I've also noticed you can't see what individual players' values are. It's just added up. So you can't see where you have TV bloat.

Yeah I don't want real time, there just must be some way they could shave some more time off, I'm having a lot of fun games where its like "jesus christ its only turn 4"
I guess the game isn't really made for it but with the progression it seems geared towards short, snappy games at least in videogame form.

I have the opposite reaction.

"OH poo poo IT'S TURN 7 GET IN SCORING POSITION!"

So in a fit of rage, I rolled up a human team with the sole purpose of fouling and injuring high TV teams. No plan for winning, just fouling and injuring as much as possible.

All 6 linemen have dirty player.
4 blitzers have nothing.
The ogre's just there for MB.
I usually hire Morg'n'Thorg.

It was going well. Until a Rat team.

I had a wizard this time. He had 2 throwers, 2 linemen, a gutter, and a stormvermin within fireball radius.

I only BH one. Followup foul on gutter. Stunned. Sent off.

Next turn foul. Stunned. Sent off.

The rats proceed to wreck my poo poo, getting 2 KO's, and 5 injures including 2 MNG and 2 AV/AG stat injuries.

Nuffle was tired of my poo poo.

Many of the players I've been seeing on streams have been pretty egregiously bad, even by my dim standards, which makes the game tempting to pick up just to go on a murderspree, but aha I'm not giving a poo poo developer $40 for 8 teams.

I need to figure out a private stream so you can teach me the ways to, y'know, play competently.

On my Dorf team, I have a runner with +STR and block, and a runner with +AG.

And yes everyone else has guard.

Speaking of Dwarves, does anyone have some tips on how to deal with the Death Roller?

You sacrifice one lino to eat its punches.

What I've seen is the fun-havers will buy the free bribe upgrade to keep the roller for 2 drives. If you choose to recieve to start, they won't put it on the field. Take that time to punch the poo poo out of the other team and force KOs and injuries so that when you score on turn 8, the roller has to eat a one turn bribe. Then in the second half get the ball back as best you can, score quickly, and see that roller contribute nothing on the sideline.

I surf when I can, but I rarely foul. Only time I've gone out of my way to foul is when I made gimmick teams full of throw-away linemen and enough for 2 bribes.

I think it's a case of I'd rather have a dude on the pitch giving a punching assist than a fouling assist.

Yeah, rats and elfs get away with a lot of poo poo. Even thought they're designed to get away with poo poo, they get away with poo poo just enough to piss you off.

Brets and Khemri you almost always kinda wanna root for, even if you're playing against them.

The only true Goon league is the one you scam others into conceding against you in order to join.

I keep seeing that the AI is bad and teaches you bad habits but can I get some examples of those bad habits? Watching agent's new LP is making me want to play again and I already own the first BB. Does the new game improve the AI in any noticeable way?

There has been some AI improvement since BB:CE, such as caging and awareness of the sideline, and some semblance of "I should score". But the AI lacks ability and knowledge of the meta level of Blood Bowl.

For example, you'll never see the AI punt the ball downfield to buy time for faster nimble players to get around and secure the ball from what was otherwise a bad field position.

The AI will not target and mercilessly foul your +STR piece.

Trolls will often try to blitz up on their own without a teammate nearby.

In fact, there's a lot of order of operation stuff the AI seems to struggle with.

I think the most meta thing I've seen the AI do was create a Chorf team of Hobgoblins. I might be confusing that with BB:CE though.
