What are the effects of taking it easy on the game? I'm experimenting taking it easy with my second team first game we gave up more than a 100. Should I take notes about that game? I'm going up against a recently promoted divsion 5 team first game thinking it should be a win as im taking it easy for the 1st game. Then my 2nd game im crunching before my cup match to try to go 2-0 on the season.

Read the Guide to Buzzerbeater (it's one of the sticky posts in the forums) - it will help you loads:

How does enthusiasm work?
Each game (except scrimmages and private leagues which are set to normal by default) you may select an effort level in the lineup page. Next to this there will be a number telling you your enthusiasm level. The higher the enthusiasm level the better your players will play. Playing TIE will mean that your players won’t play as well, but your enthusiasm level will increase by 1/3. Playing Normal will mean that your enthusiasm level will not be affected. Playing CT will mean that your players will play better, but enthusiasm level will be cut in half. However, for all levels of enthusiasm, it will automatically tend back to 5, and the further away from 5 the quicker it jumps back. The enthusiasm is updated at the daily update each day and after each match. The max enthusiasm it is possible to have going into a game is 12.

It is a generally accepted rule that playing TIE with an enthusiasm level of 8 is the same as playing Normal with an enthusiasm level of 5. This is debatable and there are many managers who do not agree with this statement.

Thank you.

I might be wrong, but I seem to recall that last season at some moment I've had an enthusiasm rating of +12, is it possible that the maximum enthusiasm rating is actually 15? I'm quite sure that I have seen at a rating of at least 13 at some moment.

thanks my 2nd team was loosing to a bot who only had 2 really good players on the team I gdp right thanks for the info

2 weeks of going tie gives you 15 - 6 games total. You have to win your cup games though. Max is 11 on game day or inspired enthusiasm. It is rounded off. 10.5 gives you 11 while 10.4 gives you 10. Game shape is more critical but high enthusiasm helps a lot.

Enthusiasm Ratings
The following is a list of the enthusiasm ratings that teams can have:
exhausted
worn out
weary
reserved
ready
encouraged
focused
eager
motivated
determined
inspired
zealous
fanatical
obsessed
unstoppable

Actually, the highest level of enthusiasm you can have on game day is zealous (12).

Except during the finals, but let's not nitpick!

Also since you can't go beyond 12 even by TIEing every game, I would say that it's more "efficient" to alternate TIE and Normal over the course of a season (while you're still in the cup). By TIEing all games, the GE uses an average equivalent Entusiasm of 8-9. If you normal some game, than the GE will use 11-12 for that game, Enthusiasm will drop a bit after that, but you can restore it to 12 by TIEing again.
