I saw a post by Brian James a while back about starting with enthusiasm 10 and trying to maintain it (only using CT when required) which to me seemed much more logical.

I'm open to suggestions on that. It seems like in a three-game series, there's enough room for enough possibilities that having both options adds a more interesting gameplay element.


Right. I fight my way through the season. I tie, i ct and i normal for 20 games.I am second in the league. I fought hard to earn that spot. Now, the 4th place team comes, and CTs me with a high level of enthusiasm. Why does he have such a high level? because the last 3 teams in league III.6 are bot controlled. they pose no threat to him. his spot in the playoffs is assured.

Either you guys take out CT/TIE out of playoffs or reset enthusiasm when in playoffs. Because, honestly, i don't see the fairness in a 'kamikaze' underdog winning over me.
Last season i lost for the same reason, enthusiasm. With 2 players-9k/week and 4-6k/week i lost to an averaging 4.5 k/week. I tend to blame this on enthusiasm and not on my tactician skills.

Just to point out, you could also choose to CT against him. If you CT and he CTs, then with home court you should stand a very good chance of winning, right?

Not to mention that he can also choose to TIE a bit towards the end of the regular season and gather some enthusiasm at the cost of a guaranteed top finish. There are plenty of options there.

I'm sure there's plenty of options in the Bulgarian third division, when you're twice as strong as the next best team. Not quite the same in more competitive divisions.

Actually, there are no options in the Bulgarian third division. You TIE all the way and then end up with home court through most of the playoffs.

In more competitive leagues, however, there are real options which include real trade-offs. Such as league position for enthusiasm, for example.

First option is always get as many mutual tie's as possible. Everything else is a distant 2nd.

If that defines your idea about tactical planning, I am afraid I can't help you much. But I will let you know how it goes without mutual TIEs when I get to a division that's borderline competitive. Until then, we can agree to disagree, I guess.

When there's very little between a bunch of teams, and there's so much revenue to gain from winning it's inevitable.

My experience from other games we both play in tells me it is absolutely 'evitable' ;) I fail to see why BB should be different.

HT? It's the polar opposite of BB in terms of revenue. There's no financial incentive to promote. I purposely demoted from III to IV cause I could make so much more money in a lower division.
