I'll buy it -- if the UI is better, there are less bugs, and there are actual features added.  If it's just better graphics and more new teams...

Gotta keep milking the cow.

I don't know about the whole "all the teams" thing.  If they tackle this the same way they've been doing their Dungeon Bowl thing, expect DLC teams, Star Players, and other nickle/dime stuffs.

To me, a DLC model works a lot better than the new edition model they've been running with for years. I'm assuming it's because the original BB was built before DLC became so prominent and so wasn't designed from the ground up for it. As long as you can play AGAINST teams you haven't bought in multiplayer, then I'm fine with DLC teams.

Then I'll still buy it!  

The feature I want the most: something akin to battle.net where you can go browse other people's teams/players/stats on a website.
#2 would be real controls for replays.

La suite en chantier depuis 6 mois, bientôt dévoilée. Sortie prévue 2014! Check out this #BloodBowl logo!

I'm OK with dlc teams, just so long as they are all there at launch.

Otherwise, why switch?

One lovely thing would be to have BB2 compatible with Leagues created in BB 1. But that's dreaming, eh?

Do you really think they are even remotely capable of such a feat?

I'm with Haemish. Better UI and more social and League tools would be a good boost to me. Lots more Star Players would be another. But I have very little faith they will come out with something rasonable. I expect the price/content ratio to be very disappointing at launch when compared with BB Chaos Edition.

Amateurs of violence that seek a strategy executed by millimeters are delighted, the new Blood Bowl is here! Mixing football and creatures in the universe of the Warhammer strategy game is basically the game.


Released in June 2009, the first installment of the series had kept all its promises by giving us a very close game the original title. This bloody version of football already had everything to please the purists as strategists in grass.

Blood Bowl 2 contains the recipe for elder with an increasingly violent and quirky background. With a new graphics engine, the characters seem less "cartoon" and more faithful to the license of Game Workshop. From what we could see during the presentation, the graphics are really successful. The stadiums are full of details while players have more accessories. It's exhilarating to see how Cyanide has once again managed to visually recreate the atmosphere of the original board game.

In its release, the game will feature no less than 8 races and five different types of stages. Knowing that the stages can be upgraded 3 times, it leaves a lot of room for manoeuvre.

Besides gameplay, the developers wanted to focus this time on the "turn" appearance. Exit, therefore, the choice between real-time and turn-based. This time we focus on the essence of the game: strategy. And it's not so bad because, let's face it, playing live was almost impossible. Blood Bowl is, despite its barbaric appearance and devoid of good feeling, a real strategy game. It's a bit like chess you are required to move your pieces without pause. Even Kasparov would have struggled in those conditions!


A brand new campaign mode will also be taking part with a scripted progression for more epic matches. Play the role of the Reikland Reavers, a prestigious team in the Blood Bowl universe. The story is completely linear and allow you to familiarise yourself with the many rules of the sport. We did not get to see more of that side, but we were promised a completely crossed scenario where more than the fate of our team, the fate of the entire galaxy is in our hands ... We look forward to seeing it anyway!


For once, the League mode is the one that made us salivate more. Tasty mix between a manager and a football game in the series of NFL, it invites us to manage our retail team and its progress in the League. You will manage your budget and through the acquisition of sponsors, buying super-stars, the standard rewards of referees (or jars of wine if you prefer), expanding your stadium and so on and better. For further games, which require a good dose of strategy and know-how, management of your team will indeed be a crucial element of the game


In multiplayer, you can choose between participating in the official league or create your own league. In the official league, you have access to a system where players Mercato "stars" will be available to transfer for a short time. This initiative is noteworthy because I think it helps a lot to delve into the game world

Ultimately, Blood Bowl 2 wants in just his eldest line. Both violent and tactical, new baby Cyanide sure to delight fans as well as newcomers.

Final Verdict for the game's release in late 2014!

damn it looks like a skyrim mod armor.
are they gona include real time mode this time?  :why_so_serious:

You do not change a winning team unless the star player has been sent to the morgue, and it is therefore not too surprising that Cyanide Studio and Focus Home Interactive unite for a new adaptation of Franchise Blood Bowl of Games Workshop .

Blood Bowl II course we invited to participate once more in the deadliest championship sports history by opposing teams inspired by the various races of the universe Warhammer joy and good humor. The aim is always to offer a true to the original board game experience, but the success of the first episode and its extensions stand-alone , sold over a million copies, has allowed developers to build still largest ever fine for this "true" result.

BLODGE THIS!

