Is that allowed in the Rules?

(I've learned from being married and especially from my little girl that strategy may get good short-term results, but after some time the men will eventually break down and lose all morale.)

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Honestly, I think the solution would be that if both people TIE, then the enthusiasm bonus should be halved or even something more dramatic.

Also, if you TIE and lose (fans hate lackluster performances), there should be a penalty in terms of your fan support. Maybe this could be counter-acted by CT's or something, but add to the fan survey

The team played hard in the last game: 1/2 ball

Something like that...

I agree with that

Not possible because both managers could have TIE without informing each other in order to improve their enthusiasm. When both teams have TIE it does not automatically mean that it was a pre-arranged TIE!

I guess I don't see that as a problem.

because people get an disadvantage, because of the setting of the opponent ...

So a player is in advance when he play tie vs a bot, instead of tieing against an real league opponent who also tie.

I understand that. I just feel that BuzzerBeater needs to move towards player development, basketball tactics & strategy and sound financial decision making as the major paths to success...not an enthusiasm management system that isn't really reflective of the game of basketball. Again, that's my opinion.

it is no really reflecting the basketball game, even if NBA teams share are bit of their power during the regular season too ;) But this have more to do do, with holding a good "fitness".

But i also thinks that this enthusiams system is a funny part of tactics and strategy.

I am definitely against limiting a manager's choice in the matter. In many cases playing normal against a hopelessly better opponent is ridiculously dumb.

Couldnt agree more. I had the top three opponents from my div in a row on my shcedule. I played my best 5 and did a CT and still lost by 20. With the two top teams now ahead, and my enthusiasm low the only wise choice for my team was to TIE. Kind of like the washington generals do vs the globetrotters.

This is also a valuable strategy when freshly promoted. If you dont want to go right back down you might TIE all the best teams and norm/ct the teams you have a chance against. I guess you could valiantly march your high school team in to play the Lakers every time, and pep talk your heart out. Probably yield the same result.
