Good deal.

Were any more changes introduced before today's finals ?

I started with 3 enthusiasm, played TIE, and I'm at 4 after the game. I feel like closing BB and never opening it again right now.

What's the problem?

Also from my side I don't see the problem. Enthusiasm 3 is one of the worst level I've seen, CT is reducing by 50% your enthusiasm, TIE is giving you the 30% more, so no problem here.

One point that should be discussed is when introduce the "big" engine changes; this time happened at the end of the season and this changed completely the strategy I had for one complete season. I agree to change in any moment the rules about injuries and economy but a change in the game engine (enthusiasm, home or away match, CT and TIE influence) it could be better to be done at the beginning of a season not at the end.
Now I've understood better the new engine, I hope to not find a surprise at the end of next season The work of BBs is really apprechiate as the prompt answers when the comunity makes some proposal, this is the best internet game I've played till now ;)

I wasn't criticizing in any way or form the work of the BBs, it's just that frome experience and talking to others, I was very sure that TIEing from 2 or 3 enthusiasm would bring me back to 5 (that's what happend every single time in the examples I've read on our french forum). And that was just another example of my "bad luck" in the end of season, TIEing 6 times in a row brought me to 9 only before the PO, my best player injured two weeks, and the shittiest draft list ever (two 5 stars over 29 players scouted). Sometimes the random aspect of the game seems to be working against me ;)

(4097603) I played in my SF game Normal, my oponent played CT I had Enthusiasm 8, he had aprox 5, I had Home court adventage, I had better players and all my playes had good game shape (better than his),I had better team ratings, only the tactics I could choose other option....I had everything to win playing normal but I lost..............what to do? Build up Enthusiasm before play offs and then just CT all games? I am first in my league...how can I get promoted if my players starting to do fouls at the end of the game and then miss lots of shots which they did easily 3 min ago....???? anyway has a team which is -5p at the end of the game ever won taking fouls at the end of the game.....(game engine....)......No More CT or TIE!!!!! let the best team win with best players and best tactics during all the season, otherwise there is no sense to build un Enthusisasm during all season and lose sily games if you just can one time CT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Write some normal Rules finaly......The game is good and I like it very much....but I dont want to play in blind enymore.....and rely on random or mystic TIE CT or mystic rules......

This is no bad luck at all, this is just a lack of knowledge about the TIE/CT system.

TIE will raise your enthusiasm with about 30-35%. Let's say you started with 3.0 and TIE is 33% extra enthusiasm, 3.0 + 1.0 = 4.0, just simple math.

2 or 3 back to 5 would mean an increase of about 200%, that would be crazy, you would jump from 5 enthusiasm to 10 then, and from 8 to 16, that would be fun!

"Don't blame the game! Blame the french!"

(oh that's truly one of my best oneliners ever)

Look at my last comment and my SF Game....

You did give up more turnovers due to his FCP, and for whatever reason you fouled a lot more giving him more easy pts at the FT line (16-23 ft's is a pretty good 70%)

Unfortunately, a bad time for a key player to be injured and have foul trouble, nothing you can really do anything about. Looking back you prob should have CT'd, but again can't blame you for going normal considering the situation. I did the same in a SF, got CT'd, and just lucked out a 2 pt OT win. It almost appears that after the ASG adjustments CT became more powerful.