Rather than build on the foundation of the first episode, Cyanide Studio has decided to make a clean sweep for Blood Bowl II and rebuild while pulling obviously on his experience of the franchise. If you suddenly find art direction still wedged between medieval sport and nice humorous parody, the graphics engine and interface have very little to do with what we have known so far. Often criticised, the user interface of Blood Bowl was sprayed with dynamite to be replaced by a more modern style, lighter and sleeker. Cyanide Studio wants concise this time and we offer menus much less congested who go to the essentials. Record each player is suddenly much better arranged, providing direct insight necessary statistics without drowning the user in an avalanche of unnecessary information. Simulated cards Panini version of Blood Bowl has even been incorporated into the game to represent each star in a very visual way, involving all key skills in a single block identifiable at a glance. Even discovering the game for the first time, it was childish for playing Blood Bowl to identify a Blitzer human, its stats and skills ( Tackle , Mighty Blow , Piling On , and other attributes of subtle guy) without having to read the single line of text. It does not sacrifice the richness of the original rules but obviously earns a lot in readability. We can only applaud with both hands. This will facilitate reading countless sometimes obscure rules and information franchise Games Workshop does not stop in the menus but also continues during games. The scenes of gameplay that we could see were quite brief and obviously still under construction but you can still expect an ergonomics effort this side too. The sake of clarity and problems using certain skills that sometimes handicapping the first episode could therefore well be part of the past. Fingers crossed.


HAND GAME

Who says scenes gameplay said obviously overview of the new graphics rendering Blood Bowl II . Cyanide Studio has been busy at this level and this result seems to finally have a technical level equal to the excellent art direction this since the first game Blood Bowl developer. . Immediately we feel great attention to detail and effort staged with the addition of a bunch of small sketches funny game around it seems that the studio has also enjoyed the cinematic camera XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Blood Bowl II we now offer a small spectacular staging in stock not to be missed. This view in the heart of the action, that can be quite off in the options, will be reserved for key moments (injuries / deaths, drive, pass, etc..) And has enabled us to see a lineman human facies smash a goblin in closeup. The animations seem much more than before and it worked very sporty side, the players did not hesitate to show their joy when they trample an opponent, obviously adds to the ambiance. And the atmosphere should not miss in Blood Bowl II , thanks to the arrival of new stadiums. We have so far seen as the home of our friends, the Orcs but the improvement this simple wasteland now allows to gradually transform into a version heroic fantasy Camp Nou. The animation in the stands should add a layer of excitement when wealthy team will host a group while lousy home. The game will feature five different stages in the output and one imagines that their expansion over the victories will be part of the motivations of the single player campaign. This obviously we propose to assume the role of coach in Reikland Reavers , a team fell in a dramatic decline after years of celebration a bit too intense. This solitaire game will quite obviously scripted with fixed stars that need to be restore the prestige and unique events designed to shake up our habits. Cyanide Studio also announced that the AI will play a completely different way in the controlled team and will even be able to take specific predefined behaviors. A very edgy team Orcs that completely ignore the ball and you prefer to walk on the facies is not an impossibility. Sports lovers also greet the arrival of a transfer window for the exchange of stars or a complete overhaul of sponsor. Each visionary brand of the universe Warhammer you now affect special purposes (such as killing a certain number of players for a group of funeral) with the key rewards if successful. But the campaign is never one of facets of Blood Bowl II and lovers of the franchise also find custom championships and a multiplayer game push. If it has unfortunately not been able to discover innovations multi was again promised a much better readability, the presence of an official league Cyanide with a regular season followed by a tournament and, of course, all the tools necessary for creating and customizing private leagues. Cyanide Studio also prepares us a whole bunch of tools viewings, to review games, to invite the spectator parts of our friends or even clashes follow of the most famous without having to move the game What to facilitate the creation of community content for the biggest fans of the franchise. coaches Finally, it is difficult to talk about an adaptation of Blood Bowl signed Cyanide Studio without question the actual playable teams output. It has already been promised eight playable outset races: Humans, Orcs, High Elves, Dark Elves, Dwarfs, Skaven, Chaos but also all new Bretonnian. Here's a revelation that should not be missed to intrigue fans of the franchise, especially when you know that Games Workshop absolutely valid all content produced by Cyanide Studio . These eight races starting comprise the heart of the game after its release but already know that other teams join the fray eventually. Remains to be seen whether Cyanide Studio will use the same method as in the past to integrate, ie out a multitude of extensions stand-alone , or whether the developer intends to adopt a policy of DLC . Anyway, we can not wait to get their hands on this very promising Blood Bowl II expected this year, no more details for now.

