From what I have played the program progress is tracked in DD and I will try resetting settings profile for RTTS progress.
Even if you get XP the most important thing is to get progress on your Archetype programs because that is how your boost your overall.
I grinded a lot this morning got to July in my minor league season to only just notice I have not progressed my Sparkplug program at all. And this is after I found out that getting the main program levels up is how you increase your overall since your base stats are capped at 50.
