Can't beat anybody. Driving me insane. Game's not fun when the result is predetermined.

You beat my human team, back in the day.

Keep playing. You'll get there eventually. I know sometimes it seems like the odds are against you, but they'll swing back eventually. Every game is a clean sheet. And by that time, you'll probably be better at the game, and more able to take advantage of the luck you do have.

to be honest... you need to read up on your tactics. a few hours on bbtactics.com and spectating a few solid coaches will help a ton.

also, pick a playstyle you want to try and focus on it. so only use the few races that work for that (ie: all elfs or cdork,nurgle,dwarf for bashers)

We have an academy BB League too in IRC you can join though its not too populated. There is also the 145 club = http://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&group=2922 where coaches can learn from playing others with more experience(and stunty teams!)

just keep on trying. youll get it. this site is a few levels above your average cyanide game and coming from tabletop can be dangerous too if you only know one way to play which happens to work poorly here. biggest tip I have is this: make as few dice rolls as possible and when you do, try to roll as many dice at once as you can.

Gluck

Blog is true when you lose faith in the client it's not fun I'm leaving all my leagues and fumbbl as the fun has just gone completely on this version of the game.

pfft Dan, pfft.

2 quick suggestions firstly play more stunty games as this is a really fun game win or lose for me its all about the carnage!Secondly join some leagues as they really give you a chance to play with different coaches and the challenge is different to that of the box.I lose a lot of ranked games so I make sure I mix it up with other divisions that way it's less depressing.

I've been playing 10 years and 3 weeks ago my CR was ~158 (taking into account my long runs with Ogres and vampires :-p)- I have no interest in academy or 145... In fact, playing against coaches who I expect to beat could only possibly serve to make me feel worse.

My tactics aren't perfect, but 40 hours of frustration certainly hasn't helped. Going back and watching (and those of you inclined to give advice are welcome to go back and watch 25 of my last 30 too) it really seems like an awful lot of my games are being decided by incredibly lopsided dice.

I know, I know, it always feels that way, but like I said, I've been playing since 2001 and never felt anything like this.

After 2 games against you and another one with 4 guys out with 5 blocks, i feel like i wasted my time with this stupid game.

Happens... once you accept that there is such a phenom in life as luck, then also accept that you're not able to change it. Some people will be unlucky for life. Acceptance is the first step

Now you are 3/2/0. Panic over?

Ive watched a covple of yovr games. I do think there are some improvements yov covld make to the way yov play. Principally - protect yovrself against failvres more. Always cover the ball before trying to pick it vp, for example. Also, 1db shovld only ever be a last resvlt.

I wovld strongly advise that yov spectate a few games and see how the best coaches bvild a drive, protecting the ball every time.
