Hey Mr. Burger Chief Sir...I don't agree it should be random or done away with. But I do think that it should be tied to winning/losing more than anything. Maybe teams should have ratings, if a lower rated team wins, their enthusiasm goes up. If you win a big road game, your enthusiasm goes up.

and what is that bonus given? Do you know for sure it does nothing else besides this?

"Hey players of mine. This is coach. Seeing that we played CT last game and we still lost, we only have the option of level 2 today. But since the other team is better and has been sitting on TIE all year we are up against a level 12 tonight...well we are sure to lose. Zero % chance of winning. Sure...what our players are going to score is fairly unknown, and what they will rebound ...that is unknown too. What i do know is you are strictly at a level 2 tonight..and he is at a level 12. Good luck boys."

da...da....da......wait for it GM K........DUMB!

You dont know exactly this, but you know the exact number of enthusiasm? Seems kind of odd now doesn't it?

I am not saying this way is great..or good..or decent...I am mainly saying the current way needs to go. It is a Republican (ha!) way to do this. The rich get richer. The strong teams dont want change as much as the lower teams do (if you read through the many forum posting on this subject).

This adds in quite nicely to good teams hardly ever dropping down. Aren't teams supposed to have ups and downs. 5-6 years good....then rebuild, etc?

Big teams win...they make more money..they always have better players...they never fall.

I am ALL for that! No doubt. But to make enthusiasm favor them as well? That has got to go.

Hey man. I have played one season, I won my league. I draft...I train..and I am setting up for the future. Love how you pick and choose what you want to attack though.

My examples are examples to spark comments and hopefully change. Why "Vastly" because you say so? Wouldn't a slightly better way ..be better? HAHAHAHAHA. Wow.I understand change would take a long time and incorporates a lot of things. Sounds like you are just afraid of change?

Yes...teams are supposed to have ups and downs. It happens in every sport, in every country, in every single level.

What does enthusiasm have to do with good teams? Ok...maybe I should be talking with someone else at this point. Because you have clearly missed the boat on this one Super Chief.

Thank you for this response. That is what I wanted. I do understand what you are saying, I just don't agree with some of them.

I admitted, I hadn't thought it through all the way..didn't I? Very first line of this thread. You throw ideas around...and it sparks more and most of the time, better ideas.

About managers having a clue. Once you are at the top...you dont have to have as much of a clue to stay there. That is a flaw. Sort of like..once you are in..you are in. Someday..I will be there...5-6-7 years? sure..I understand that. I don't get frustrated with not having instant gratification. Nothing to do with me personally anyway...so please keep it that way.

I knew my idea wasn't good...I know that. The main point is the current one is not good either, and just wanted to throw some stuff out there to spring board. I even said in the first post "Example...not to be taken literally."

Offering some ideas is better than moaning with no ideas. But you are on me because my ideas happen to not work. Ok fine. I get it...But you get my point....the current system does not work. So thank you.

I guess the fact people talk about it means it is pretty good. When there is controversy ...usually means it is "give or take a few" right?

Thanks again for the thought out response. That is all I ask for from a GM. I can get BS from anyone.
