Kinda stupid dont you think?

No.

Especially since Playoff Normal is exactly like the regular season Normal, only better.

I just think keeping it at a certain standard would be easier for all players and teams. I dont know even if the TIE and enthusium is a great thing, as when you have a few good teams in the leauge they will always play TIE getting the extra advantage, while the lower teams either have to play normal or crunch time. How do lower teams get an advantage?

The rules are the same for everyone. Inferior teams should work hard to develop and purchase better players, not receive bonuses for their inferiority.

I wasnt talking about bonuses for inferior teams, im talking about creating a fair system. You always have to work to create a strong side and keep that, but when you work on it and the people above are doing the same, its hard to pull the crowd, harder to get the cash, if TIE and CT just matter for that game and only that game i think the system would be smoother and more fair to all

Except there are diminishing returns to how good your team could be, i.e. it gets progressively harder for good teams to get better, given monetary and market constraints.

The system is the same for everyone and this makes it inherently fair.

Does anybody know what bot-teams will do (playoff ct or playoff normal)?

And, is the difference between TIE & normal the same as between playoff normals & playoff CT?

Bot teams will play Normal or Playoff Normal, whichever is available for the particular type of game.

Playoff modes shuffle effort and enthusiasm effects a bit, but the influence of both is exactly the same as it would be in a regular season game.

I dont see how it can be the same for everyone, when a top team can use TIE pretty much all the time and then while a bottom team can never use it, well and win, meaning there enthusiasm will never go up. Now to me that already creates an unfair advantage.
Ok why dont you ask the bottom team in your league how many times they used TIE and compare it with how many times you used it?

The game functions exactly identically for every single team in the game. So the top teams have become top within the same framework as the bottom. I do'nt quite understand what you expect, handouts for everyone?

For reference top teams cannot exactly TIE if their opposition is strong enough to beat them when you do. Which can happen when the opposition spends some effort in figuring ways to strengthen their team, instead of whine in public fora.

I think you seriously need to have a rethink about how games like this evolve.... nobody would bother playing if todays positions were just going to be the same every season from now....

Bigger teams have higher salaries.... and soon wont likely be training new draftees.... up and coming teams can and squeeze better training profits.... the gap will of course not be easy to close but there are many ways to do it....

If you cant see them then for sure you wont be the one that creeps up the divisions instead you will be passed by teams below you!!
