Basketballs – the new in-app currency

Today, every user will get 900 basketballs to their account and 150 basketballs as a welcome gift (valid only this week). Basketballs are the new Scorestars currency that you can use to purchase new players, boosters, avatars, and profile banners. You can collect more basketballs by logging in every day from the daily log-in streak or by scratching a daily scratch and win ticket. Also, you will be awarded with basketballs by participating in the weekly fantasy competition.

Daily missions

Every day, you have missions to complete. Completing missions, give you experience points (XP) and hoops. Experience points will give you a level up to become the most experienced virtual basketball manager in Lithuania. Hoops are used for season pass.

Season pass – 3-month long ticket to claim rewards

Season pass is another new feature on Scorestars. There are two season passes – premium and free. From the daily missions, you can every day claim hoops that unlock you different rewards on the season pass track such as new players, boosters, extra scratch and win ticket, etc. Premium season pass just unlocks you more rewards.

Fantasy – upgrading players, tactical gameplay, captain and boosters

Every user will get all the players of the Betsafe-LKL when making an account. Additionally, a favorite team’s extra players will be added to your inventory. On inventory, you can see your full list of players and the ones that can be upgraded. To upgrade players, you need to collect same player cards. To upgrade them to the next level, you need more gray (Common tier) cards. Therefore, having multiple cards of the same player in your inventory is highly beneficial.

A card upgrade gives you a higher-tier card. Yet, to use the full functionality of the higher-tier cards, you need boosters. Boosters are always working hand in hand with the card tiers (colors). A fantasy lineup can be made of unique players meaning that the same player can’t be used in multiple positions in your fantasy team.

From the top, you can choose your preferred tactical formation from traditional 1 x Center, 2 x Forward, 2 x Guard to 1 x Center, 1 x Forward, 3 x Guards. You are the manager here. Additionally, when you have purchased boosters from the market with basketballs, you can use them to boost either one player or the full team (depending on the booster type). Different boosters will give different multipliers, look for more information from the boosters’ page.

As said before, boosters work together with the card levels. The better the card, the higher the multiplier for the player with a booster applied. Additionally, you can select a captain for your daily team. The captain will give you 2 x points, and the same player can be used with boosters.

The scoring system is based on the player’s efficiency rating. If a player in your team makes 20 efficiency, you will get points based on that (additionally multipliers from boosters and/or captain). Your score will come together from all the 5 players efficiency points and that will rank you in your division leaderboard.

Divisions

Scorestars is for everyone. Divisions are made to make the gameplay more interesting. Every user will start from the 5th division. Every game week (Monday to Sunday), some of the users will be promoted to a higher division, some will stay in the same division, and some will be relegated. Relegation is not possible from the 5th division and 70% of the players will get promoted to the 4th division. Each division has different system in terms of the percentage of users who will get either promoted or relegated. Also, in different divisions, there are different rewards. Check the progress line and information tab for more information.
