Experience is gained by having a player on your top team while the old season ends and the new season begins. 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.

The experience displayed on the player page is just a very rough estimate of experience accumulation based on number of seasons in the majors. 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?

Thanks. Maybe a line or something saying that the listed player's experience doesn't affect the player's performance. Or if it does have impact, maybe a line saying to remember to call up the minor leaguers before the season turnover.

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.

Mostly from playing, although some (minimal) experience is gained from time served in the majors.
