I'm playing a cup game this week @ a division V Computer team ((30708)). I'm not sure whether I should use "Take It Easy" or the normal attitude. I just used "Crunch Time" in my last game, but I'm worried that if I lose this game, I won't be able to make any more money from cup games. Any thoughts?

Let's see - you're playing on the road with less enthusiasm. This has bot cupset written all over it. If you don't want to risk a loss, play your starters and normal. Even then, a win is not 100% guaranteed for you.

He's also playing a team that has appears to have been a bot forever, though they can be tricky for lower division teams.

I looked at the early season match ratings for both teams and they are not that much different. His are better but not by a huge margin.

Sure, he's playing a bot but the bot is not going to roll over for him. I remember in my early days I tied a bot on the road and was punished for it. And I think my enthusiasm was pretty good at the time.

My early Cup history is comical, so maybe I shouldn't comment.

Surly if you only have a eth of about 3, then the difference between TIE and normal on your eth is nominal? Daily increase will more effective. I'd consider going normal.

I think the more important thing to note - you played normal and won. A TIE and you probably would have lost.

TIE, unless you need the money.
