Man, I hope that they show some love for the Chaos Dwarfs (yes, it's Dwarfs, not Dwarves) in this game. Blood Bowl's probably the only Warhammer game that they're still 'official' in.

The game will kick ass, check out the trailer with some ingame footage!
Also this company -whos making this game- developed the Chaos League games.
Also according to the devs, after release they will keep updating the game, adding in new factions etc..+ ! modding support will be excellent also 8)

Example:

http://bloodbowldigital.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=19&Itemid=37

Will teams be editable? 
There is definitely a stat editor in the game. The only thing complicated for the community will be the modelling of new characters. Storm

We just know we want to provide addtional races + an option to create your own ones. The 3D modeling and texturing will be tricky and don't expect us to provide more than import / export functions to use with a software like 3DStudio Max or Maya.  Storm
 
 
Will it be possible to use the existing models as a different team? 
For example, use Chaos for Nurgle or Wood Elf for High Elf or Pro Elf?

Yes. Storm

It would appear that, even though the game ships with 8 races, you'll be able to dummy up the rest of the teams as long as the full compliment of skills is available.  So even though the team may not look like High Elves, it will still play like High Elves.  In this way, it might be possible to play all 21 official teams when the initial game ships, or any other team you can dream up, for that matter.
 
 
What kind of team customization will be possible? 
You will be able to change the color of your team.  Storm 

You will be able to change the look of your player's armor.  Khragg

The extent to which you can do either of the above has not yet been provided.
 
..and lot of new infos:
http://bloodbowldigital.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=15&Itemid=33

What game modes will be available, and on which platforms? 
Single player (vs. computer AI), hotseat (2 players from one system), and online multiplayer games will be available.

Turn-based:  A faithful translation of the table-top board game using the current Living Rulebook version 5, without Special Play Cards (which are optional in the rulebook anyway).  The following are all included in the initial release:

Bloodweiser Babes
Bribes
Extra Team Training
Halfling Master Chef

Mercenaries
Star Players - 29 will be included (there are 42 total at present but only 29 play for the 8 teams that are being included in the initial release).  There is only one star model for each race. So although the star looks different than the rest of the team, the stars of the same race have the same model.
Wandering Apothecaries
Journeymen
Real-time:  A live-action game in which you'll issue commands to different players on your team which causes the computer to carry out the action.

PC and Xbox360 will have both gameplay modes.  PSP and Nintendo DS will only offer the turn-based mode. Storm
 
 
Which races will be available? 
Chaos
Dwarves
Goblins
Humans
Lizardmen
Orcs
Skaven
Wood Elves
"6-8 others are due after release of the game." Storm 
 
Are any expansions planned? 
"There is no plan for an expansion pack per se at the moment but additional content will be provided (yes, it means more races). Don't ask me more since it's months away and lots of things need to be sorted out first." Storm
 
 
Will the game support hotseat mode (2 players playing from the same system)? 
In turn-based mode, most probably.  Storm & Storm
 
 
Will there be a spectator mode? 
No, at least not in the initial release.  Storm 
 
Will there be a replay system? 
Yes.  Storm 
 
Will kick-off events and weather be included? 
Yes.  Storm 
 
Will mutations be visible on the player models? 
Yes.  Storm 
 
Will the game track statistics? 
Yes.  Though exactly what will be tracked is yet to be determined.  Storm 

..and in this forum topic, the devs are already asking, that what faction would we like to see firstly being added after the official game will be released:

http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57074

So register and vote for Chaos Dwarfs! [Even tho I voted for Undead  ;D]

Fantastic!

I'm still playing Bloodbowl, or rather, the JavaBloodbowl version of it.

Good to see that they include turn-based mode, I wouldn't want to play it realtime anyway.

What platform?

I'll definitely buy it, just not sure if I'll get the German version or an import. PC or 360 is also a consideration, but I guess the PC will have a bit more modding capability.

Sign me up for an Xbox360 version - my laptop barely has the grunt to start up in the morning, let alone play something like this without starting small fires  ;)

We should totally play over some of the freeware Blood Bowl engines in the mean time. Anyone got some recommendations? Obviously a prerequisite is all the teams under the sun - including Chaos Dwarfs  :D

For freeware Blood Bowl, there is pretty much only the JBBowl client, you can get it at the http://fumbbl.com/ or directly at http://home.austin.rr.com/javabbowl/. Includes the latest Living Rulebook and all races. You can even get custom pitch backgrounds and icon sets, if you look long enough. (I also have a nice set of pitches that I should archive sometime...)

95% chance: no. I think the only game so far that allowed cross-platform multiplayer was Shadowrun.

Ah too bad...well I guess that I will be able to play with the PC users only in that case.  :-X
