I've been tracking the experience of my players fairly closely and found some pretty extreme cases.

In 8,158 plays and 78 friendlies this guy has increased his experience by 0.5* once going from 2.5* to 3* now.

In 653 plays and 35 friendlies this guy has increased his experience by 0.5* twice going from 3.5* to 4.5* now.

Anybody found players gaining EXP much faster or slower than average?

PS: I understand that EXP is rounded up or down but that doesn't explain such a huge difference.

Pete changed the EXP gainin two points some seasons ago.
First was that only one position brings full EXP, every other position brings only a little bit near nothing, like training after the red cap.
Second was an age depending EXP gain, the older the less.

If I look at these two players it seems it have a lot more influence than most thought.

It seems that there's nothing about it on changelog too.

It came with the changes in season 25, but it isn't mentioned particularly.

It was not a change it was always in the engine but not in the manual:

Pete's Explaination

If you have a player play loads of snaps (Offense, Defense and ST) he will not gain as much Experienece as if he would have played that amount of snaps in 3 games just on defense

I was never sure whether this came down to position, amount of snaps no matter where they play (eg 160 snaps over 2 games will gain less exp than 200 snaps over 4) or both?

Yeah I know this rule but it doesn't explain why one of my player gained a full star of experience so quickly.

And the guy who's gaining experience slowler than average isn't playing too many plays per game either I don't think, he barely ever gets 90 plays in a game including O, D and ST.

Here's another example I am confused about.

My starting QB
I bought him with 3*EXP and 3,010 plays.
He hit 3.5*EXP after 6,315 plays + 80 Friendlies
He hit 4*EXP after 8,350 plays + 103 Friendlies (2,035 plays + 23 Friendlies for 0.5*)
He hit 4.5*EXP after 13,396 plays + 165 Friendlies (5,046 plays + 62 Friendlies for 0.5*)
Yesterday he just hit 5*EXP after 17,036 plays + 199 Friendlies (3,640 plays + 34 Friendlies for 0.5*)

Anybody else has experienced something like this?
