No driver progression in myTeam

My team has Tim Tramnitz and Callie Mayer as Drivers. And while Tim slowly crawlöed from a 62 to 68 in 1,5 years (collecting places 19-22 since the beginning) my selected driver Callie Mayer doesn't even moved one of her stats. Its the same 87 with the same sub stats since the beginning.

 

Why do the stats of the selected driver never change? Is it intended or a bug? Yeah at the end those numbers are just numbers without any impact, like in career mode, but who does the driver which the player choses to play dont ever have even the slightest progress?

    I assume this won't be fixed this year. EA didn't even noticed this bug :/

    If you're controlling Hammy/Hulky in Driver career then that'd be different, i'd expect.  There's different progression paths for that that the player has control over.   In MyTeam, i've never seen any old fogies progress stats upwards.  

    In terms of MyTeam, my assumption would be that the controlled player doesn't grow because they've never needed to before.   When it was a created owner/driver, you had no intrinsic stats to grow so it's possibly an unintentional carry-on of that.   You're right in that it does need resolving.

    I have to say that i highly doubt any of your solutions as the normal career mode and last year's carrer mode proved otherwise. Age has no influence in driver progression in F1 24 and F1 25, Hamilton and Hülkenberg can go up to 99, as can Antonelli and Tramnitz. And as i said, that not even one stat didn't change after 1,5 seasons seems to be odd.

     

    I tried another myTeam and this time i always used Tim Tramnitz and let Callie Mayer make her own AI thing. And same picture: Tim doesn't maker any progress but Callie does. So it's cleary the case that the user controlled driver in myTeam doesn't change it stats. And that is...unsatisfying.

    There are various factors that attribute to growth of the drivers.

    Age is quite an important one.  For example, Alonso, Hamilton, Hulkenberg and any other grandfathers of the track aren't going to see any progression as they're older than time itself and will just decline. 

    Callie obviously doesn't fit into that box, so i'd assume that the higher the level, the longer the level progression will take. Otherwise Max will (no pun intended) max out quite quickly, same with Norris.  Tim at 62 has a lower threshold required to achieve the next level as there's more scope for his numbers to go up. 

    The Overall is based off a weighted average with pace being the main contributor.  Tim's pace has probably increased quite well due to completing races and his slower pace level at the start.  Callie won't have seen as much growth in that as it was already higher.   I'd have expected some growth in at least one of her stats though, most obviously experience as that's not a subjective growth.   It could be that she's peaked and this is as good as she'll ever get.   Drivers have limits.

    I guess taking control of a young driver yourself who you'd expect growth on and seeing if their stats increase or not would test whether it is tied to just drivers like Callie, or all drivers the player controls.
