The amount of time on the field a player plays does not have any apparent impact. From the game manual: Experience: approximation of how much total experience a player has accumulated (years in the big league). Experience: is gained while playing in the majors and to a limited extent in the minor leagues (ie. Playing in spring training games). There are several ways in which experience is gained: with each at bat for hitters, with each batter faced for pitchers and with each inning played in the field for positional defense purposes. |

There is a more precise “hidden” values that combined with training determines the skill level of a player. Perhaps this needs clarification in the game manual? Steve |

Or if it does have impact, maybe a line saying to remember to call up the minor leaguers before the season turnover. | ||

Minnie Miñoso Joined: 06/05/2012 Posts: 42 Inactive | So which is it? Is experience gained "with each at bat" and "with each batter faced" or does it just go to whomever is occupying a playing slot on the day the season is over? Because if the later, then you could play a veteran all year and insert a rookie on the last day and give him the whole year's experience. That seems absurd and should be considered a "bug" in the game. | ||
