So I'm moving house and having internet service provider issues.

How much data will playing a game of bloodbowl take up? Any ideas?

Are you going to try playing through your phone?

(What does it matter to you? Does that change your answer?)

Couldn't be much - it's java, not a stream, so a discrete number of packets and none very large I'd think. But as for a hard number for UL/DL volume, no idea, sorry.

(Might want to ask in "Ideas & Bug Reports" /subforum - more tech-heads there than here, but I'd expect you'll get some response here as well sooner or later.)

I'm reasonably confident you could play on dial-up without issue.

Biggest data source is player images and team logos. Besides that it is pretty much nothing once you downloaded the client.

OP may be worried about thru-put, but he may also be on a (very?!) limited data plan.

Either way, it shouldn't be a problem unless it's VERY limited. But still, some hard numbers would be interesting.
