It's a catch-22 for the home court teams under the current system.

1 - CT to match the likely CT from the away team and lower the chance to advance in further round (cross your fingers and hope the opposing team also had to CT'd and didn't cut any kind of deal w/ their opp)

2 - Normal, and hope you don't get upset, though the odds may have just tipped in the opp's favor.

3 - Try to cut a deal w/ your opp, in which you both might benefit.

But, I happy to see this might be the last season we'll have to deal with this system in the POs

thats right I'm whining i don't even want the enthusiasm. I'm assuming Philly must have used there Ct in game 1 on Sunday and Golden State must have used it last year in the first round. Its a stupid system. but if they are going to have it and teams can win on TIE easy and can afford to gain enthusiasm then they should be able to. in my 14 games in playing TIE i was 13-1 so i don't care that much but if you have a system in place then you should be able to take advantage of it. Thats what the day traders do so why should i not be a loud to here.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Next season, CT will not be a choice in the playoffs.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I must also say that I think the enthusiasm system is not really a good solution. It is inherited from Hattrick, and I think the main reason for introducing it is that it is an easy way to implement something that adds some kind of strategic planning and excitement.

However, the bad thing is that it is not logical. Suppose a team (other than the spurs perhaps) would play thue the regular season with orders from the coach to TIE in every game. Would they then be likely to come to the playoffs ell prepared? I think not. Instead you must find a mix where you play at full in the right games (top opposition), to "get things going", and lower in others, not to be burned out once it's playoff time.

why do i have no clue because i think the enthusiasm is a dumb idea or because i dont like day trading. Which all it does is hurt most players in the game as they are trying t get a player for themselves as other are raising the price so they can make more money on them. Yes this is a manager game which is based of of real life. Which means we should not add stupid things to it like the enthusiasm and day trading. every body in this game is trying to manipulate it buy having multiple teams and cheating by buying there own players or day trading to make more money. So excuse me for taking it easy the second half of the season to gain enthusiasm for the layoffs and trying to take advantage that way. As you said this is a manager game so why cant i expect to have it higher. I think i earned the right to by playing half my games on easy.

That's not the way enthusiasm works, or ever has worked, in BuzzerBeater.

No one else has that applied to them, why would you?
