However, when it comes to enthusiasm a playoff CT works as a "Normal" (i.e. you do not loose enthusiasm using CT in the playoffs) and a playoff normal works as a "TIE" (i.e. playoff normal builds enthusiasm).
That's a pretty important statement. Can anyone confirm this?
For particularly important games, including league playoff games, relegation games, and the final two rounds of the national tournament, your players will be too excited to "take it easy". In these games, the only options available are Playoff Normal, in which your team receives the enthusiasm effects of a regular Take It Easy but the effort level of a regular Normal, and Playoff Crunch Time, in which your team receives the enthusiasm effects of a regular Normal but the effort level of a regular Crunch Time.
That's correct. There will be more than one frustrated manager after the first playoff round...
I don't see what the problem is. If someone expected TIE and CT to be completely removed from the playoffs -- this is not going to happen.

What worries me is that a few (perhaps a lot) users will be confused and will not understand or miss the difference between playoff CT and CT. This people will typically be those that are least engaged in the game today, i.e. there interest for the game is extra vulnarable for "hits".
Well as you compete against another team you can if you take a malinformed decision, but this has already been discussed here: (38954.1)
In terms of in-game performance, you're going to get exactly what you can expect from the tactic. If you wanted to make a strategic decision and chose one of the tactics without knowing exactly what it does, well, RTFM
