1995 Blood Bowl PC game and passing
Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2022 3:23 am
Hi,
I recently managed to get this game running on DosBox and soon noticed that the gameplay is very pass oriented. In fact, it seems exclusively pass oriented. All teams (wish there were more, and why in the world is Morg not in the free agent pool?) including dwarves, work to set up the pass and to prevent you from the same. Now these here days, passing is too high risk to utilize as a primary play style. So for the veterans out there that have been playing since the early 90s... in the formative years of the game, was passing more dominant before it was discovered that passing first is sub optimal? Or, has Blood Bowl always been played as a run first game and the people who programmed the PC game simply not know how Blood Bowl was played by most table top coaches?
Thanks,
Mike
