the previous poster is right, but i think of it like this (and its just my opinion based on my experience and simplified to get across what i want to say).

I find that playing a TIE at enthusiasm 9/10 could give a similar team performance to playing a normal at enthusiasm 5.
Playing a normal at enthusiasm 9/10 could be similar to playing a CT at enthusiasm 5.

Of course to build up your enthusiasm you have to play TIE a few times
I dont know what a TIE at 5 enthusiasm is - perhaps a bit like a normal at enthusiasm 3 or 4?
and a CT at enthusiasm 5 is perhaps like a normal at 8 or 9 enthusiasm.

But if you CT at 5 enthusiasm bear in mind your following games will be TIE/Normal/CT at enthusiasm 2 or 3 which would be really bad compared to anything you do at enthusiasm 5!

hope i havent confused you (and the rest of the world) but believe me when i say enthusiasm management is very important and can be very effective when used properly. As is gameshape and tactical choice - all these things can turn an ordinary team into a great team in your league over the course of a season.

I agree with you, it's something like that. But I think you would agree we can't figure out the percentage like the original poster wanted :)))

+1 ball for good ent explanation

thanks.

something else that might be helpful is that i reckon playing one more effort level than your opponent (if they on similar enthusiasm to you) could turn a game that you would otherwise lose by 10-20 points to one that looks a lot more level (say within 5 points) by the end of the game. obviously when things get close at the end of the game anything can happen with free throws, fouls etc.

its not a % but with experience you can normally call the difference between you and your opponent with some scouting and educated guesses.
