We are seeing on playoff finals every season: 1 team decide "playoff normal" on second match and this team's players always are substitutes. So, that match is just garbage.

Have you seen like that in Utah Jazz - Chicago Bulls series? Or Lakers - Celtics series? Has Michael Jordan ever played "take it easy" against Jazz on Playoff finals? Or LeBron James?

I really hate this. And I have suggestion for it and this is very simple: Players should "will be too excited to 'take it easy' and 'normal'" in Playoff final and only option must one thing: Playoff Crunch Time.

I suggest that for Playoff finals (only 2 playoff final game and also tie-break) and Relegation games.

teams that play in the finals do have the tendency to have different levels of Enthusiasm... how can the conservative team use your suggestion to their advantage if they want to go hard in the Finals?

Teams will have Enthusiasm. If you have 8 level of Enthusiasm, and your rival has 6, you will have still advantage. But you can't select anymore "playoff normal" effort level in the finals. So, all of teams in the finals must go hard.

The team with the home court advantage already has a big advantage for the finals. Playing the second final game with playoff normal enthusiasm creates even bigger advantage for the 3rd game. So his suggestion is understandable. If everyone has to go playoff crunch time in the finals and in the relegation games, it will be more realistic and competative. It will simply be more fun.

Every team in the finals should play to win and not to lose. Playing playoff normal in the second game not only gives more advantage, but drastically reduces the realism in the game.

managing youre enthusiasm is a strategic choice and shouldn't be removed

the only reason why everybody plays TIE in game 2 is that game 3 is played the next day with a huge enthusiasm boost. if you don't like the current system, you should be asking for a schedule change

I agree.. 3rd game can also be used for 3rd person on the Training slot...

I know, I know. And that's the point.

I think, this is so much advantage for home teams. Home teams already have home court advantage. So, this extra enthusiasm boost is so much. And this strategy leads to: 2nd games are garbage. 70-80 points difference games.

"I agree.. 3rd game can also be used for 3rd person on the Training slot..."

This is playoff finals! Please don't think the training.

i don't see how your suggestion helps fighting against HCA

now if you don't have HCA you can play TIE-TIE-normal to at least gain ad enthusiasm advantage vs a generic normal-TIE-normal strategy

You wouldnt win the away game with lower enthusiasm. Also there isnt TIE in the playoffs. I think you guys need to read the suggestion of his more carefully because your answers are irrelevant.
