True.....it was a bit incorrect. The effects on the game is like CT and on Enthusiasm as Normal. So, I guess my point was that were the best teams previously would not CT because of Enthusiasm effect the they will not take a Enthusiasm hit this season if they use POCT.

Yeah true. The underdog will have a way smaller chance in winning this season, compared to last season. The tactical options are more limited, so the level of your players is more important. We'll see less surprises this season, unfortunately.

Hehe, this is good new I think, but it will be confusing for a few.

Slightly OT:
Btw, for someone like me who has still to use CT it would be interesting to know how many TIE it does take to recover from a CT, even though it is not relevant for this playoff. (Suppose you CT at enthusiasm 10, and want to come back to that level)

I think that would take about 4 games. Enthusiasm at 10 with CT will go down to 5 or something, then it takes 3 or 4 games to get back to 10 I guess.

But it's all percentage wise, CTing at 5 will only take about 2 games to get back to 5.

But it's hard to give exact numbers, since the amount of updates between the games will count as well.

CT lowers the enthusiasm by 50%, TIE raises it by 33%, do your own math
Is this in the rules or is it known by experince? (As said I have never played CT, and if it is in the rules I must have missed it...)

Anyway one must take into consideration the changes between matches laso to get a correct calculation, but thi is not too complicated.

Ok, I'll see if I come to a situation next year when it makes sense to me to confirm it. This far i never had any real reason to use it during rengular season, and in the playoffs I wont see the effect anyway.

You will hardly find opportunities to use it during regular season. Certainly not at the League (unless you have a really favorable schedule, such as playing 1st in the league, then 8th and 7th in a row or something, but then again, if you need CT to beat 1st place you might not be able to beat 8th at TIE with low enthusiasm). The POCT and PON pretty much ended with the possibility of CT. Specially because right now, getting into playoffs with high enthusiasm is HUGE, so you will hardly see anyone with a chance at making it into the playoff CT at the last 5 or 6 games or so...
I'm not saying it was a bad decision or anything, just stating the situation.

Yes, I know, but I still would be interested in getting the opportunity of trying it out, but as you say finding that opportunity is not easy.

(In general I thing the whole enthusiasm thing is a quite clumpsy feature, that should be removed and replaced by some smarter tactical tools)
