Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've been on. I retired from blood bowl a few months back, but I am curious what everyone thinks of BB2? Pros and cons? Better or worse than BBLE? I hope everyone is doing well, and that IP is going strong! about BB2 well you will hear different views on the matter, I for one now love it more than BB1. For me the players that hate it I see them like the vampires in the Anne Rice books they are Lestat and cant or dont adapt well to change, they will like old star wars fans swear that ep 4 a new hope is awesome even though there is just so much wrong with it, they will ignore what is wrong with BB1 simply because they got used to it and all the bugs, just like luke skywalker who is a whinie brat but these same fans dont see it and just point out Anikin is... (i hate em both) youtu.be/bsb9ZTmbSKQ must see @ 1:21 luke and dad LOL The obvious cons I see are the lack of teams and variety mostly, pretty sure we can all agree that's a negative factor...and the poor optimisation that leads to relatively high system requirements. Now hear me out, I'm sure this isn't an issue to anyone with a pc from this decade :-) For my poor broke assed 2007 potato though it's too much, despite a graphics card and memory update. I've seen much more detailed, much more mathematically intensive games run just fine on it but bb seems very poorly optimised graphically. I'm 95% sure from watching friends play that I would prefer bb2 if I had a pc that ran it, but I'm also pretty sure that until the rosters expand fairly rapidly I'd still play bb1 more if I had both. That's not to argue that bb1 is some rose tinted perfect thing, there's things about it drive me nuts even now! I genuinely want to love bb2. I just have no faith in cyanide.

Hell yeah! Necro and nurgle will make it 4 out of my holy 5 in BB2. Then it might actually be worth joining more than one bb2 league at a time.

I may have to buy Blood Bowl 2 for PC, as well, then. Because I want those races.

Sounds like at first it will only be Norse, with the others appearing one at a time when they're ready. Boo Norse! I want my necros, the team with the real wolves.

Scheeze, I'm still getting stuck at the point where it says "Blood Bowl 2" has stopped working !!! I've tried everything or at least it feels like it, so I guess I'll keep the more varied Chaos Edition around.

Still didn't work, CJ, but I've got a few more things dealing with the game. I think it's going to be rotten of Cyanide to close the servers for BB1 in June as I've seen in some forums !!!. I've cleverly kept BB1 Chaos Edition which to me at this point might be my only option for playing.
