I've got Bloodbowl Chaos Edition...

Should I buy this ? What are differences ? What's better ? What's worse ?

Chaos Edition was deluxe Blood Bowl 1. It's not bad. A little dated, but still playable.

Hi Wrayden,

Is Bloodbowl 2 better ? Worse ? Why ?

Thanks.

I'm going to take this topic to ask a few questions as well. I've played the first one, and I was really frustrated by the I.A. Is it similar to the first one? Based on the A.I. only (I have no intention on playing it online. I'm not into multiplayer games) would you recommend this game?

[Mr Blue Playdoh]

All the same to be fair, probably less players now as they are all playing this version.

But Blood Bowl 3 will be coming out soon with the new 2020 rules so wait out for that.

IMHO the AI isn't too bad. I rarely note any really strange moves. Once the elf team had the ball and for some reason wouldn't make the touchdown one square away on the next turn, but that was years ago. For the most part, the AI allows for immersive gameplay.

BB! has more stadiums, but the interface in BB2 is cleaner and less cartoony. I only play BB! for old times sake. My friend and I play BB2. If you catch them on sale, it's worth to test them out.

BB chaos edition did have quite a few things going for it.

1 you can play as a LAN and can actually like make every race in BB if you wanted too because in bb chaos edition you can easily manipulate the files and download your roster into the game we use to do this in OFL before we quit and changed to bb2. for a NFL style comp,

2. apart from the bugs like 12th man etc the game is actually pretty good, but to be honest bb2 is more a complete game, tho we cannot put any race into bb2 like we could in bb1 chaos edition graphics wise bb2 is far better.

3. I did like the way bb1 worked and that a LAN made u run any comp you wanted,
so for me BB1 was a better format with better admin tools for leagues.

as for bb2 i have found a way to kinda manipulate the files a bit to get the league we wanted but its far from what you can do in bb1 chaos edition

so if you like bb1 chaos edition for leagues its the best game for format and customization of your league for multi-player.

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate you taking the time out to answer my questions.

1) Can you play any race in single player or are you limited to humans ?
2) What's the single player experience like ?

I was having a good time yomping through the tournaments in Blood Bowl Chaos with my Orc team until my wages got to high for my tournament winnings to cover my salaries and I ran into an undead team with unbeatable buffs.

You can play any races you bought (and I mean solo career, not the solo campaign).

However, frankly speaking, you don't play BB for its singleplay, it's really dull and boring.
You learn much more from multiplayer, and even if there are chances you'll face a douche, you may also face a nice player.

Do remember that no players last forever, so don't get attached to your players, but to your team (which could be a reason why people are "shy" / "frustrated" to play in MP)

You can do the exact same thing in Eternal League.
