Kind of.

It would be impossible for you to change something during game such as described, however you could set changes for possible scenarios before the match. For example, another field at the end of the set orders page "take it easy if winning by 20 at half time".

It would be impossible to change orders during game because the games are calculated very fast, less than seconds probably, but if we could set hypothetical situations in which our team could have different behaviors, then that too would be calculated. From what I heard, BB calculates the game play-by-play, so that shouldn't be and issue.

Obviously the "take it easy if winning by 20 at half time" is hypothetical. You should have to choose between "TiE, Normal or CT" and then "Winning or Losing" and then "By 10, 20, 30, 40, 50" or so on, and then "after 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter", and it would also be nice if there were the possibility of making more than one order such as that, because you never know if you will be winning or losing.

It would sure make enthusiasm calculations waaaay more complicated, but surely more realistic.

edit: Oh, and it would be a major strategy tool for the game!

Or maybe get rid of enthusiasm for the playoffs? Doesn't really make sense (from a realistic point of view) to have it in there when everybody tries to win each game.

You can't have enthusiasm during the season & then remove it for playoffs.

The enthusiasm system isnt realistic but is needed to increase the tactical options of an online game in my opinion.

If teams only had the option of playing 'normal' each and every game there would rarely, if ever, be upsets.

The impact of enthusiasm on the GE has been reduced after the all-star break and it seems to be working better in that the stronger team will win more often if there is one level difference between the teams effort for the game.

And enthusiasm... simply don't see the impact. You play TIE with enthusiasm 10, against a similar team, Normal with enthusiasm 5, and you 99% of times will lose.

That's not even close to being true.

I agree. I'd love it if they got rid of TIE/CT altogether.

I dont like Ct/TIE but what I dislike even more is having CT/TIE in a 1 game play off series.
There are plenty of reasons not to have Best of 1 Series, one reason is CT/TIE. (11991.1)

If the teams are roughly equal, I would guess that a home 10 TIE vs. away 5 normal would win 90% of the time.

If it's an away 10 TIE vs. home 5 normal, I would say the 10 would win 65%.

These are guesses, but educated guesses.

I'd say it'd be 90/75, but that's just an educated guess also.
