Losing points in ranked for no reason

This has happened to me on two separate occasions, so it's time developers addressed it.

I start my race with the points I have (last time it was 530).

I qualify 3rd, finish 3rd after battling in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place.

No collisions, no warnings, no spins, nothing. Clean race, fair battling, 3rd place finish. No positions gained but also no positions lost.

When the ranked points screen comes up, suddenly I only have 497 points (lost 33) and the 51 points I gained get added to that, instead of correctly adding it to my 530.

So where did I lose the 33 points?

  • This happened to me too. Before starting the race, I was at 505 points. I start the race from the back in Qatar (P15) and get taken out twice by dirty drivers. Survived the first, reset and carry on. The second time around I get underbody damage and an irreparable rear wing damage which practically makes me spin out every corner on this high downforce track. STILL, go ahead and finish the race 1 lap down in P12, keeping my patience. When the ranked point screen shows up, by default my score is 454 and I get -5, for going through this ordeal. WHY EA WHY?

  • I have the exact same issue today. Being a rookie I pay a lot of attention to points. My log of points today :

    Start of the week = 0

    +4 pts in Texas (wet) => 4

    + 19 pts in Italy (dry) => 23

    -2 pts in texas (wetter, DNF) => 21

    So far so good

    -1 pts in Italy (wettest) => 0 pts ...

    HOW is that ? Anybody found an explanation ?

    Note that I did not leave any of the race, including the DNF one.

    Why is nobody addressing this issue ? A simple logbook of earned / lost points could help understanding the source if it was legit...

    It's absurd, players even lose points if the matchmaking gets an error. I lost FIFTY points yesterday. Every driver had to leave because it was stuck in matchmaking (no qualy, no race).

    And what about cheaters like this idiot here? https://youtu.be/u_rob3krI_E

    Yeah, I´ve stopped playing Ranked this week and I don´t think I will touch it again unless there are some major changes. Matchmaking, points system, tracks, lobby sizes, driving standards, all horrible. I really enjoyed this mode for a while and it was my most played most, but it´s just unplayable as soon as you reach Gold division. And I even made it all the way up to Elite in Season 1 but there is no way I´m going for that again.

    Points update ... so I was back at 0, confirmed it this morning before playing.

    Again a wet race, in which I'm not good at all, and at the end I get -13 ... I mean 13 pts - 13pts = 0 ... The game displays it as if I had 13 pts and lost them. So apparently points also appear from nowhere from time to time.

    I did not observe that until reaching silver II. Is it possible that new rules apply from this division ?

  • Same error for me, lost 32 points because the game git stuck in please wait in middle of the race
