If you want to take the extra challenge it is there. I am positive that somewhere down the road I may regret not grabbing every star I could have...but if I miss some they are still there, set to the same difficulty long after my team has improved.
For some the challenges, earning stars will result in a reduction of time spent. I needed to get a solid qb for solo grinding, so I grabbed every star I could get for the Baker Mayfield grind. The player that Deacon would be replacing with on my theme team is just as good as Deacon now that I have 25/50, so I am comfortable leaving those stars on the table with the solos still available should I see the need for 600 coins and a few stars later on.
For the Theme King grind, the real challenge is not gauging my eyes out through playing 16 complete games. For this grind I am grabbing all the stars I can during the games with 3 minute quarters...these are VERY SIMPLE. As soon as I get to 4 minute quarters I am on auto pilot. Seriously, I step away from the monitor, sit on the couch, watch TV, and hit X every now and then. 1 STAR Setting. Chew clock. Run up the middle and allow the AI to control Barkley as I run non-stop 01 Traps. On D, I allow the AI to call and execute the plays. Slay (DET) and Hunter (Min) are done. Amos (GB) is next. I haven't scored below 2 stars on any game and frequently get 3.
