I personally like the options to TIE, Normal, or crunch but you do raise a great point in.. " So play every game lade back and then you will be in a great moral state ??"
I would like to see losing and winning affect the outcome on enthusiasm. For example, If you win with TIE, enthusiasm increases 2 (arbitrary), If you win on normal, enthusiasm gravitates toward 7 (arbitrary). If you lose, with TIE, no change or possible decrease for enthusiasm. That would provide more incentive for winning streaks and strategic runs.
