Do we know anything about the effects of enthusiasm on playing levels?

For example, we think you get a 50% reduction in Enthusiasm after CT but does this equate to a 50% boost in playing level? If I have a level 10 Inside Defender will he play like a level 15 Inside Defender?

Unfortunately, the exact number of the boost still eludes us.

We know that CT will give us a boost, yes. But we do not know how big a boost it is. It is rather inaccurate that a CT will make your level 10 Inside Defender play with the ratings of a level 15 Inside Defender. Instead of increasing your players ratings, the CT actually improves your chances during the play. Your chance of obtaining a rebound or your chance at making a shot. This increase translates to more shots/rebounds made which makes your players to appear to be playing at a higher level.

So if your player has a 30% chance of making a shot, CT might boost it up to 40% (I am just speculating at the amount here). His skill level remain the same throughout the game. It's all about giving you better chances.

That depends. I assume the ratings are what gives your players the appropriate percentage chance of completing a play. If for instance your chance of rebounding a shot is 60% for a strong rebounder, that chance will increase under CT but it would also increase if he was a prominent rebounder so we aer basically saying the same thing.

Do we know how a high level TIE compares to a mid level normal? For instance is TIE with a 10 enthusiasm going to allow you to play the same as if you had a 5 enthusiasm and played normal?

It's been my experience that my players play as well or better, on TIE with high enthusiasm. I'd expect results to vary, however.

If you think of a BB game as a series of coinflips, CT makes the coin weighted to your advantage -- and TIE the opposite. Given the random factors, you can never be 100% sure. High enthus makes your players better, but whether it will make them good enough to miss a few extra shots against the opponent will depend on who you're playing.

It has been said on the forums, and accepted to a certain extent, that a TIE with enthusiasm 9-10 gives you the same level of performance as a Normal with enthusiasm 5. Rough estimates put it that with TIE, you play with half you current enthusiasm and with CT you play with double. But these are just estimates being bandied about with no concrete proof behind them.

I've TIE-ed my last game and my team enthusiasm level went from 5 to 7. That was yesterday. Today, it went down to 6.
My next league game is in two days. What can I expect to happen with my team's enthusiasm level in meantime? I mean, will there be another drop or will I go into that game with level 6 enthusiasm?

I'm pretty sure that you will still have a level 6 enthusiasm. Good luck in your game.

Does anyone know how much you lose if you boycott a match? Is it half?

regarding entheusiasm in the play offs...

As you are not able to use TIE or CT in the playoffs does that mean that your entheusiasm level is set for the whole playoffs at the level at which you start?

No.

Enthusiasm is not reset, and the two options can impact enthusiasm.

Playoff Normal will raise enthusiasm, while Playoff CT will keep it the same.

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