The overall match experience has been improved tenfold, but there's still work to be done. Push an opponent off the pitch into the crowd and the animation is much more vicious now, as the adoring fans wail into them and blood spurts everywhere. Since your coach character is visible and animated on the side of the pitch, selecting an emote will showcase it in a smaller window for both coaches to see. You can even taunt your opponent now with four different emotes available tease, celebration, incitement, and despair. With thumping drums in the background and the low, sweeping camera that splits the two teams, each Blood Bowl match truly feels like a sporting spectacle with tremendous atmosphere rather than a tabletop game transferred to a virtual environment.

The pre-match cutscenes from the last game have been improved upon now, with panoramic views of the thematic stadium, crowd angsty and raring to go in the background, followed by a view of the two teams facing off against one another. With that in mind, Blood Bowl 3 feels much more impressive.
