Here's the problem: when sprinting, pay attention and you'll notice that in the middle of a sprint, the POWER module light will turn off. You'll still be sprinting but it won't be using the module, thus you are not getting XP for it. I noticed that the light turns off when you hit irregular geometry while sprinting, such as corners, rocks, ramps, etc.
After noticing this, every time I saw the light turn off I'd stop sprinting and then start again, making sure the light was on. After figuring this out I am making 1500+ POWER xp nearly every match.
I guess this is a new bug but it might help those of you who are wondering why the POWER module takes forever to level up.
tl;dr: when you POWER module light is not on, stop sprinting and sprint again. Make sure it stays lit while sprinting or you won't get power XP.
