How much would u say your winning probability will increase per enthusiasm level.

ex 1 point= 2 % (just a figure of speech) ......no idea in reality lol

That's impossible to answer when you factor in home advantage, strength of the opponent, random factor, game shape of both teams etc.

the previous poster is right, but i think of it like this (and its just my opinion based on my experience and simplified to get across what i want to say).

I find that playing a TIE at enthusiasm 9/10 could give a similar team performance to playing a normal at enthusiasm 5.
Playing a normal at enthusiasm 9/10 could be similar to playing a CT at enthusiasm 5.

Of course to build up your enthusiasm you have to play TIE a few times
I dont know what a TIE at 5 enthusiasm is - perhaps a bit like a normal at enthusiasm 3 or 4?
and a CT at enthusiasm 5 is perhaps like a normal at 8 or 9 enthusiasm.

But if you CT at 5 enthusiasm bear in mind your following games will be TIE/Normal/CT at enthusiasm 2 or 3 which would be really bad compared to anything you do at enthusiasm 5!

hope i havent confused you (and the rest of the world) but believe me when i say enthusiasm management is very important and can be very effective when used properly. As is gameshape and tactical choice - all these things can turn an ordinary team into a great team in your league over the course of a season.

I agree with you, it's something like that. But I think you would agree we can't figure out the percentage like the original poster wanted :)))

+1 ball for good ent explanation

thanks.

something else that might be helpful is that i reckon playing one more effort level than your opponent (if they on similar enthusiasm to you) could turn a game that you would otherwise lose by 10-20 points to one that looks a lot more level (say within 5 points) by the end of the game. obviously when things get close at the end of the game anything can happen with free throws, fouls etc.

its not a % but with experience you can normally call the difference between you and your opponent with some scouting and educated guesses.
