I have seen the DS version and it is TERRIBLE

Sounds like a sensible option to me, otherwise you could just save your turn after/before every action, and just reply until you got a favourable result.

fair enough, didn't think of that

oh btw, where do you see during skill-up that a stat raise is an option?

I got a stat raise once on it for my tree man in the wood elf team as I was going through the skills page and depending on if you can get it or not, you'll see another page to raise your stats.

ah crap, might have missed some already but thanks anyway, will pay attention to it next time.

I want a ST4 GR like I had/have on FUMBBL

That's one more thing I really miss in the game: you don't see the dice rolls and modifiers. The upper-screen should have been used for that.

I agree as it seems like a waste of an upper screen just to have a large score board there.

Has the DS version come out yet? I pre-ordered it and well now its been taken off the website and the guy at EB said he didnt know and wont find out when its getting released, i can say EB games has lost my business in the future.

Yes it's out but I also had to make quite some effort to get it. I had to call the store twice after it was supposed to be in store. Apparently something went wrong at the distributor. Just call them I'd say.

Btw. My game crashed twice during half time or the set-up after scoring. It shows no players on the setup screen and nothing works anymore. Anyone else have this problem? After reloading for a third time (and getting another CAS yay) it worked fine. So now i tend to save before the last turn in a match to make sure I don't have to replay the entire half again.

I´ve had the same problem,but since i was playing with a ROM,i thought that it would have something to do with that...
What i do is,save right before i score...if it crashes then,you dont have to play the entire half again.

To finish,i would like to say that,i do not think that the DS version stinks that much...i think that the core of the board game is all there,and the minor bugs are tolerable...about the graphics...well,its a DS...and even if i think they could do it a little better...its OK.

Actually being forced to use the stylus is a very bad choice, FFtactics, Valkyrie profile (and other tactial rpgs) also show the same view and you can choose to play with stylus or with the pad, this is lot more comfortable and the pad is more precise.
The only use of this game would be to play with your roommate in a train or a plane... every other use is beaten by something else:
-training against the IA -> use the PC version (not better, but prettier)
-playing against a real person -> use minis and a real board
-playing online -> impossible

mmm yes precision is quite bad during set-up

I do enjoy the game btw! Don't care about gfx too much anyway, it's a handheld and it's blood bowl.

GTA: Chinawars was pretty enough though!

They must have changed that, because when I saw the DS version at the Press day in Nottingham, I played without a stylus.

I personally like the stylus,but yes i do think that they should give us other control option...even i cant think of any,because you need the pad to scroll the pitch...anyway,that would be their problem

But again,the DS version stands only for what it is...a portable version that gives you the opportunity to play (basic) BloodBowl anywhere...in a plane,work...or even in the bathroom...well,now that i think of it,i once carried my portable PC to the bathroom...but then,by the half of the second game,my legs started to hurt...but i think you get my point...

In Valkyrie profile, you can zoom in out, turn the board, choose your caracters, move them make several actions all without the stylus and you can see exactelly what you are doing without any chance of a missclick.
On the DS version, i had a hard time to pick a gob hidden behind a Rat ogre.

I loaded a game yesterday and it just ended turns until the game was over.
"end of turn" "end of turn" "end of turn" etc...

luckily I was winning 2-0

and this morning I had a legendary pitch invasion. I had 3 Gutter Runners and one Stormvermin still standing...
The ENTIRE opposite orc team was prone! weird...
