What Team Spirit Affects
Midfield ratings are affected by several factors. One of these factors is team spirit. The higher the team spirit, the better the midfield performs. And conversely, if team spirit is low, midfield ratings will lower. A successful Hattrick manager will regulate his/her team spirit to get the best results for the team, as midfield is a very important factor in many match.
In real life football the atmosphere around a team is of great influence on its performance. If there is bad management or an incompetent coach this will have a negative effect on the way players feel and act on the pitch. In Hattrick this effect is represented by the Team Spirit.
The Team Spirit has a direct effect on the strength of a team's midfield. The actual midfield strength based on players abilities is increased or decreased according to the Team Spirit. The midfield strength of both teams determines possesion, which in turn determines the distribution of normal chances during a game.
At the start of each season, the Team Spirit(=TS) is reset to a default level; composed (mid). From there on PIC/MOTS and TS Hits can move your TS away from composed (mid). But when it leaves that position, it will always move back towards composed (mid). The higher the leadership factor of your coach, the faster it will rise or the slower it will fall back towards composded (mid). The agreeability of the team leader alledgedly also has an influence on the team spirit. Teamleaders with popular or nasty agreeability have the highest possible influence. This influence has never been observed, so this influence is extremely small at best.
