From my point of view this changes give more chances in playoffs to stronger teams, so this season we'll see less "surprises" in playoffs

In general terms i like it since it favors well managed teams which keep enthusiasm high.
until now you worked all the season to raise enthusiasm and all were lost in a single CT match, with the handicap that if you played normal against a weaker team that played CT you were more likely to lose than win.

Unfortunately, for the first time, mine is not the strongest team in mi league, so, just for this season i would have liked the old russian roulette ;-)

well it still depends on how teams are managed,

but true strong teams tend to TIE a lot which also make them win.

so playoffs time is like " slaughter time"

Yes it's like that.

In important games as the playoffs or the semi-finals and finals of the national tournament there will be only 2 option to choose, as Damena said.
You can only pick "Playoff Normal" and "Playoff Crunch Time".

And indeed, if you start with enthusiasm 7 and you play "Playoff Crunch Time" your enthusiasm will stay at 7 untill it drops due to daily updates. If you play 'Playoff Normal" then your enthusiasm will increase just like you play TIE in the regular season.

I may have misunderstood the messages from the BBs back then, but I think I remember reading that the first game of the play-offs won't be using the new settings, anyone else remember the same thing ?
