Absolutely meaningless change. It's user unfriendly one. I don't like it.

agreed. i don't like it at all either.
i'd really like it changed back to how it was before.

(who even came up with this???)

New managers might like though.

Except there's a good chance they won't even see it.
There are 3 tactics complexity, & enthusiasm is only shown under "AllStar" (the most complex option)

Tactics Complexity:
Rookie -- Veteran -- AllStar

to be honest, if i was new i'd be way more confused by the new random adjectives than by plain numbers. (how do you even compare being "focused" vs. being "eager"? the focused team sounds a whole lot scarier IMO...)

and they made enthusiasm of 5 seem a lot better than it is (5 = "ready" now). i mean isn't being ready a really good thing? better to be ready than simply "inspired", right?

hhmmm, I got focused. Highest I got was this:

fanatical

I got 7 enth!

I don't think odsessed and zealous make sense. More like these would fit better:

upbeat



ready to smash like Hulk!

a gm posted this in our forums:
It's more about the fact everything else in BB is measured by a word, rather than a numerical value...so its just moving the enthusiasm system to be consisentent with that.

so guess it's not for the newer players.

It's an interesting change. I might have paid more attention to enthusiasm when I started the game (IOW "figure it out") if it wasn't a number. That was the biggest hurdle for me initially was figuring out the non-quantitative nomenclature.

That said, maybe having a display option for each user (verbal vs. numeric)

At the start, figuring out the nomenclature was a challenge for me too, and at times, still is. I'd like being able to toggle between the nomenclature and #'s would for different areas, but it does seem like more of a wish than a need. I don't know how much it bothers others, and how much time and work it'd take to implement that. On the other hand, this new enthusiasm nomenclature was implemented though.

Atrocious to Proficient has become second nature with the GS updates, but I can honestly say I still don't know all 20 skills, potential, roles, staff levels, etc off the top of my head. Pulling up the skill table, a mouse-over, or the very few times I have to look it up isn't that inconvenient to me though.

A BB may have done it in a 1 hr lunch break or he was working on it for 5 minutes a day in his lunch break, coming to this conclusion. Well at least they're still active. BB-Patrick, when will you inform us of the tanking situation?

I like it a lot. I get a lot of BB mails from our users and some don't know what enthusiasm means or why do they play badly after a crunch time. When they see "Entusiasm 5" or "Enthusiasm 8", they don't know what's the difference. However, if they will see a descriptive adjective, they will know their team is badly prepared after a CT.
