For those of you in the finals either previously or currently what is the enthusiasm level of your team when having played playoff CT for the previous two PO games?

I played PO normal and won both my games and my enthusiasm is at an 8. My opponent played PO CT both games, will my enthusiasm be significantly higher even if I play normal and he plays CT??

Since your opponent hasn't played any TIE or playoff normal (as far as I guess looking at his last 7 games) his enthusiasm will be at 5.

With your team having an 8, playing PO normal will cause, that the enthusiasm is equal (5 against 5), but you will have an advantage next game.

Sorry but I'm not following it... He has 8, his opponent has 5. If he plays Normal next game he will have 9, but will increase the chances of being defeated today because of difference in attitude. Because, enthusiasm and attitude are two different things.

Also, it is important to consider who has the HCA in this sort of calculations...

I'm sorry but the way I see it, playing TIE or in the playoffs PO normal with an enthusiasm of 8 has the same effect as if playing PO CT with an enthusiasm of 5. So the attitude should be the same.

Please correct me if I am wrong here.

Of course the HCA is also important, but that was not the question

You are wrong there. Enthusiasm and Attitude are two different things wich can not be compared individually. Is, more or less, like saying that JS and JR are the same thing: There is no sense in saying JS 15 and JR 10 is the same as JS 13 and JR 12 (Even if for some kind of distances it "might" be). Only in very limited situations - maybe - enthusiasm and attitude can be succesfully compared.

But, this difference in nature does not prevent you from saying something like "The total gain you have playing with enthusiasm 8 instead of 5, in my personal opinion, does pay off the loss of playing TIE instead of normal". But that is an opinion based on a global apreciattion of their effects, just like someone who says that it is better to have JS 13 and JR 12 instead of JS 15 and JR 10 in a given position for any distance.

Clearly, we all know JS and JR are different things but, when it comes to judge their impact on performance, you can have your own authorized word about their global effect in a shot.

Just try to make the statement clear enough so people who does not know the difference can be aware of it.

Okay, thanks for putting me right there.

Sorry, if I caused some confusion.

Don't worry, this is what help forums are intended to do ;)
