Even though I sometimes want that 0/6 linemen to get MVP so that I can try for a completion in the next game, it's always been a bit strange to me that someone that never saw the field could get MVP. Guess they just cheered really hard.
Anyway, my Norse will be picking the Yhetee and the Ulfwerners as MVPs every game if I get to pick 3, most likely.
Boring!
One of my opponents was running a Norse team, and induced Boomer Eziasson one game. He sat around in the back field scratching his arse for the first four turns of the first drive, then the
one time he actually threw a bomb, it was caught by my superstar Orc Thrower, who lobbed it straight back to him, and knocked him over. We then went on to score, and with no bribe to spare, off goes Boomer for the rest of the game. Guess who landed the MVP on the Norse team that game? Go on...
I have to agree that you need this aspect in the game of Blood Bowl, Nuffle needs to have his fickle ways.
My way to implement this in our next league:
You can pick 4 players yourself which can get the MVP and your opponent chooses 1. Roll d6 on a 1 it's your opponents pick on 2-5 it's random one of the four you nominated and on a 6 the crowd follows your choice in appointing the MVP.
Blood Bowl needs that bitter-sweet touch of sarcasm and epic moments.
I you roll a dice there should be something to win AND lose, that way if you win, you will be glad and thankful to Nuffle.
Nuffle will not be pleased with these changes.
