What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Dynasty
Summarize your bug Physical abilities are not progressing in dynasty mode despite the player having the necessary rating to go up a tier. See the screenshot below for Magician and Option King--despite the player's rating in Speed and Short Accuracy being the same or higher than the required rating to go to the next tier, they're still bronze. Should be silver.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to a player's player card in dynasty mode and look at the Physicals tab and check the player's ratings relative to their physical abilities.
What happens when the bug occurs? Physical abilities won't progress. I've simmed and played multiple seasons and I have yet to see a player's physical abilities go up a tier. They're stuck with whatever tier they had when they were recruited.
What do you expect to see? Physical abilities tiers should progress once a player's rating meets and/or surpasses the necessary rating

I discovered this myself.  I believe it is tied to the same system as RTG where the CPU has to spend "Skill Points" to "buy" the next tier, once they qualify for this.  I tested by sorting National by position group and then attribute (like Juke/Spin) to see and many of them were not correct.  Every single CPU team player was incorrect. However, players on my USER team did actually increase their ability tier. It seems it's a bug where possibly only user team players will increase in tier, and not CPU.  Also, they have to acquire the number of skill points to purchase the ability tier (hidden in dynasty) and also choose to utilize them to unlock the tier instead of an attribute tree boost.
