Your team had an advantage skill-wise over the other team, but it's not to say it was a HUGE difference. The skill difference between your 2 teams were only 1-2 skill levels apart at most. And you gave up some of that advantage with TIE. And the other guy had home advantage, which resulted in a further boosts for him. End result, you just about edged it. And if I may hazard a guess, did you TIE with enthusiasm 5-8?

On a side note, I did hit enthusiasm 15 before from 11. It was a high 11, nearing 12 so a 33% boosts gave me just under 4 enthusiasm which pushed my enthusiasm to a low 15.

Yea but I believe in these levels, around 3 levels in my IS vs. their ID is not negligible. I cant understand why my inside guys acted like complete idiots in terms of scoring. I thought TIE just gives a disadvantage to defense and rebounding but I was wrong I guess. In a normal vs. normal I would have around 40 points edge easily.

Although I just want to win my tournament game, that's why I TIEd lol. TIE is scary for sure.

See, I was checking your games and saw this one (6009508)
I would expect a pretty good difference but you won by 11, that's just really scary looking at those ratings. I think TIE creates a complete difference compared to normal play.

I find that TIE is especially scary if you're at normal enthusiasm level of 5. Once you get to around 10 or so the effect isn't too bad. I find that if you're at enthusiasm 5 and don't have a really huge gap against the team you're TIE-ing, don't expect to win easy.

In that game the difference between me and the other team was there. But with me TIE-ing, the other team made up some of the difference from the outside. I had really bad outside defence and they sunk quite a number of 3 pointers to bring the scoreline closer. Had I put in a better outside defence lineup, the difference would be bigger.

My Enthusiasm went up from 11-14. So after all, i guess you´re pretty right with your suggestions. Thanx!

Another short question:
Did you ever play a game with enthusiasm of 12 or higher? Just wondering, because it falls that fast!

it is possible when playing BB best and cup, when you have some matches one straight after other. about 12 maybe it is possible to have while still playing in cup (I can admit reached 11 once this season). but you have to consider, that you will have to play TIE about half or more season every match and stay in cup

My highest going into a game was around 14-15 if I remember correctly. Tuesday league, Wednesday BB Best,Thursday Cup. Went into Tuesdays game with enthusiasm 9-10, TIE-ed all the games (I knew I was going to lose my B3 game) and went into my Cup game with enthusiasm 14-15. Too bad it was against a bot.

I will have ent. of 6 in my next game. If I CT, I will end up with 3. Then the next gama (league) will it be 4? How would I get affected in my next game(s) after CTing with ent. of 6?

We can't be sure if your enthusiasm will be up to 4 for the next game, but there is a good chance it will.

After CT-ing you'll be playing with enthusiasm 3-4 in the next game. Assuming both of you normal, it would be almost as if you TIE-ed the match.

Do we know anything about the effects of enthusiasm on playing levels?

For example, we think you get a 50% reduction in Enthusiasm after CT but does this equate to a 50% boost in playing level? If I have a level 10 Inside Defender will he play like a level 15 Inside Defender?
