Legendary Patchnote

Hey Coaches,

Blood Bowl 2: Legendary Edition is now available on Steam.

The Legendary Edition is a bundle of 3 elements:

BB2 base Game (8 races)
Team Pack (8 races)
Official Expansion (8 races)

If you already own the base game, and/or Team Pack, you only have to buy the Official Expansion to get 8 new races and many new features. But even if you don't get the Official Expansion, all Blood Bowl 2 players will still get big update containing many new features.

Please find below the distribution of the "Legendary" features between the free update and the Official expansion.

Fixed: SideStep is not usable if the player is under BoneHead/VeryStupid or Hypnotic Gaze.
Fixed: A non-blitz block action with a Juggernaut player cancels the opponent Wrestle.
Fixed: Problem with Stunty and Mighty Blow (if you roll a 8+MB : standard Casualty roll, if you roll a 9+MB : always Badly Hurt -> it should be the contrary)

With money on the line, we want to make sure the game is free from any technical issues. We'll launch the Champion Ladder as soon as possible.

Stats of players still differ from the overview page and the player page. Most players have different stats so you need to click each player and see what the real stats are.

I mentioned this already in Beta. it's still not fixed.

Overall, really happy with the update :-) thanks Devs. It has some teething problems for sure, but eh.

The Ai thing I can see being a problem for some but for the purposes of the majority, it does enough.

Netheos,

Can you explain what AI enhancements have been done? I'm playing and the AI still cages when behind by 1 in the final turns.

I'm curious as to what I should be looking for...

Thanks.

I've found that the text when creating a new team has become unreadable. It's kind of merged together. Is this a Mac thing?

Love the idea of mixed teams BTW.

Just hit a nasty bug at the end of a match. On turn 16, the game just froze. The app is still running; there is music and I can move the camera but nothing else is happening. I was winning and leveled up some of my guys, so I'm thrilled to lose all of my progress.

It froze when my opponent was trying to figure out which square to push my character into and says so on screen. I also can no longer exit out of the game without forcing a shutdown. Conceding was the only way to exit out of the game.

It's a display issue, no impact on gameplay. Many reports from the beta couldn't make it into the day1 patch, but they will arrive for sure in the next update.

Hi, the AI now take into account the turn they're playing. Meaning they shouldn't try a long term move turn 8 or 16.

It's a known issue.

4 High Elf logos are missing: teams using these logos have invisible players (expect the head).

Sorry you encountered this issue. It's a known issue on Mac. We're currently working on it and will release a fix as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear that! Thanks for the extensive report, I'll send it to our QA team.

Very nice update ! Will there be more choices of cheerleaders in the future ? One type/team could add a lot of flavour without too much modeling/animation.
Also, game froze (not a crash, just no animations were playing anymore on the field - had to concede) when changing language setting mid game.
