Ya, I was trying to make it simpler with numbers, but may have got confusing. When u go to the tactics, click on ur current enth level, will probably be "ready" which is 5, the page that will open, when u scroll down will show u all the levels of enth ur team can have. Once u TIE ur level will go up when u set ur lineup for the following game, it'll start to make sense then.

The pt is if u TIE every game, ur team will play at a lower enth level the first couple of games, but eventually it will increase so much that even if u keep TIEing, ur enth level will be so high that ur team will play super hard, even if u keep TIEing... At the point when u have high enth and have a hard game, u can use normal and ur team will play very hard, although if the other team is way better u might still not win, so the point is pick ur battles to use normaland TIE all other games...

And ya, we can SC anytime, BB mail me if u have other questions too...

The best way to estimate the effects of crunch time, normal, or take it easy effort on enthusiasm is to use the calculator in the Coach Parrot spreadsheet.

See here for that (and other helpful programs and websites) (100218.2)

Comet not sure if ur right about TIE having a negative effect of the game after.

What i have been told in the past was the following:

TIE = You will play your game, but ur players will put in less effort compared to a normal game. The positive thing u will gain from it is ENTH which as you stated correctly is 1 of the most important things in the game.

CT = Your players will put more then their normal effort in the game. The negative thing here is it will cut your ENTH in half.

As far as i know it affects the game you use it for. So TIE wont affect your next game negatively but positively because of the extra ENTH u gained. CT will only give you a negative effect by having way less ENTH.

Hope it makes sense the way i tried to explain it. So TIE is ALWAYS POSITIVE. CT is mostly NEGATIVE (dont recommend using it in ur division games unless its to avoid relegation or to achieve promotion).

AEM

What I meant by next game is the VERY next game, the one ur setting tactics for. The games after that the effect is absolutely positive, sry for the confusion. By TIEing ull play the game at low enth, but will gain overall enth for the following games, and it is a very important thing in this game.

CT will not cut enth in half for the following games, ur players will play the game with more effort and ull lose overall enth by 1 or more likely 2 pts... Agree that should avoid CT and use only if one REALLY needs the win...

TIE is positive for the following games, but the very game u set the lineup it has negative effects as the players will put less effort.

Sry if I wasnt clear

CT DOES cut in half man.... if you CT at 12 enth, your going down to 6, if you CT at 8 enth, goes to 4, 6-3, etc. and so on.

I dunno about that... I dont't have a lot of experience in BB, so I dunno the exact details, but I experienced otherwise...

I CTed a couple times last season and I lost like 2 pts each time, Im confused now...

Nonetheless, we all agree that CT is "bad" and one should only use it in desperate games

Tough is right, CT cuts it in half, I've played CT 2-3 times this S and it did it every time.

wow, good to know, I didn't notice such a drop, but maybe my enth wasn't too high to begin with, I only noticed a 2pt drop or so... Nonetheless CT is bad, only worth using in the last game or something...
