back. By some miracle, one of their Sauruses manages to pick up the ball and slowly make its way down the field. My severely diminished Elves (another injury and a number of KOs) manage to stall them for almost long enough.