I'm suspicious about high elves being on the list. I suspect they mean wood elves.

I'd be completely happy to pay per race on a dlc basis.

Just so long as they are all there.

The new multiplayer type games could be interesting, sounds like they might even be heading back to second edition campaigns (sponsors/salaries etc). 8 teams is very disappointing, but UI over haul is much needed. Guess we'll have to see.

Dungeon Bowl should have been the herald of the coming train wreck to you.

I won’t say that we are the EVE Online of sport management because that would be a bit too much, but basically that’s the idea behind it.

Do we have a list of which teams are in?

Also - odd choice to take HE and DE, but not woodies.

A few days turns out to mean about three months. Howevre Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/videos/warhammer-sports-return-with-blood-bowl-2/2300-6423725/) has a video and some very loose details. Release date is June 2015 apparently. No-one else seems to be reporting this however.

I can't imagine a situation in which a PC game like this doesn't have kb+m support.  I think that possibility is pretty far fetched.

Yeah I have no idea what that means.

The Marketplace? A place to buy/sell/trade players/teams.

Chaos gameplay. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=131ti-NpUS0) Pretty sweet looking.

Some undoctored gameplay from E3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ-ykYbXelw

New "Overview Trailer" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URMfC-scXF0). Preorders are now open. Game should be about 40 Credits and preordering will give you an additional team and beta access.

I am sure bird's eye camera is in. What sucks is the 45 € price point. What the hell.

Hello Blood Bowl coaches!

We’re excited to announce that the Blood Bowl 2 multiplayer beta is now live. That means you’re able to jump in and play the game right away and start earning XP for your coaches, and developing your teams. Yup, that means that your saves, teams, and coaches will not be deleted upon launch.

The following content will be available during the multiplayer beta – and remember, it’s exactly that: a beta. We’d love to hear your feedback, technical issues, bug reporting and anything else you’d like to share with us. The right places to do that would be the Steam Hub and the game’s official forum.

Content in the multiplayer beta:

• Four races: Orc, Humans, Dwarfs, and Skaven
• Friendly games, local, online – against AI or players
• Multiplayer leagues
• Management: team and league creation, levelling up, earning XP etc…
• Cabal TV (that’s the game’s replay mode to help you reflect on, and analyze, your game and games from other players).

Remember, this is a real beta so we really value your feedback. Play as much multiplayer as you can and create a league with your friend! There’s no NDA, so feel free to stream and discuss your impressions about the game online and with Focus and Cyanide who’ll be eagerly scanning over your feedback. There is a list of known issues that we’re working on before launch, and these are below:

• Some players might experience performance quirks depending on their hardware – still working on optimization
• In very rare cases, certain skills used in conjunction with others may cause issues – these are known, and will be fixed for launch.
• Delay in action after Always Hungry fails by about 10 seconds.
• Minor UI tweaks are in the works.

You’re playing before launch – during crunch time – so there’s still work to be done. This is quite normal, so don’t feel as though this is indicative of the final quality of the game. If you encounter a problem, let us know, and we’ll get on it (it’s probably something we’re already working on).

For new players, a handy guide can be found here (this is not the final version): http://guide.bloodbowl-game.com/

The Bretonnians, for anyone interested.

http://guide.bloodbowl-game.com/en/races-bretonnians

They probably could have at least used a space between positions, or a draw a line, but I'm not seeing as much confusion as you are? Maybe a browser issue?

I doubt the Bretonnian linesmen come pre-equipped with Fend and Block, is probably what Iain is trying to say.

Wow. The Breton roster somehow failed to live up to my expectations even for a bullshit team made up by Cyanide.

There's zero reason to buy this until it a) has all the teams or b) they turn the servers off for Blood Bowl 1. And maybe not even then.

Sounds like those are mostly a result of the console focus. There's a limited number of buttons to press on a controller. Once they are all mapped, it's hard to shoe-horn in additional functionality like 'toggle grid' without hiding it in sub-sub-menus.

Played one friendly game.

Interface is...confusing, but I think I see it. Trying to do pass and blitzes dosn't seem obvious how to do it. The icon show up...sometimes.

Deploying players is very annoying, you need to let them move every single bloody square. Just GO there dammit.

Id'ing skills in tiny icons is next to impossible.

I miss my Amazons. I'll be sure tom paying 10 bucks for them :(. In 12 months :(

It's Blood Bowl. It's still good.  Whose setting up a league?

