Does enthusiasm affect the ability of the team? Then I mean, if my enthusiasm is 6, does the team perform better than it would if the enthusiasm was 5? And if it does, how much is the difference?

Yes higher enthusiasm will make your team perform better. Hard to quantify how much difference it makes other then to say having higher enthusiasm then your opponent can sometimes result in victories for your team that don't look possible on paper.

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Tact... There is a part about enthusiasm and using tie and ct. Remember not everything is written in the rules. Something you need to find out yourself. Facts: TIE raises your ent by 33%, CT lowers it by 50%.
Some have said that playing TIE at 7-8 ent equals playing normal at 5 ent.

Based on the post-game ratings, enthusiasm has an effect only on perimeter/inside defense and rebounding.

It's hard to find a simple rule but, just for reference, you can assume that these ratings increase by a notch every 2 points of enthusiasm.

For example:

enth.=5 -> average (low)
enth.=7 -> average (medium)
enth.=9 -> average (high),

and so on.

That's not correct. Enthusiasm and effort level have an effect on different parameters, it's very hard to compare them.
Let's say that a high enthusiasm artificially increases some of your players' ratings during a game, while a high effort (crunch time) gives them a slight edge in a number of game situations. It's a similar effect, but not quite comparable.

I believe that the entusiasm only affects defense and rebounding.

you should drop believing in it. enthusiasm affects all ratings.

Coach parrot doesn't say so and why in the NT scrimmages there are teams with prolific (11) in the Offence and Respectable (7) or Strong (8) in the Defence?

I'm pretty sure enthusiasm has more effect than just def and reb. I agree that playing CTvsN is different than playing TIE-N. We can ofcourse argue about those team ratings and what they represent (for example having one 450k monster can boost your ID a lot while I still score a lot inside at every other position than C etc.). Remember that coachparrot is not written by a BB.
I'm not saying TIE at ent 7-8 = N at ent 5. Some just have stated it. It's a bit more complicated. Looking at point difference it creates might imply that it's the truth, but game outcomes have more variables in them than just ent (game shape, matchups, HCA, etc etc).
