I paid nothing for my beta code and still it feels like I’m entitled to a refund…

Yeah, they have lots of work to do. Hoping the early access release will see some significant improvements

I played a few turns and I'm not impressed. Graphics didn't look any better (to me) than what I've seen on bb2, the UI is still clunky (so easy to misclick), and no tooltip over the skills (meaning if you don't know what the icon means then you don't know).
Plus first thing I noticed was the reroll being limited to one a turn (at least that's what the tool tip said, I didn't get to test that before quitting and uninstalling).

I know it's a beta and everything can change, but I doubt I'll be paying to play bb3. Not when I already have TTS with all the teams and the only advantage bb3 would have is an inbuilt league/tourney manager. And I've no idea if that's even true or how good it will be (is there one in bb2?)

And the only way to tell cyanide this is via their discord. Which has 1000's of people all talking at once. No thanks.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

BB2 has a pretty good league manager, I’ve managed to figure it out for SAWBBL, and I’m not remotely gaming-literate.

I don’t imagine there’s much that could be added to the discord feedback that hasn’t been said many many times already. Seems a bit of an own goal to fire it out to loads of big audience streamers who spent ½ an hour saying “look at this dumpster fire” before switching back to Blood Bowl 2 mid-stream.
