At playoffs you only can play:

-Normal attitude (effects as TIE enthusiasm)

-Crunch Time attitude (effects as Normal enthusiasm)

You have to think that Conference Semifinals and Conference Final are one single match at your rival court if their record is better than yours. Only the League Final is played at 3 matches. Then if you play Crunch time two consecutive matches your enthusiasm will stay as the original before playing this matches.

Hi! I received my team at the moment when our country(Belarus) appeared in BB-world.. It was 1 year ago. And I received a team in I.1 =)
My first season was very difficult, as I could use only my mobile-phone with limited traffic. I had some thoughts to leave the game... the thing that I liked was few persons, that I had known before from Hattrick, and also the match-viewer that was rather unusual for me.. the first season was disgusting.. I got the 7 place and was kicked to the league2. But there was one good thing.. At that draft I received a super-player, that many teams will never get.. But I was stupid.. and lost some weeks of training. But thanks to Josef-Ka! He helped to all our community. And also helped me. Some advices from him and some visits to forums and I found out myself ar the 1st place in div.2 I lost play-off because of a little monster (185804).. It was nice to see the progress of my super-player that got to U-21 at his 18(our country is very young). Thanks to Josef, our NT U-21 started to win! and this encouraged our community!! Next season was an easy one. I could concentrate at the cup matches.. and I got into the final, where I lost to whom? yeah.. It was my rival fiorentina(185804)
I couldn't win him and that made me mad!! The other thing that made me mad was the second loss in the cup final!!

last season I was a very mad BB team, that wished to win everybody and everything!!
and I've done it!! I won the league, I won the cup, I won the 2 main rivals: (185783) (185804)
I was happy. but that thing was not my great happiness until now. No, I've lost the cup, I've lost the league(I suppose) as I changed training type and decided to put some money in the bank =)

the great happiness is http://buzzerbeater.com/country/85/jnt/overview.aspx
and this (6901305)
this are the things that encourage me at the moment!! Special thanks to Josef_Ka! He might be the best manager and tactics-master in all BB-world!!! increadable achievement! Just look: http://buzzerbeater.com/world/standings.aspx?teamid=1085

GM-Edit: I removed the boldfacing, it was just too much. ;-)

i started in 2nd season, in Lithuanian league, although i am from Latvia. and later i didnt wanted to start from scratch, so i stayed in Lithuanian league.
i started in League I, but after very unexpected loss in playoffs in season 4, i quit game for some time, so i was relegate to league III. in last part of season 5, i decided to play again and started to rebuild my team. but great economic times were over, so i had not much money. i got to league II back, got in playoffs both seasons, but last season i did everything like previous 2 seasons, but everything happened upside down, so i got relegated. but now i have great chance to get back again to league II.
in cup i have 2 good seasons, this and one earlier, when i got in quarterfinals.
all-star games usually are pretty ell represented by my team, have few scoring titles, MVP, 3pt contest winners, all-star voting leaders...

I have started since the middle of season 6. That half year was lost for me couz i didnt knew anything about training. Next season Steve Makis has approached me asking me about my young big men, and then we started to chat on the MSN countless hours about the game, and finally i figured out how to train. At the end of the season i was on the finals who i lost, but i advanced to CBBA couz of the bot teams, and i had the most wins compared to the other II teams.

Next season my goal was to be on the play offs, and finally to win my rival the team that ive lost on the previous season finals, and of course to develop my young nucleus. That time Thecippis got elected as Cyprus U21 coach so happily i got an other experienced person to get advices. By the end of that season i had a very good crop of big men and my team where on a good position. That time Steve told me that the next season my team will be the team with the most progress and i answered him ''NO WAY''. Season 9 started, and i was 4rth on my division, and just b4 the play offs, ive bought my leader (2396939) Leberecht. My 1st play off game was against Cerci, the team that won all the Cypriot championships until that time. I won that game at the end with 2 FT's from Gagalatos (6895165). Those where the 2 most important FT's of the team history, and thats why he has been elected as a HOF. That memorable play u can see it here: http://www.buzzerbeater.org/match/15199080/reportmatch.as.... Also Karalikos (6470627) was the MVP of CBBA. The rest games where relative easy so i crowned as just the 2nd Cyprus champion.

This season we have already won the national tournament, and we have a very good chance to repeat our run to the title.

By the time the team has produced 4 NT players, and we have the honor to own the best 20 y/o Cypriot player, and next leader of the U21. (8238715) Yiannakakos.

I think that considering the time that i am playing i did the best that i could. Cypriot community its small, u cant take anything from that. Lots of team where ahead of me and they failed.

I think that i can call it a success story

In this Season, I'll play Cup' Semifinal and I'm in the Third Place in my Conference, reaching the PO's. Too, we have two players in the NT. This is a large history of success!!!

I started out in season 8 with a 4-12 team in division V(talk about lowest of the low). It have already used to different users on that team in the season. I unloaded half my team(sacked and transfer) without knowing what the player potential meant. What I know now, I think it would have been a good idea to have kept a couple of them. Then I used $150,000 and won my first free agent. That free agent(Gan Dejia) scored 67 points in my first game ever on buzzerbeater and that resulted in a win. After that I lose all but one of the rest of the games. The next season I won the league title. And to this day, that free agent is still on my team and will be the first one inducted into my hall of fame(he needs two games to be qualified).

oh but i might get the home court advantage at the conference semifinals.

btw can you explain to that enthusiasm thing, how to raise it what is the max enthusiasm?

What is "tie enthusiasm?

thanks soory for my bad english.

Enthusiasm usually tends to 5:
if you play normal it stays as it was but tending to five; if it was at 7 before, after the match it ´ll be 7 but decreasing to the next match, when it ´ll be probably at 6.
if you play crunch time it decreases 50% but tending to five; if it was 7 before, after the match it´ll be 3.75=4 but tending to 5 to the next match.
if you play TIE(Take It Easy, relax) it increases 33% tending to five; if it was at 7 before, after the match it´ll be at 9.31=9 but tending to 5 it ´ll probably at 8.

The way to increase enthusiasm is playing TIE several matches, mine one is 11, i think that there is a limit, but i don´t know exactly, it could be 13 or even more.
You can looak at the rules the enthusiasm section.
Best regards.
