So, I am telling you for a fact, a mistake was not made....at this point, I would either have to be lying, or an idiot for it not to be true...I'll let you all come up with your own opinion on the answer to that. (You really don't have to share your opinion/answer on that :-) }


You are making me want to start an experience study now... But I think there was one done by someone at some point. And I already have a lot on my plate with the cap study that I started: (155261.1).

(Yes, that was a cheap, shameless plug, I will admit it ;-) )

ok exp can be lv 1 or lv 2 for a draftee yer ? (not sure if thats correct )

so wouldnt it be possible he was like 1 sublevel away from pitiful when drafted ? thus he poped quick the first time then got some quality mins in the cup run where the game was on the line and got his second pop.

also i remember reading that exp study im not sure how reliable it is though as i remember reading about exp taking into account the quality of the mins not just the quanity, so if the player was in key situations he would earn more exp in that game.

how that actually works is anyones guess lol.

We seem to have different memories. My memory is the study said that minutes played was the only important variable. Maybe someone can look up the thread and inform us.

The BBs have also said that important games matter more. For example, Cup, playoff and NT games have more weight than league games. Whereas scrimmages do not count much at all (and private league games definitely do not count).

I'm pretty sure number of minutes and type of minutes (cup, nt, scrimmage etc) is what determines experience, not what happens in those minutes.

It would be sooooo complicated to give different amounts of experience for different scenarios that arise during games, and would have no real purpose. It would be far easier to code it so that minutes from particular games give more or less. So National team gives more than league games for example.

I believe a BB has said that situation in a game matters. If I weren't so lazy, I would go find where and who said it, but...

I don't think that is true at all - I read all those threads and do not remember any statement like that. It could be that my memory is bad but that's another story.

I did a search on experience and came up with nothing from the BBs. However, I did find this interesting thread: (83612.1). Some of the most "experienced" managers in BB offer their opinion there.

I do recall someone saying that the experience factors in game situations and that if a player hits a game winning shot, that could give a boost to his sublevels. I was very new when I read that, so I can't remember who said it...but I remember reading it.

We had a little discussion here about whether the game situation of the minutes matter for experience (based on something I saw a BB post), and I am still unsure of the answer.

Mahody, I took a look at the games your player played in. It seems like he had some pretty close games, including some minutes in a cup game, so it could be possible that the closer games affected his experience more... but I don't know much about experience. Most of my games have been blowouts, so I don't have any info regarding close games being related to experience. But if something like what happened to your player happens to one of mine, I'll let you know.
