They definitely pop in experience. It is not indicated by an arrow, so you have to document it or you will never know. I have have 3 older players pop without my knowledge, only to realize it when I update my excel sheet.

I think it has been assumed that experience is awarded in 4 levels.

None: Private League
Some: Scrimmages
More: Regular season games
Most: National Team Games/Playoff Games/"Key Situations"

Key Situations are defined as late in games when the game is on the line.

There is also a camp that believes all minutes count the same and the number of minutes to pop 1 level is around 700. Sometimes less, sometimes more.

I am not in that camp and neither are the BBs by their forum comments. I have generally found it takes 1.5 seasons for my players to pop 1 level in experience, granted they are regular starters.

In simplistic terms your starters will get the most EXP due to playing time. Over the course of the season it adds up and like the players birthday it happens once a season, again that deals with players who get starter mins.
Backups EXP popping is at an extreemly slower rate, not even once a season...... it may be every other season.

For you to see the EXP pop you will need to have a day in and day out lineup, not many changes if at all, and near the end of the season you will see the EXP rise.

This is my experience on the subject.

It is based on total minutes played and can happen at any time of the season. XP works like any other Buzzerbeater skill. It has a hidden sublevel that goes slightly up every time the player logs any minutes. It does not only go up at the end of the season like a players birthday. I would say that about 1 year per pop is generally correct, though, for a full time starter.

As an example, I have had an experience pop each of the past 2 weeks on James Buckner then Borja Horachita.

I was stating that exp pops only once.... .
Like "a" birthday, and that you notice a change near the end of a season near the 3/4, mark.
You and I are saying similar things, I'm just not talking in tech language. Starters will see a pop in exp every season, bench players will not due to lack of mins, as you say, and I said sure to not starting (lack of mins).
It is all how in you say tomato.

Ah, I took your statements a different direction. Have you ever seen the tomato-tomahto SNL intro with Christopher Walken? Here it is if you haven't. http://iheartjimmy.net/jimmy-fallon/potato-potahto/ I feel it is relevant.
