last night I had a game against a team that was 10-11 and I played normal that was a game to decide my spot in the play off second or third so I played normal and he played crunch time and he beat me by 15 I think crunch time always beats normal and TIE



In your last game you tried harder than your opponent so he cant have possibly Ct'ed you..also you won by 16????? where did you get the above information from?

also, with respect the ratings both teams achieved will leave a lot down to the random factor.... wait another season and as your ratings increase you will learn more about the effect of enthusiasm

My last game at home I played TIE against CT and lost with only 12 points difference, and I had a lead till the 4th quarter... Take a look, if I have played normal, I would surely win...

The commentary on effort was: "ValeffronS looked like the only team trying out there.", that's how he knows.

Yes, exactly... The commentaries are different... And look at the NT game of Nigeria vs. USA, you can see that Nigeria played CT and USA TIE...

You only can't tell who played what when you get the standard 'team X put more effort then team Y' message, then you know that either one team has played CT, and other Normal, or one team Normal, and other TIE...

But if you pumped up Enthusiasm to 8-9, and your opponent didn't (now you can be sure by looking at his last 3 league games), you can play Normal and still win... Normal at 8 is approximately the same as CT at 5...

Any hard data to confirm that ? In my experience people with high enthusiasm (bigger than 8) trying to play normal almost always loose when facing an opponent playing CT.

If you have the better team, you're surely going to win...

This is my last year semi-final, I played Normal with 8, opponent played CT with 5 (he told me), and I crushed him cause I had way better team:

But this match was under the old game engine. The CT/N/TIE system has changed a lot.
Am I wrong?

You're not wrong, now TIE/N/CT have smaller effect then before :) That's what BBs said...

I´m feeling ironic tone in your post... ;-)
Two things are clear:
CT is stronger than before because it affects to everything, including faults!
CT is independent of enthusiasm, so the effect is the same with E=1 or E=10.
Question is: Can a high enthusiasm (more Def and Rbd) equilibrate the CT effect (more of everyhting)?
Of course, it depends of the particular team. Very strong teams can take risks, but for similar teams the risk can be very high.
Second question is: How much better shall a team be to take unneccesary risks in a 1-match playoff?

Where did you get this from?

I think CT still affects only defense and rebounding, but you can't see it in the ratings anymore... BBs said it will look more like random now, couple of rebounds more for you if you play CT and so... If you don't have good shooters, I can't see how they can become better only by playing CT...
