Game filled with bugs at launch, results of matches are sometimes lost or you can be randomly disconnected from the online service causing the game to automatically end losing possibly hours of progress. The AI is slow and sometimes refuses to make a decision which forces you to quit the game and take the automatic loss as for whatever reason the timer does not tick down when deciding if to reroll the dice.

The AI itself is somehow far worse than Blood bowl 1 and 2, it takes stupid risks like trying to dodge out of tacklezones with a treeman on a 5+ or deciding their first move will try blocking a big guy with 2 dice of the defenders choice, while continuing to do the one tactic they are capable of doing which is boxing in the ball, the Skaven are only somewhat competent due to how fast gutter runners can run but I have yet to see the AI try to pass the ball. Although the AI hardly matters anyway since there are only 6 campaigns consisting of 3 matches each, 1 one of which is the tutorial. You will fight the same teams each time you play destroying replayability. Furthermore, you have no way to create your own tournament's or competitions in singleplayer, which was a basic feature of the past 2 games.

The animations are very limited, and the models seemingly do not update to show mutations which again was a feature of Blood bowl 1 and 2, although it is possible that it is just another bug. Currently you start out with no way to customise your guys without spending warpstone which you have to buy with real money. So all your dudes will look exactly the same unless your wiling to cash out, really takes the uniqueness out of players.

The gameplay itself is good, it's just a more refined version of the previous games and it does feel really good to play, however, all these bugs and missing basic features is unacceptable. This game was delayed by 2 years and still released in a buggy broken mess. While I am sure these issues will be fixed eventually, I would hold off on getting the game for now, if you really want to play Blood bowl play the other games and wait for Blood bowl 3 to go on sale. It's really not worth playing right now, having lost 3 matches due to bugs after getting 40 minutes in has sucked out my desire to play the game.

Took me about 150 hours to actually figure out how to be semi decent at it and I have still only complete one game of it.

The replay value is amazing, although trying to get into the game is really the hardest part.

A fun game to play for a while, however seems like limited replayability due to the game modes being fairly repetitive. The only real thing to keep coming back to is the faction war although currently vikings appear to be dominating everything.
