My opinion on the enthusiasm thing is that it should be a rating for individual players, rather then the entire team. Some players play at a high level of intensity throughout the season, whereas others only step it up in the playoffs. Also, there are players that just don't try, at all. Having a high enthusiasm level for the entire team basically means that the entire team will play at the level of say, Kevin Garnett - who puts in his all every single night. Not many players do that, I think it's ridiculous for enthusiasm to be a team rating.

One of the attractions Buzzerbeater has for me is creating fictional justifications for the statistical / numerical reality. With regards to enthusiasm, I can come up with all sorts of scenarios to justify / explain the current system. A change that I could see that would reflect my experience would be to modify the enthusiasm to adjust for winning streaks, a small change, perhaps one point for every three or four games won in a row. But I can easily live with what we have now.

I think the small change to have the outcome of the game would be a good change. As I said before, if you TIE and win it works like it does today, but if you TIE and lose, then you get only half the gain in enthusiasm. I think this would deter teams from TIE all the time.
