ive read everything i can find about enthusiasm, my question for it is if you take it easy and your number raises does your play escalate even if you take it easy for the next game because of the idle enthusiasm being higher?

also if you have it raised and you play normal will u play better then if you played at normal with a 5?

and if you only have 5 and you ct, would they actually play any harder?

and one more, how much enthusiasm do you loose/day while waiting on the next game? i know its variable but im sure someone has calculated it out for all the numbers by now lol

ok and now to stamina
does it ever reset like game shape does? or randomly drop? or is it more of a skill like say js that wont drop till u get older and naturally decline

thanks you for any help and advice

If I understood your questions correctly, then my answers are:

1) Your players play better if you TIE with enthusiasm 7 than if you TIE with enthusiasm 6

The same applies if you play Normal or CT. I wouldn't use the word "harder" to avoid confusion.

I haven't seen any formula on the decay/increase of enthusiasm, but the further it is from 5 the faster it approaches 5.

Stamina is not a fixed skill. It will slowly decline regardless of age, and can be trained with the same efficiency regardless of age. Training it once a season is enough to keep it from going down

While I have not seen any statistical evidence to confirm it, my understanding is that Enthusiasm affects how well your players play (whether it improves/reduces their individual effectiveness or team ratings I'm not sure of). That being said, TIE will reduce their effectiveness for that single game, while increasing your Enthusiasm rating immediately following it, so as the first responder noted, TIE with Enthusiasm of 7 will play better than with Enthusiasm of 6. Normal plays at their normal effectiveness for that single game while providing no bonus to the rating immediately following the game. CT plays more effective for that single game while penalizing your rating immediately following it.

I am not sure of the actual speed with which Enthusiasm drops daily, but your rating gravitates back to 5, with the speed increased the further you are away from 5, e.g. if you have Enthusiasm of 10, it will drop faster than if you have Enthusiasm of 6.

Stamina does not reset, but it can drop. It can be trained as a skill through Team training, though, meaning you can train the entire team at full training without worrying about minutes played. For that reason, it's probably best to train it during a 2 game week. It's one of the quickest if not THE quickest skill to train, so you should get pops in 1-2 weeks.

Playing TIE,Normal or CT does not affect the ratings but affects the way your team plays that game. The enthusiasm that you have (numerical value) affects the defences and the rebounding.
If you play TIE your enthusiasm raises 33% but it will always gravitate to 5. If you play Normal the enthusiasm will not change, only with the daily update (don't forget, always gravitates to 5). And if you play Crunch Time your enthusiasm will be cut in half.
