My team achieved nine star status today. Now beguins the quest for that tenth star with an ST team. Anyone know approximately how many ST teams make it percentage wise. In reality I'm much more interested in winning PL games than in stars, but I've gathered that ten stars means you have efficiently trained your team and so it's as good as it can get. True?

Congrats! I don't think I could do that with an ST team. Zachery is the ST master these days, as he has his team consistantly at 10* and in PL1.

And yes, 10* is the tops in skill level. However, that would NOT necessarily mean that they are as good as they can get. Positioning of players, having the right pitchers, and an optimal batting order very much come into play as to how well your team plays.

Good job, and good luck! Wink

I also send Congrats to you. I have three 9* ST teams. I'm a cheapo . But like you said it's all about the PLs. You will go just as far as a 9* then as a 10*. There are more 9* in PL1 then 10*. Keep practicing and have a lot of patience. Be prepared for a lot of bottom of the ninth with two outs losses. Ouch! It hurts just thinking about them. Crying or Very sad

Thanks for the input everyone. I just noticed that my team has slipped back to 8*, that was short lived, lol.

That'll happen for a little while (about a week or two), don't worry though, they should be pretty solid after all that bumping back and forth. Great accomplishment for ST, few do it, and even fewer have success that way. Best of luck to you.
