Given how recently you've started, this is not surprising at all. It often takes close to 2 full seasons to pop a level in experience.
That is not correct..I had a player who popped in experience in 830 minutes of game time..
My player who averaged 37 minutes a game in season 9 had 702 minutes in league play and another 120 in scrimmages and playoff games...he popped from pitiful to awful and it took like 780 minutes to pop off atrocious. So what this means is that it is possible to pop in a level of experience in one season...peace
I recall one of the BBs saying somewhere that experience has less to do with playing time and more to do with a player being challenged in a game situation. So, a first division club playing bots in the Cup would likely gain next to nothing in the way of experience, as an example... Crap, now I'm going to have to look for it.
Okay, that took 45 minutes, but here it is, from way back in October 2007:
(3709.2)experience means more than just minutes logged.. it means minutes logged in key situations, having the ability to make key decisions.. etc.. and everyone doesn't have to start out on an even playing field. . . in terms of how it affects the GE, abstractly i'd say experience helps players make better decisions and more accurately assess what is going on.
