Crunch Time increases enthusiasm today, decreases next game.
Take It Easy decreases enthusiam today, increases next game.
This is not true. CT and TIE do not have any effects on enthusiasm in the current game (or it would have been visible in the team ratings). What CT and TIE do is is change the random factor in the game a little bit in your favor, or a little bit against you, respectively. This effect is not seen in team ratings.
