Just saw this old suggestion as I was about to make a similar one, so I thought I would comment here.

As many mentioned, removing the enthusiasm option from a final would take away some of the strategy, but what if instead we were to add in some "momentum" aspect to the finals. That is if you lose a game by a lot (such as when teams throw the game) then you lose "momentum" and are more likely to do poorly in the next game.

This could possibly favor the home team by giving them momentum after their first win at home, but it could be fixed so that momentum is only affected by large point differentials. You could even make it that a team gains momentum if they almost win the road game (thus incentivizing an effort to at least make the game close). This would leave the strategy aspect in the game where managers have to balance the chance to get an enthusiasm boost, but a potential loss in momentum.

As an easy implementation big finals losses could simply lower enthusiasm and then you wouldn't have to add in a whole new aspect.


I like this one, good idea.

How about just save/load the GE used on their League Games... of those teams that will play on Play offs... and the GE will use what it learned best to use according to the Playoffs settings of both teams... so definitely the team that won more on those matches will have the upper hand... much more if those team will play again with the same matchup/lineup...

you mean historically or the single match they played in the current season?
i wouldn't want to play on a disadvantage in the grand finals only because when i played my opponent in the regular season he had HCA

so you mean in the entire playoff brackets? i thought it was only about the finals

if you're talking about every playoff game, i think in most cases this would result in an extra advantage for the stronger team who usually also has HCA already

EDIT: sorry, i'm just trying to understand your suggestion but what you're trying to say is not clear

Only those 2 League Games of the same Season... 1 over the Opponents Home Court and the Own Home Court
So the GE will start from what it learned best to use from those games... rather than to start from the Normal way it simulate the matches in Leagues games.
