When Blood Bowl 2 first came out, I got the impression that it was a bit of a mess. That it made improvements in some areas, but at the cost of several key features/functions/teams from the first game.

Has this been smoothed out at all in the months since its release? Or is it still something to avoid until they come out with whatever "special edition" with the rest of the teams/modes?

I ask because I've been holding off on picking it up, but it's on sale on Steam for 50% off ($22.49, currently).

The fact that there are currently 2 topics on this forum doesn't fill me with much hope, frankly.

There have been a few quality of life changes since then: you can turn the grid on and off, see player skills above their heads, and set up is faster now that they teleport, certain skills have been implemented better, dice logs are more extensive, etc. As for teams there are 4 coming out (Norse, Nurgle, Undead, Necromantic) over the coming months that are free if you own Blood Bowl 2 at the time of their release. I don't know if it's worth your $22.49, but while the improvements have been somewhat slow there have been quite a few to smooth some of the rougher edges.

Blood Bowl 2 has improved a lot since release but in my opinion Chaos Edition is still a much better choice

Chaos Edition is cheaper, has more teams and has a really good career mode.

Blood Bowl 2 has better graphics and way better multiplayer.

they are both incredibly buggy

@infamousonager: @xceagle: Alright, I think I'll hold off for now then. Thanks for the input!

Still not as good as Fumbbl!

So, it's been nearly 3 years since the last time this game was talked about and I have to ask: is it any good? It sounds intriguing as hell to me, but most of the offhanded stuff I see is not good and gets mired in some "I LOVE THE GAME HOW DARE YOU" bullshit so I can't tell if it's worth it or not.
