General question if anyone knows the answer:
I currently have a team in Novice level and I'd like to keep them there. When my avg. star rating went up from 1.5 to 2, it auto promoted me from rookie to novice.
Does anyone know if going from 2 star avg. to 2.5 star average gets you auto-promoted out of Novice? I want to know whether to add a player or two but they will put me up to 2.5.

I was auto-promoted recently to superstar and I received my rewards.
Auto promotion is so lame.....but it wouldn't be so bad if we knew it was coming. Unfortunately Glu is like alot of companies with poor customer satisfaction reputations in that they don't realize that the thing that makes people the most upset is not that "bad" or unexpected things happen to them, its when they are blindsided or not made aware as to why the bad/unexpected event happened.
The reason being of course so Glu can change the rules anytime they wish!
Yes it will get you autpromoted.
My first number 1 pick I opened was a 5 star Ryan Braun, so I kinda got really lucky. I keep them under since the team becomes 2.5 star average when your team has a total of 55 stars across all positions (including bench). As long as you keep it under that you should stay in novice for a significant period of time. At a certain points the number of wins will eventually autopromote you, but it takes a fairly long time for that to happen.
I do yeah. This is a hitters game my man. Pitchers don't win games in tap, they just lose them.
To account for this I have put significantly more effort into my pitching upgrades, with 12/11 on pcoach and calling, and like 7/6 on hitting/power
Thanks,
This one is a fairly difficult question, as between these 3 really come down to personal preference. That being said, I am a power guy time and time again. Personally I add up hitting and power (speed is for pussies) and take whoever has the highest number. Especially in novice i find 9 power to be extremely effect. However, to use high power low hitting guys to their full potential you have to play alot of games and be extremely patient at the plate. If that isnt you I would go 6/6, you'll get decent value and have a strong hitter.
I put HUGE stock in switch hitters. My Teixera is still batting at DH despite numerous players with better stats because I love the switch hitting so much. Its one of the few ways to gain a massive advantage in a game that is primarily RNG (or luck) based. That being said, Solarte is sitting on my smurf bench because I have David Freese who is 5/6 with 3 stars and it helps keep my under that 2 star limit.
Good to know, thanks. Yeah that has been my philosophy as well. Using switch hitters even if their ranking is 1 or two less than a pure right handed or left handed batter. Freese- ah I have not thought of doing that. Basically you have Solarte as inactive and perhaps give up a little more production to keep you at a lower star rating. Got it, thanks!!
BTW- I had a switch hitting Catcher Swigert (3 star)? that was a 6-2-? and he hit .311 with a decent OPS. I finally dropped him from roster, but he was solid from both sides of the plate. I have Grandal (C) 4-9-2, but he is a .225 hitter from both sides.
What is the advantage of not moving up a level?
