Look at the pitch and decide who to bring nearer the ball, and who to play zone defense with. Move EVERY player that doesn't require a dice roll to move. So, all that said, HOW do you play this game and have fun? (This is one reason that Bash never goes out of style, while ElfStyle coaches can go on horrendous fail streaks. Picking up the ball, dodging out, passing, catching, going-for-it, and so on are GOING to fail 1 in 6 times on average. The key to Blood Bowl, and this will seem incredibly counter-intuitive, is to roll as few skill dice as possible. I've been playing for damn near 20 years and I still lose or tie about 70% of my games. It gives you a chance to try different strategies and formations. I would suggest playing the AI for at least one season with whichever team you like. Out of curiosity, why'd you jump right in to multiplayer? There are guys out there that have been playing for years and they can give away players and play short handed and still beat the tar out of newbies. But a few games later, I dodged a dwarf long beard into two tackle zones, picked up the ball, dodged out, and completed a long pass to a troll-killer, who then two GFIed to the the touchdown. Although, at one point I rolled up four ones in a row followed by trip skulls later in the game. The odds are about dead on what you'd expect, except instead of a 17% for any given number, I'm rolling about 20% 2s, and 14% 3s on single d6 rolls (GFIs, ability checks, etc.) For the past two weeks, I've played about 20 games, and I'm in the process of rewatching them, or more exactly, watching the dice logs. I am a giant f-ing nerd when it comes to data. Is there some mechanic that makes new teams/players get absolutely destroyed for the first fifty or so hours before anything gets better? Is there a setting I can enable that says "Please don't shove the football up my anus?" Is it possible to get a refund after six hours? I tried fouling someone once, first foul ever, and got red carded. The dwarf game, I was fouled eight times, no red cards. Two times, with runners and skinks thanks to that one time I tried the lizardmen. I picked up the ball twice in the last six hours. Matchmaking was a joke, putting a fresh DE team against a team of orcs that didn't have a single level one orc anywhere, followed by facing a team of dwarves with a similar level spread. Yeah, I was right, but I was surprised to find that over the next six hours, every single game played like the first. Going for it? Try looking at the grass instead, it's just as fun! I got my face pounded into the dirt by the dice, not the elves. Eighty three percent chance to doge? Nope, tripped up. Now, I expected to lose the game, but every time I tried to pick up the ball, in clear weather no less, I fumbled it. I tried to play an ai, just to see if I could get the hang of it, played against the wood elves, lost 4-0. I made a recommended lineup on a Dark Elf team of four blitzers, two runners, and the rest linemen. I tried playing the game after buying it yesterday. I'll be keeping a closer eye on how I play, and trying some different races out. J.EDIT: After having time to cool off a bit, and reading responses, thanks for the advice.

However, other famous players remain retired, and may never make a return to the game of Blood Bowl. The Blood Bowl Competition Rules v6 pleased long time fans of the game by bringing back many beloved Star Players from earlier versions of the game. Over the years, several Star Players have come and gone as the game of Blood Bowl has evolved. Instead, Star Players may be hired at a large cost on a one turn basis. However, the Blood Bowl Competition Rules v6 do not permit teams to hire Star Players as part of their regular rosters. In previous editions of Blood Bowl, Star Players could be permanently hired as part of a team's roster. Star Players are particularly famous pro Blood Bowl players (also known as "Characters") who are available for hire as "free agents" by Blood Bowl teams.
