The whole passing thing is bs. It’s a big nerf to almost all agility teams.

Whilst it is, I admit, a decent summary, the fact is, I woke up grumpy, so I'm going to mock the cunt who wrote it with this: "The Second Season rules introduce the Current Team Value characteristic, which is your team’s Team Value minus any players who are missing time due to injury."
Oooh! This is new. "Kick Team-Mate also got a major change"
I'm glad they changed it, the current rules reeeeeeally annoy me. "There are a ton of little changes as well, quality of life and balance stuff like Frenzy not being able to be combined with Grab"
Thank God for that! Yes, I know, I'm a horrible, intolerant bag of shit. My wife reminds me of this at least thrice a day. You weren't wrong when you said you were possessed by ****!

Screens are basically a thing of the past and if drop a player in the right place anyone can now jump into a cage! Also fouling got massively buffed and have you seen Sneaky Git? My fucking god, it's a thing of beauty. And of course Elves will be jumping about all over the fucking shop and stamping on peoples heads with Sneaky Git. Which reminds me, I was already thinking of a fouling Elf team and now it's majorly possible.

All the ag4 elves and shit got worse at throwing except for the dedicated throwers. Gutter runners got shitter at throwing, but skaven do get a good thrower. The way I see it is that if you didn’t throw in the first place then nothing has changed. What’s more important is that fouling got buffed like Alan’s head!

Which reminds me, I was already thinking of a fouling Elf team and now it's majorly possible. I’m not sure the new jump role is going make everyone into cage breaking leapers. Old leap probably wasn’t designed as a cage breaking tool, more a flashy touchdown enabler, or tool for getting better position. Using it for cage breaking was really an exploit to avoid a having to make a dodge roll into three tackle zones (straight Ag roll instead of Ag-2). New leap roll removes this exploit and makes the leap into a cage now an AG-2 roll for a leaping player. A jumping player is making an AG-3 roll. Having played woodies a bit, I’m certainly only ever going to consider leaping into a cage with a war dancer (now 4+ roll rather than 3+) but I’m going to have to be really desperate to try jumping in with a line elf (now a 5+ roll) to make a 1D block. The new pass rules mean there is now a role for elven throwers, they always used to be an optional extra for any new teams I rolled. It’ll certainly change how I staff starter teams now.

Throwers are both useful and valuable now. Good.
Rats cannot hand off and pass across the field with impunity. Good.
Fouling will go crazy. Good.
There's that odd pass and move skill thing. Good.
Seems okay to me. Some of the stats were always fucking daft anyway.
I think Mv 10 players no longer exist either?
And a squirrel, a halfling on a goat and a zoat?
Assuming the dead don't rise, and whoever is ready to profit from their own V for Vendetta situation cracks the 'demic (spot that bot bastards), and assuming there is a meetup in Wiganor wherever, then I will look forward to attending like a bloated four eyed burned out failure, with some BB teams.

Is the next cyanide game going to pick up the new rules, or are IRL friends required for this nonsense?

I'll probably have to ditch the other leagues I'm in. They already whine like babies about fouling.
