Nah, it's not a percentage. If so then there is no real reason to CT in the first place. I'd gladly maintain a 11 enthusiasm for a game or 2 instead of using a CT just reducing it to 5 again. That would be pointless.

I have heard from somebody that his enthusiasm dropped from 8 to 3 playing CT in one game. If he hasnt made a mistake, then I would assume it is a percentage based drop...

Probably the same as going TIE. It will reverse back to it's minimal cap of 1.

If it's a percentage. Why would you ever take it easy. You could just crunch time at 5 whenever you need to.
Same goes for whenever you took it easy. You get a enthusiasm of 10. Why would you sacrifice 6 points for one game if you can just milk it out till 5 for 3 games.

oh well, we'll probably know when the playoffs are over. Every will have at least taken a CT with an high enthusiasm.

Of course not.

Playing CT with enthu of 10 will give way better ratings than playing CT with enthu of 5. That's why you try to get it as high as possible.

+ When you CT with 5 you need 2 TIE's to come back at the default level, which means that you play 2 games with a lower enthu than normal, when you CT with 10 you end up around 6 or 5 where you still have a higher enthusiasm than the default level.

And when you have a high enthusiasm you can play normal and get huge ratings, playing normal with enthu of 9 or 10 must be better than playing CT with 5. Then after the game you still got 9 or 10 enthu whichs drops to 7 or 8 to the next game, 1 TIE and you are back on top.

Like i said. I'd rather play 3 games with 10 - 8 - 6 enthusiasm than one where i use it all.

+ I said why would you TIE in the first place. TIE is a bit of a gamble for most teams. Now it's relatively easy to TIE against bots. Why would anyone gamble on 4-5 games just to CT on one team. I'd rather play normal where i know that i can win the 4-5 games and one loss against the good team. Rather than maybe 3-4 out of 5 losses and one win sure win against a good team.

CT at 10 takes 4-5 games. CT at 5 enthusiasm takes 2 games. With TIE-ing twice with CT at 5, you'll end up with a higher enthusiasm than default as well. Unless you CT twice with a CT-10, You'd end up with 2 wins and 6-7 games recover/preparing.

Never denied that CT-10 would get you better ratings, but the costs/risks are far greater with a CT-10 than a CT-5. Hence i prefer a CT-5 over a CT-10 if CT indeed reduces your enthusiasm by 50%+. Any lower than 40% is fine by me though.

plays TIE --> game ent = 4,44 - after the game = 8,88
plays TIE --> game ent = 5,92 - after the game = 11,84

It will never go from 4 to 9 or 6 to 12.. and it surely drops before next game.

He made an example, those are not hard numbers.

My bad then, sorry.

u misinterpreted those numbers

plays TIE --> game ent = 4,44 - after the game = 8,88
plays TIE --> game ent = 5,92 - after the game = 11,84

before the game the enthu is 8,88. The team playe TIE so the author guesses the team is only playing with an enthu compared to 5.92. After the game the ent incrased to 11,84. So the enthu incrased from 8,88 to 11,84

btw. it still seems to be a lot...
