I'm so confused. How do I prefrom WORSE against Londo (who has a lower defensive rating by Far than Dawgs) when I CT them and TIE the Dawgs? Then I lost by 20 points...*sigh*

Just an opinion, but I think your Offensive Flow skill level directily effects how well the Patient offensive tactic works. I've always believed the Patient tactic is one of the harder ones to use. Too many things can go wrong if your Offensive Flow is a little low.

Sometimes you have to play around with the different strategies to find which one best fits your squad.

I'm aware of the offensive flow effects. But why tell me, would my flow being the same make the rest of them lower? My effort was bumped two levels and my Enthusiasm was still up after the TIE from Dawgs

So what?

You can assume that effort and enthusiasm will have a greater effect on the game than tactics and skill level, all you want. It won't make it a fact. In my opinion, you answered your own question. In fact, I think you showed just how important Effort and Enthusiasm are in this game - minimal to none!

What was the other thing you wanted me to "why tell" you? "... the rest of them lower?" Using a pronoun assumes I know what "them" are. Try to be a little more discriptive.

Home vs. away probably had some contributing effect. Not saying it's the whole explanation, but it's a factor. I don't have much idea about the CT effects because I hardly ever do it.

I could not disagree more . . .. I believe enthusiasm is HUGE. Effort is the key was to manage enthusiasm . . . therefore effort is huge as well. I TIE almost all of my games . . . and consistently have enthusiasm ratings of 11/12 on Tuesday and 12/13 on Saturday. If I am playing a team with similar talent (at ANY position, let alone overall), that enthusiasm advantage has absolutely been the difference maker. In the playoffs, the combination of HCA and high enthusiasm is massive to overcome.

Kaile - I will take a closer look tonight. . . but one possible reason could be the talent level he played in the game. Most of my top players were on the bench or reserves (which is why I pulled away at the end - the coach thought we had a lead, so he put the 'backups' in . . . but those were really my starters at 3 positions.) I was managing minutes because of my Cup game, so I was brining over 100K in salary off the bench.

To clear this up. My question was rhetorical.

For those who wonder the enthusiams/home / away. Look at previous match history and you'll see. I simply performed worse. To say it's because his team is simply that good etc. Well his OFFENSE was sure..his defense was similiar to other opponents.

My post was only frustration, not ignorance. I know that I was away. That my enthusiasm awas 1 point lower. Just me kicking myself because I went against one of my rules and had to pay for it.

And if you're playing a team with either superior skills or tactics, how "HUGE" is the enthusiam effect, in your experience?
Just showing I can play the rhetorical/sarcastic question game, too.
