i find 3* is crap, its very odd playing on that. i got used to some of the moves on 2* and moved right up to 4*.
I started a new ML with Chelsea and are building the real team, I'm about 90% done building the team in my second season and just made it to the first division. So far 2-0 with wins over West Ham and Celtic.
Give it a whirl and see what level plays more fun for you. I might try some 5* games and see how those go as well.
