If your position is locked then you should TIE to build up enthusiasm. After a game enthusiasm can go very high, but when going into a game I don't think it's ever higher than 10 or 11

I normally slowly build up my enthusiasm all season. If you TIE 1 game each week you can normally get up to 8-10 enthusiasm in 3 or 4 weeks.

Just TIE games you know you are going to win easily or know you have no chance at winning.

Just be warned if you TIE a game where you are away it's a lot harder to win than a game you TIE at home. (That's just from my experience)

That would be because when you play away the other team gets home court advantage.

So far I have TIE every game and have kept my enthusiasm between 12-15 although with the all star game its dipped - I have played all the top teams in my division and all the tough ones in the other division bar the unbeaten team - not sure whether I should TIE or play normal for that game - is there any real advantage in finishing unbeaten if you dont win the playoff?

cheers

What would you prefer? Get the playoffs home court advantage in the league finals with a worse entusiasm (for example 7)? or loose the home court advantage and get a better entusiams (9-10)? play away with more entusiasm or play at home with less entusiasm?

I would play TIE in your match leading up to the undefeated team, and then play CT against the undefeated team. Unless you think you are better than their team in which case just play normal. The reason I am suggesting this is that having HCA in the finals can be a huge advantage, and so try and make sure of the win against them. And you will still have plenty of time before playoffs to build your enthusiasm back up. Also if you finish unbeaten and happen to lose in the playoffs/finals then you might still promote via bot cleanup.
