We all appreciate the wonderful work that has been gifted to us but i thought that it would be cool if the teams swapped sides after the first half!

I dunno if this has been asked before but it would be a nice feature and maybe something to consider once all the rules and stuff have been sorted out!!

If it would severely interfere with the way the client works there would be no point in having it at all! Smile

mmmm...nah

unless they get bored one day and introduced some of the house rules to the client... like pitches built on a slope (if you're going uphill you get -MA and downhill you get +MA but fail GFI on a 1 or 2) with a swap at half time

I wouldn't like it.. I think it's fine that you are always playing from left to right! But maybe that's just because I'm one of those people who could end up walking the wrong way if it changed..

I don't necessarily like the idea, but, I could go for buying unique stadiums though (or even generic). Each with their own advantages and disadvantages Smile

No need to switch sides though. Smile

Thx

Is this a American Handball vs European Football Problem?

In football teams swap sides at halftime, and I would like to see that in Blood Bowl as well.

The contradiction bewteen these two posts only justifies that this must have been a stupid idea.

As anyone knows most Field sports switch at the half to balance wind or shadow advantage, so it's not an American issue. Especially since if you had been paying attention, you'd notice that most of confusion posters are from Europe.

The confusion would simply come from what we are used to. Tabletop BB doesn't mandate a side switch, and after a few hundred JBB games, nost of us are used to going one way. Trust me, I have played a few games standalone, and it IS confusing. Playing the Blue guys and going the wrong way messes me all up.

In a far off fantasy world, where all the standard features were coded, all the bugs were fixed, and nothing was left to be done, I'd still consider this a waste of time personally.

Don't you guys turn your monitor upside down at half time then? I thought everyone did that... Wink

may i point out that your team always appears on the left side anyway

changing ends in real sports is only due to things like wind advantage and sun shining in one teams eyes, that way both get the good and bad ends of it

in blood bowl you don't have these things and its not needed, personally if it was implemented i would turn it off anyway

Actually, what would be REALLY useful would be if we could get the little men to still stand the right way up after the monitor's turned at half time. THAT get's me all confused... Razz

The teams already change sides at half time. It's just that the coach goes around the other side of the field too, so that their side is on the left again. What you should be asking for is immovable coaches.
