play a game against a team that is lower than I and get beaten 14-3
Then buy 3 more players that are at least 8 stars better than original players including QB - beaten 22-7
Train the players and then kit them back to 100 - beaten 34-7
All against the same team
What the f. explain please because this is complete BS !!!!

Never auto-train. Put your points manually where they need to be. Star ratings mean nothing. Many timed have beaten players two to three times my star rating.

If you need more help, a few of us veteran players started a guild a very short time ago called Angels of Death. We are here to help new players as it can be quite frustrating. If you have a guild building, comes at level 7 stadium, just click on that, and hit top guilds. Think we are around 300, mut growing and helping others.

Star ratings show how much the potential high-end stat is. There are teams with a very low average stat because they keep unused low point players to keep the average down, but you end up playing a team that in reality is much higher rated than you are.

Jason is entirely correct about never using auto-train. (although players that are just starting out do not have the option because the "tutorial" won't let you train longer than 15 minutes or let you assign points yourself (and thereby teaches new players VERY bad habits).