There are some nice things. Like the spectator tool. Apparently you can watch other people play. Live. Not only the people you know. You can even go into the "Cabal Vision" menu and watch a number of live games being featured. *

* apparently there is a search tool for live games. Apparently you can watch live any given match being played. Not so important in the Twitch era, but still cool.

Oh? Wow. I am so out of the loop then. I didn't know you could, otherwise I would have watched some of the hot matches or the finals of our League back in the days.

I bought Blood Bowl a few years ago, but at that time I didn't manage to squeeze enough time to learn it (tried the boardgame version when I was a kid).

I imagine that rules will stay exactly the same with Blood Bowl 2 (in other words, it's still Blood Bowl), no matter the differences with the interface, graphic upgrades and whatever else. In other words, I can start "training" with the first game and eventually decide to upgrade to "2" later on, without missing anything, right?

I think it's only with BB:CE though. Spectating (in BB1 at least, I haven't seen how BB2 does it) is a nice idea that Cyanide fucked up in implementation. If you choose to spectate a match, you basically get the replay file for that game and you watch it from the beginning, even if you join near the end, and there's no way to fast forward or skip ahead to where players actually are at the moment.

As far as I know a lot of stuff like the Pass Block thing is just a bug or a sign of how not-ready-for-launch this is.

There's also no 'ask' option for skills any more. So now your Wrestle guy wrestles every time, likewise other situational skills like Shadowing, Stand Firm, Fend, Stab, Multiple Block and Piling On will always fire now.

Exactly. The kind of stuff that cannot be intentional and will certainly be fixed, but in the meantime makes this client a joke.

BETA STATUS UPDATE
Hey Coaches!

It's been one week since we launched the beta and we are really happy with all the feedback we continue to receive from such an active community!

Our top priority is to deal with the remaining technical issues that are preventing a few players from accessing to the beta.

We're thrilled to see so many people participating in the beta to help us polish Blood Bowl 2 before its official release, and we're pleased to say we're working on what looks to be urgent in terms of the number of people reporting the feedback:

- Move the “End turn” button position to avoid misclicks
- Fix a bug preventing you from seeing the league/tournament settings
- “Pass Block” is being worked on at the moment.

That’s only a first step and we’ll keep working on your feedback in the next weeks.

Thanks again for your dedication to help us make a great game!

Have fun,
Cyanide Studios & Focus Home Interactive

See it's only $33 at GreenManGaming as the VIP sale right now....tempted.

plus a less than optimal board to play on (no grid, no tackle zones, no nameplates. Hell it even gets hard to tell your team from the opposition at times).

That makes skills like piling on a liability rather than a nice option for some situations.  :uhrr:

That's why we're organizing a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) Wednesday October 7th from 4:00PM to 6:00PM CEST with the development team where we'll answer all your questions on Blood Bowl 2!

33% off for no reason. I guess the NAF official League queue times are getting longer.

Some time after BB1 was released I took up the role as moderator here in order to help people enjoy the great game of Blood Bowl using Cyanide's BB client. This concept was epitomised on the release of LE when the ability to create player-run open leagues led to me being asked by several members of the community to start an alternative to Naggaroth/Auld, which is what spawned FOL. At the time Cyanide were extremely helpful, providing data to help me police it and, along with some great help from people like Verbal_HM, create an open league environment where people had good odds of getting a full game played.

With that came greater communication with both Cyanide and Focus, and the opportunity to take part in several of their other related projects such as Star Coach and Dungeonbowl. It was taking part in the latter, and a look through the database, which led to discovery of the Khorne roster, a quick look at which showed how much assistance Cyanide needed to create something which wasn't going to break the game. I was asked to help and brought in a few people, including people of ex-BBRC fame, to create the roster seen in BBCE now. The process was rather fraught, and involved a lot of restrictions and what I considered to be a "backwards" method of creating a team. A Khorne team was eventually released with CE, and, like it or loathe it, it performs as the design intended. A frank discussion was had with Cyanide about the process and little more was said until they approached me for help with BB2 in 2013.

