Are you sure about this ? Do you have some information that you can point me to that says this ? Thank you


Ok, for the effect of enthusiasm:
That enthusiasm and Home Court Advantage helps your defense and your rebounds I gathered from the 'coach parrot'-tool. There is a thread in BB Global containing the links and all. It seems like HCA and enthusiasm work the same way, I think this is the reason why National Team Games and All-Star Games tend to be high-scoring games (as they are played on neutral ground and nobody receives a defensive boost).

The effect of attitude is more difficult:
I was speaking mainly from experience here. I remember a thread in the help forum where people claimed that CT or TiE affect your FG percentage. I couldn't find it as the help forum is one big graveyard. What I found however was a post from GM-kozlodoev (36151.27) and he stated in his second comment that 'more things will go in your favor' (when playing with a higher attitude). So it would not only affect the field goal percentage, but also blocks, steals and so on.
Plus I realise that many people are complaining about their lost games in this very thread when they played with a lower attitude than their opponents. In my opinion this stems from the 'invisibility' of attitude in the team ratings.

That's all I can provide as a proof of what I said. It's only my opinion and so I wrote it were just my two cents ;)

Cheers, Exos

about the shooting %, I'm not sure. I just took a look at my games and saw that I do between 40% and 50% FG
and it's all with Take It Easy. Following that logic I would have had 55-60% with normal and crunch...

Thank you for taking the time to reply and explain. I am going to look through my own games and do an analysis of TIE vs Normal, I too do not CT anymore except in the playoffs. Learned that the hard way in my first season. I have been using Joseph's Ka's spreadsheet and I do notice the change in different enthusiasm levels of course but I was just not sure that using TIE with high levels of enthusiasm actually relatively decreased your JS, blocks and steal percentages. What I have noticed is that TIEing with enthusiasm of 8 is roughly equal to playing with normal 5 in the results I see from my own games. Anything above 8 is a real benefit and can make a big difference. I am sure there is a break even point where your enthusiasm is high enough to make up and surpass any reduction from using TIE. Again thanks for your reply and I will do a very small sample of my own games and if I find anything contradictory I will repost.

I think the GE just picked a winner out of a hat and decided to make the most ridiculous way of beating me. I was simply too good for them all around for them to beat me outright so it just makes me inexplicably turn the ball over against a Man to Man defense. My SF and SG who commit no more than 2 TOs per game both reach season highs with 6 and 7. They also somehow barely beat me on the offensive glass despite me being superior in that aspect, however I don't care about that as much as the random turnovers. This is the first game I've had where I really cannot explain why this happened.

I can.

Rule nº 1 of this new game engine:

Don't play inside if you don't have offensive flow.

and my team obviously confront your statement I have never had offensive flow, but I can win against lots of teams (same strength as my team) playing inside.

Not only that but that rule only really applies when you have terrible guards vs a overwhelming perimeter defense. This was not nearly the case. They were a meager inept(high) in perimeter defense. My guys have been playing against better defenses all season, yet now they are commiting extremely high turnover numbers? Complete BS.
