It’s easy to eyeball the situation and quickly ascertain that multiple obstacles exist, so you can rapidly move on and assign the -1 to the roll.

The math required was never onerous, and it wasn’t really a problem with the system, but the new approach is simpler which leads to an increase in pace of play.

This ceiling is carried through to other mechanisms like tackling as well, although its impact is mostly felt around that throw action.īesides the obvious benefit of improving the long game, this is a clever adjustment in that it streamlines the experience tremendously. Now, instead of totaling several adjustments based on ball pressure from the defense and intervening obstacles, you still make those calculations but the total bonus or penalty to the throw is capped at +/-1. The change is the narrowing of modifiers. Nevertheless, passing is better positioned as a more frequent and viable option as it appears here. This was a slight rough spot in the past, although one which never stymied my overall appreciation of the design. The most major enhancement is both the streamlining and boosting of throwing. It’s mostly the same ruleset as previous titles, with a couple of noteworthy adjustments. Are you seriously going to tell me that this is more complicated than learning a wholly different game that forces you to learn another completely different game once you want to move up? Really?Īnd even if your statement were true, "more forgiving" just makes the transition later even harder, because bad habits are hard to unlearn.īB7s even take star players and rerolls out of the equation, streamlining the game to it's very core.The Ultimate Edition is certainly an improvement. Just state these instead of the proper BB rules and later on give the new stats when they move on, but the game is still the same, just bigger and more tactical upfront. You can literally summarize the differences in 5 short points.Īnd two of those are completely irrelevant to beginners even. Have you even bothered to read the BB7s rules? It's two pages, that includes an intro text and the second page is a kick-off table. What? You learn two sets of rules if you start with BlitzBowl.