The development and discussion cycle for BB2 was different. No longer were Cyanide interested in anything I or any of the other very experienced coaches and league managers had to say about the game, despite some apparent initial interest. When several of us expressed scepticism at some of their design decisions it seems we, as a group, were cut off almost entirely: they merely used us to test for bugs. Even that was nigh-on impossible given the extraordinary lack of communication, the failure to inform us of what the game rules should be (we had no idea whether the human catcher change was a bug or not), the almost unusable dice log, and the near total lack of any organised testing at all - I think we had a Focus "run" tournament towards the end of the test period, but otherwise it was more a case of "here's the game, see what you can do". There was no directed testing of specifics such as league management, skill interaction or individual skill mechanics. That kind of approach can work in a very large open beta where someone, somewhere will try just about anything, but with only about 20 people at most, no in-game communication, and no direction as to what to test the closed beta was seen by me and many others as a total and utter waste of everyone's time: we weren't listened to even when we did report what we saw as bugs, we were merely a drain on resource rather than any sort of enabler.

So now we are at BB2 release, and some weeks afterwards we finally have confirmation that all those things we thought were bugs are actually intentional. The game is fundamentally changed in many ways, particularly with the broken bank system and the changes to skills being mandatory. Add to that the lack of any sort of progress from BB1 in terms of matchmaking (and VoodooMike did all the groundwork they need to create a better system than what they had), nonsense justifications of the changes they have made, a total lack of any commitment to future team creation, and no improvement in their communication other than a whitewash AMA where little of any substance was actually answered and I find that I can't in good conscience continue as moderator here with the same intent with which I started.

Blood Bowl is a great game, but Cyanide's Blood Bowl 2 is a debasement of it. The graphics are nice, the aesthetic is great, but Cyanide have taken too many steps backwards in terms of mechanics even from BB1 for me to be able to do what I tried to do with that game in good conscience: I can't try to help people enjoy BB2 more because I don't believe it is a game worth helping people with and, while I accept that different people want different things from their gaming, I think anyone who would willingly choose BB2 over BB1 (for all its failings, and there are many) is choosing style over substance. BB2 is not, in my opinion, worth playing, and therefore the forums are not worth my time to moderate (although I will most certainly come here to bitch about the game plenty!). I therefore resign as a moderator here.

HAHAHAAH oh boys, I just hit "Delete League" by mistake a few minutes ago as I was trying to delete a mock Competition inside the League I made up for testing purposes, and WITH NO CONFIRMATION BOX I just erased the entire League I am running with friends. The last 2 months of games is gone.

Good job Cyanide! So hard to put in a confirmation box, right? Unbelievable. I don't know who I want to kick harder, myself or them stupid idiots.

Now at 40% for the Steam Fall sale. Including 40% the Wood Elves and Lizardmen.

I'm with Hoax though. Needs to be cheaper for the current level of quality/expectation.

Give it some time. There will probably be another upsurge in BB mania on F13 around the first competent re-release, so there will probably be another league being run.

Many of you wished for an option to display more info on the pitch during a match, such as a grid, player levels, skills and names. We thought that was a great idea.

Have they changed the league seeding UI or is it still the ridiculous piece of shit from BB1?

How is it even possible that they would think that's acceptable?

Official World Cup Ladder

The World Cup Ladder can be found in the "Official World Cup Ladder" league in game.

The league is divided into three seasons of one month each.

- The first season starts 11 February 2016 and finishes 11 March 2016.
- The second season starts 11 March 2016 and finishes 11 April 2016.
- The third season starts 11 April 2016 and finishes 11 May 2016.

At the end of each season, the best five coaches on the leaderboard will qualify for the World Cup Play Off.
A coach can have as many teams as he wants in the ladder, but each team must play at least five matches and a maximum of 20 matches.

Community Qualifier Leagues

We organised the World Cup with the biggest and most active Blood Bowl community leagues. A Blood Bowl World Cup would be meaningless without its awesome community and that's why you'll be able to qualify for the playoff in the numerous community leagues!

You need to fill the registration form before applying for a Community Qualifier.

Each league has its own rules and organises its own qualifier tournament.

Registrations are open until 9 February 2016.

The number of tickets for the Play-off awarded to each league will be unveiled 11 February 2016.

The Community Qualifier Leagues start 11 February 2016 and finishes on 11 May 2016.

With your go ahead on this thing, I'd be interested also.  Unfortunately, I'm about to take off from Russia in a month, and then I'll be bouncing around the globe till July (and then I don't know how long it will be till I get a steady connection in Laos).  Soooo, yeah, sorry.  I probably wont be available till the second half of this year for a different season.

Optional skills
It’s been discussed a lot with the community – more skills will be optional (Pass, Dodge, Tackle, Fend, Tentacles, Break Tackle)

you can do mixed teams like Amazons+Human+Bret+Norse.
