They sell you special editions with cosmetics, the cosmetics can only be applied to one character at a time, "...each part will feel impactful..." and, "...we never want you to be able to do so!" (on the cost of buying cosmetics for every slot for a whole team) - Gautier a dev on their discord.

Game is being sold as a way to play virtual Blood Bowl with the 2020 rule set, the game won't have the full rule set until November based on their roadmap. Currently available teams are missing skills and star players.

Currently you can slip, fall, and die walking into an endzone and you will still be counted as scoring, there are issues still in the game from the first beta nearly 2 years ago.

The UI looks and feels like they couldn't decide whether to make the PC version a console port or the console version a PC port. Stage effects also make it near impossible to see players, on top of some pitches and players already having poor readability.

TL;DR
- Core gameplay issues unfixed from a beta 2 years ago
- Monetization that would make a mobile game blush
- Not a complete experience for the 12 races/factions included (missing skills/players)
- Trying to see the whole gameboard and the players? Good luck telling the linemen from the blitzers from the puddle of mud and blood.

Hello nickbnimble,

Thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts about Blood Bowl 3. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our game.

We understand that some expected features are currently not present in the game and we would like to confirm that we are still working on implementing them in the future releases. We will also continuously add new content and events as we strive to make the game ever-evolving.

As for the monetization aspect, we realize that it is a divisive topic in our community. We would like to clarify that most content in the game will be possible to unlock for free and while there is a number of premium items, they are purely cosmetic and do not provide any gameplay advantage. A fair share of new free rewards will be introduced with Blood Pass once the Season 1 begins.

Also the cosmetics system has been changed so that items will have unlimited use among the entire team and only legendary items will be single-use. If you would like to learn more details about the changes, you can find more information in the full article:

We hope that we can make Blood Bowl 3 come up to your expectations and that you will have a great time on the pitch! If you would like to share any more thoughts or suggestions about the game, please feel free to reach out to us - we are always looking forward to feedback from our players.

Blood Bowl Support Team
