Right now I'm the #2 seed in my conference with a record of 13-2. The #1 seed is 14-1 and we still have to play but im a little unsure as to what to do... this is why:

The third seed in our conference has a winning record with 12-13 wins and 2-3 losses (not sure exactly how many) but their team just went bot and a new team took over and they have no idea what they are doing yet so they will be an easy win in the playoffs.

However I am worried if i don't get the first seed, in the second round, his home court advantage could give him the win. The 4th seed is also decently strong and has posted a few very good games with good ratings (especially inside shooting) which makes me want to just stay as the second seed even more though... I'm torn..

This is basically what im debating in short terms:

2 more TIE enthusiasm points (from playing #1 seed THE Oregon Ducks, and the third seed in the playoffs who is a noob)

or

Homecourt advantage in the second round but less enthusiasm and the possibility of giving more enthusiasm and still losing to THE Oregon Ducks... Are 2 enthusiasm pops more important than homecourt or is it the other way around?

If any could take 10 minutes of their day to look at the 4 seeds on my side of the league and help me decide what i should do would be great. Thanks in advance

hc, also why are you so unsure to play the fourth normal in the PO especially with HC. Since the third is going to start a loosing streak, maybe he will even switch position with the current fourth i think that it still can get close.

your effort of playing oregon duck, will most likely not affect the enthusiam you have at the start of the PO.

I think HCA is better than 2 point of Enthusiasm. I think for your team performance HCA is roughly equal to 3 points in enthusiasm. But obviously if you have HCA your opponent doesn't so the net difference is almost twice bigger.

About enthusiasm, I'm not sure here, But It seems to give a "net bonus" (considering the same team lineup, and stamina). So the effect on teams with values of Ent 5 and 8 could be bigger than between teams, with 8 and 11 respectively.

HCA is also very important moneywise.

I'll probably play Normal vs the leader, as you have a decent point average vs the 3rd, so he is actually 2 wins behind.
I would not play CT if I had a high enthusiasm, however if your enthusiasm is around 5-6, you can consider CT is you can build it back vs weak teams before the play-offs.

yup thats what i said in the other thread

Your arena is nowhere near where it should be if your looking to promote. If i were you id start investing in seats asap!

Manon, can you break down my team like that?

Bulzaga just got back from a 2 week injury 1 game ago, and The other guy was injured for 2 weeks in the immediate game after Bulzaga's injury.

Yeah, only reason they have gameshape issues.

Get this guy----> Maurilio Manica(8735077) When he gets fouled he can make every single FT, unlike my team

:D
