Blood Bowl: Star Coach!??

[aran]

So this is a game. It's Cyanide Studios trying to cash in on the Football Manager frenzy, I guess? It looks... bad. I haven't played it, though, so I'm not willing to pass final judgment. I have seen this:

Let's try some Blood Bowl : Star Coach - YouTube

Which makes it looks like they pretty royally messed up the most basic part of a management game, which is to have an at-least-useful interface. It also seems like a big part of the game is pseudo-programming AI using a painful interface.

And it's free-to-play.

Has anyone tried it?

EDIT: Oh... uh... maybe I should've put this in the videogame thread. I apologize. I haven't been here in a while and this game reminded me to check up on the forums.

Well it's Cyanide, you should know better than to expect that.

It uses the worst version of Blood Bowl (The Real TIme Blitz Rules), doesn't even really use the rules (Seven players on a team), and you can't even watch the game.

AVOID. AVOID.

Why is it so hard for companies to make sure their games are good before they try and sell them?
