My old team got way overpromoted to the point where I can't compete. I decided to start over with a new team and intentionally not get promoted as people have suggested on here. I was just wondering: Is there any way to see your teams avg. star rating without being in a club? I know having too high of a star rating can get you auto-promoted and wanted to be able to check. Or should I just get promoted to Novice and join a club? I've been staying in rookie just to totally maximize the amount of time before any promotions.
Also, when people say start over and only buy upgrades, do you still get some slightly better players in order to win more games? I'm still trying to win some rewards and my original team was pretty terrible. From random picks I got for rewards, I managed to add 3.5 star bagwell, 3.5 star longoria and a couple 2 star pitchers without getting auto-promoted yet, is this a reasonable strategy?

For me I like to try to get a few unbelievable hitters, keep my pitchers around 1-2 stars and upgrade that primarily. I got very lucky to get 5 star Ryan Braun on my novice account, he absolutely destroys in that division.
For knowing your average star rating, you could just count. The game counts 22 players on your roster (including your bench). So anything between 33-44 stars gives you a 1.5 star ratings, 44-55 gives you 2 stars, etc.
How would that guy being in that low of a div. with those studs?
Upgrades upgrades upgrades, it will only get easier as long as you don't get promoted
Since when?
That seems unlikely, since i have over level 10 on almost everything on an account I have that is still in novice.
Maybe at higher levels, but so long as you keep it under a certain star ratings I am almost positive you won't ever get promoted.
I have almost 500 wins, idk maybe eventually it will happen? Seems like it already would have by now.
I've heard that leagues are based on upgrade level, I'm not sure how accurate that is but it seems likely from the competition I've seen in 1.5K leagues
I've always found more appeal in trying to become "the big shark" out of big sharks rather than a big shark in a pond full of tadpoles.
To each of its own though. Maybe if anything, I'd start a second account and see how much I can "play the system" by dominating novice by having a mixture of prime players and 1* players with nothing in between, but I figure that method will eventually backfire anyways when you do get auto promoted 3 levels and all of a sudden, you're back in the rat race of trying to catch up to your competition.
I bought a few upgrades and got promoted as well.
I did something similar.. New team got lucky with some picks and now my new team is set up a lot better than my main team.
If I ever got a second device I could play on regularly, maybe I'd give it a try. My fear would be that I would eventually get auto promoted up 3 levels higher and be right back where I was on my main account. Seems like at a certain point, you would be fearful of adding any other primes or legends to your team with the thought that you would instantly be auto promoted and lose the advantage.
I guess any new primes/legends you do acquire you'd just have to keep in your reserve roster to avoid getting auto promoted
I would prefer playing at the same time though.
I wish i knew when to stop upgrading then.
