Leveling up in Career Mode?

Just curious to hear from anyone here who leveled up their golfer mostly (if not totally) in career mode 🤔 How long did it take? And I don’t mean in “real” time but in “game” time………Was it by the end of the first season? Or did it take a little longer than that? My golfer is currently in his first season and getting ready to play the final round of the WM tournament in Scottsdale Arizona and he’s at lvl 42 but I have noticed that every time he goes up a level that the experience points required to get to the next level go up substantially……..for his next level it’s like 133,000 or something like that 😲🫣 Thanks in advance for any insight into this query 😁👍

Sorry, I just realized that I should also include this information……..I’m playing four full rounds for every tournament 😉

  • @Cowboy1963Sorry about my first reply since I remembered real time how long I leveled up. I remembered I did challenges, quick play and career. By the time I completed the first season I was fully leveled up. It is hard to replicate since it takes really long to level up. I can only give you an estimate. If your do not do challenges and quick play, it can take longer than one full season to fully level up; possibly up to two seasons. In your case, you should fully level up by end of your season since you are level 42. The WM Tournament is the opening tournament.

    It is easier to give game time estimates for UFC and TW14 since I was able to fully max out 4 or more characters. For UFC, it is the 3rd title defense. For TW14, it is about midway of season or less. For Madden, you can fully max out once you create your player.

    I have earned my XP with career, Challenges.and quick play. As a note, you can earn the same per round for career and quick play. It took me around 160-170 hours to fully level up. Since I played 4 hrs a day, it took me a little over a month to fully level up. 

  • It's been a long time since I played... but you are correct each successive level requires more XP. You get a set amount of XP for each hole played, and from what I remember a small bonus for meeting small targets like making birdies. I'm pretty sure there is a recap after every round of golf.

    So as you can see it is not about how far you are along in the career mode... as much as how many holes you have played and how well you played them.

    I doubt anyone can provide a definitive answer, as we don't know what the final XP requirement is, and I am sure all of us gained XP through various ways to max out our characters.
