I recently lost a very close home game. The opposing team scored against me at the buzzer twice, in 4th quarter and in overtime, to snatch the win. Both teams shot horribly from the field in that game. What I have found out after the game is that my enthusiasm did not go down from 11 (inspired) even after I chose Normal as the effort level. My enthusiasm usually lowers about one to two level after I play Normal above the enthusiasm level of 5 (ready).
So, is it possible that the enthusiasm did not have any effect on my team during the game? Are there any possible explanations for this?
Thanks in advance! :)
