Thanks. So i am taking from that that stars give no bonuses of any sort, have no effect on any game systems, and so levels give no bonus to anything at all. Stars just tell you how good the player is relative to your level, and level is just a way of measuring how far you have come. Apart from that they mean diddly squat?

Interesting. So, do people play to try and reach the highest level? If you start now, is that even possible, given how high the top level is? I am presuming the top level is 88, as i think it is season 88 now - how would you ever catch up to the teams there when you can only go up 1 level a season and half of those at the top are also gaining one level a season? Just trying to figure out what my long term goals should realisitically be if I got into this game seriously.
