My current manager, Harwood has been with the team continuously for three full seasons and parts of two others. However, his listed experience is two years.

Additionally, and I'm not certain about this, it seems like he hasn't revealed any additional stats in a very long time. Based upon his ratings I don't believe this should be his limit.

Is my manager's experience "stuck"? Anyone else have something like this?

Managers reveal over the course of 5 or so seasons. So he isn't done revealing his stats yet.

Managers only show a year of experience after they have completed the full year. This guy looks like he should have flopped over to 3 EXP at the start of the season. You didn't release him at any point did you? Definitely seems like he should have flipped over to 3 EXP by now...

I'm pretty sure I have not released him. To be frank, I wouldn't want to deal with trying to find a better manager once I have one that I regard as acceptable.

My manager still says two years experience. I think it's really likely that there's something wrong with him at at this point.

Maybe this is connected with the Mega Training snafu we went thru.
It affected players' experience.
Managers' , who knows?

Definitely something bugged there.

He should also have revealed a lot more of his skill by now. It looks like both his experience and his reveal have gotten stuck.

Here's a manager with 0 years of experience despite more than a full season with his team.

http://brokenbat.org/manager/3103

I've looked around the league and it's difficult to be sure because I don't know how the game is supposed to handle partial seasons, but it seems like other managers may be impacted, too. I think this is not just limited to my guy.

I wonder if that is why my manager hasn't grown any? I had just assumed he was bad.

My old manager is also not showing all his experience... I think it is a wide spread bug.

Yes Rock, it's wide spread. I pointed out in under "experience issues" that i have at least 3 pitchers that are affected as well. 2 of them are starting there 4th major league season and have 0 experience and may have stunted because of it. Certainly experience plays a role somehow with player's salary, training, or even performance..who knows!

You're right that players are also not accruing years of experience, but I don't believe it's impacting skill gains. Sellers gained more than 20 SI for me this year.

Both of them are 12 pots and were trained properly. They have both stopped at 95(which doesn't necessarily mean they stunted)and i'm speculating that there could be a cap on a 0 experience player. So your 20 point gain wouldn't be effected, only the last 5-10 points would be. Purely speculation but as I said there is some affect though experience..i don't believe it's a purely cosmetic thing.

There are many different kind of experience:

one kind, which the game creator referred to when he fixed the Mega training, I know nothing about.

Then, there is major league experience: 10 training periods on a ML roster equals 1 year.
Partial seasons count as 0

Experience on the team is computed from the 1st day of signing a player. Minor or Major leagues is the same. It's used to achieve salary discounts.

Its unclear what impacts the experience bug is having on players (experience may be used as a modifier for performance as well), but there is no doubt that managers are no longer revealing their abilities due to this bug.

Laredo's manager, Sears

has been with the club for 6 full seasons.
His experience is shown as 4.

It looks like it stopped being updated 2 seasons ago, right on the time of Mega training.
Maybe the fix broke something here instead

I wondered why Zombie hadn't improved at all in over a full season. Another one for Steve to browse at.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is a system-wide issue across all managers and all players. I think it might also be having some affect on SI growth, but not 100% sure on that. Just a few of the many examples on my team:

2 years experience but 4 full seasons, didn't reach low end of 15pt (stopped at 118 SI)

0 years experience but 2 full seasons, didn't reach low end of 14pt (stopped at 106 SI)

1 year experience but 2 full seasons and parts of 5 seasons, stopped at 104 SI for 13pt

0 years experience but 2 full seasons, reached 107 SI for 13pt

1 year experience but 3 full seasons and part of 5 seasons, reached 107 SI for 13pt

All "rookies" despite having played at least 1 full season: Behrens, Schwarz, Bollinger

I think the experience counter might just be off by 1-2 years for everyone.

I believe its one or two year precisely because it stopped working when we had the training snafu a couple seasons back. At experience just stopped collecting at that point.

If this has been mentioned before, sorry.

I went to look at my manager after seeing this thread. I suddenly noticed the description says "(2 years with club)," but he has been with my team for 4.5 years.

Something wonky, for sure...

Here's another example. My manager has not has an attribute change in several seasons, to my knowledge. He's also been with my club for 4 seasons now, but shows only "1 Year with Club".

As long as this faulty Experience gains are limited to managers it won't affect the game.
(Manager's skills are _revealed_, not trained. They are shown to us bit by bit, but the ability is there all along)

I'm worried about Experience not being accrued by Major League PLAYERS

My hypothesis is that the total skill of a player is made up by:
minor league training
major league playing time
major league experience

The latter comprising up to four seasons of service on a major league roster, and 20% of the player's Potential

This lack of updates may be the reason all of my players that were promoted after the Mega training are STUNTED

Do you have the same problem?

Sorry...I probably should have communicated this earlier. This was fixed. The problem is one of retro-activity. It's very hard to go back and try to add in the missed experience to managers etc. So for some, there will be a discrepancy between this experience value and the actual service time.

That doesn't explain why players and managers haven't gained experience since the Mega update.

I read it as meaning the problem was very recently fixed and you should see exp gains again shortly.

But just a guess.
