So if a player spends 12 days or less in the minors in a season, they accumulate 1 year of experience. But you aren't supposed to be able to accumulate more than 1 year of experience in a single season, obviously. And I know this has worked properly in past versions of OOTP in this league.
Has anyone else seen this error?

I'm pretty sure the game is intended to work this way, and has for as long as I've checked. The real life rule:
a) even though a season is (approx) 182 days long, 172 days counts as one service year.
b) if you spend more than 172 days on the roster during a season, any extra days above 172 don't count towards your service time.
So OOTP has it half-right: a player should get a full service year after 172 days, but no more than a full year if they exceed 172 days. There is an option, in Game Setup, whereby you can set the number of days required for a service year. I find the game works best if this number is set to 182-184 days- whatever the length of one full season- instead of 172.
