Can you create a custom team logo in the PC version? If so, how does that work?

Yes, you can import your own logos or team colors. You just have to import it from your hard drive. It’s pretty easy.

I received a lot of Xbox 360 Achievement questions – can you throw them a bone and give us one sample achievement?

Should we make them very easy so that more people buy the game just for the achievements? Ha. More seriously, the achievements in Blood Bowl are based on performances during matches such as killing a certain number of opponents, beating the opposing by a certain number of touchdowns, etc… Missing a certain number of passes, failing to pick up the ball (maybe).

Can you elaborate a bit on the DS/PSP league system? Can you play a solo offline league on the DS and PSP?

Like on the PC, you will have the possibility to play in offline leagues and cups in the portable versions of Blood Bowl. However due to save size limits, we won’t be able to keep records for as many seasons as on PC. In multiplayer, you will be able to square off against a buddy using preset teams or a team that was exported from the solo mode.

Will Blood Bowl be available on Xbox Live Arcade or in stores?

Stores only.

Can you share the PC requirements?

Windows XP / Vista, 2.4 ghz CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 128 Mo graphics card (supporting 2.0 shaders) so that means Geforce 6600 minimum. 3 GB of hard drive space. Intel, SIS, VIA/S3G graphics chipset are not supported.

Will the PC version use StarForce for its copy protection?

Honestly, I don’t know at this point. Probably not but I can’t guarantee it since no final decision has been made.

Is there a save game feature? If you can’t sit down for an entire match?

Yes we have implemented an in-match save feature for people that don’t have the time to play an entire match.
