4 - If you CT and win, Enthusiasm will drop less, maybe half as much Your coach just got your fired up for big game and you lost, suck! Your not quite going to get back up for the next big game the same way if you had pulled off a win in that game.


Your best idea. I could live with this.

I would like the 'benefit' of CT to be less than the benefit of a home game, however. So if you are playing a better team on the road, the better team will still get a higher net 'adjustment' (what ever that means in game terms). That would make telling a team to CT on the road is gamble. At home, it is a good bet. That would be semi-realistic for me.

with regard to home court advantage:

As it is now, I think the changes this season were to lower CT to the point that it would be about the same as home court advantage. I proposed a slight decrease in the effect of CT (maybe reduce it 1/4th what it is now, whatever, the BB's could pinpoint that), which would make it less effective than the home court advantage.

It would be nice to hear from the BB's that they actually read these threads and are considering changing enthusiasm.

If not, we are all just wasting our time.

I don't think the word has anything to do with it - it's the concept, and no I don't think a player by player solution would be good.

the main problem (which we inherited from HT) is that enthusiasm is not the right word for what the thing is. it's more of a "team energy level".

one possible alternative could be, as some italian users suggested, to allow the manager to TIE/CT on a per-player basis — a few players can be instructed to go as hard as they can, or just try to avoid getting hurt. my major doubt about this is that it may be too hard for new users to get right.

Honestly, if we're going to set individual orders for each player for each match, I'd rather have more game control than a player enthusiasm setting.

Enthusiasm isn't quite what it is in HT either.

In HT there are a lot of other factors to managing TS (your trainers leadership, player moves, training percentage) and other things you can do to offset bad TS (ie. WTM, extra IM, etc). Management of TS is fair more complicated than Enthusiasm in BB.

Here, once you're team is destine for the playoffs, I think people start TIE.

Personally, I think there needs to be something that effects the overall performance of teams (a game in which the best team always wins regardless wouldn't be much fun or challenge), but I'm not sure how much a user should be able to manage it or if it should just be a background factor, maybe effected by certain events (personal moves, the playoffs, long road trips, tough loses, player arrests etc.).

And once you get to the playoffs, you try to cut TIE deals to get an edge further on...

The GE takes care of the random, I think it provides a nice balance of reality esp based on some of the upsets posted in the forums.

but I'm not sure how much a user should be able to manage it or if it should just be a background factor, maybe effected by certain events (personal moves, the playoffs, long road trips, tough loses, player arrests etc.).


That would be like team confidence in HT, which makes more sense IMO than enthusiasm/team spirit.
