2nd driver stats not improving

I am currently 15 races into my career. Created my own team and hired a second driver however, between races I alway select the option to improve his stats (originally 65) but he hasn’t improved at all, in any aspect. By this stage, going by the previous game, he should be into the low to mid 70’s overall, but no, still on 65 and nothing has gone up. Anyone else experiencing this issue with the 2nd driver

  • I have the same problem. I always use the activities that boost my second driver but the improvements only stay for the next race weekend. And my bought improvements for the simulator have no effect at all, I literally burnt some cash right there.

    @Zapzarapdos So far I’ve not seen any solution to the issue or much chat about it online. Hopefully it can be fixed with a patch.

    I have this issue too. I noticed that the upgraded stats from facilities didn't show in August last year after a patch but pretty sure it came back (this is F1 2021)

    Is this a design decision on F122 and the upgrades are applying but just not showing?

    I don't think so, my driver doesn't perform better than before. Okay, technically he does, because meanwhile my team is number 4 in terms of performance and super close to the Red Bulls in P3. But you'd expect regular point finishes from an improving driver that's driving a car that competes with RB. But nothing's happening, my rookie got 3 points so far (15 races) and most times he isn't even close to finish in the points. He doesn't improve and the only reason he isn't dueling with Latifi is the fact, that I already have a damn fast car.

    Summarize your bug The second driver in my team only receives ratings boosts for one race weekend instead of permanently.
    Which area is the bug/glitch in? My Team Career Mode
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play my team career mode and select activities which are meant to boost the ratings of your second driver permanently to see they are only added for one race, and then removed.
    What happens when the bug occurs? See summary.
    What do you expect to see? The second drivers ratings gradually rising as time goes on.

    In previous games the ratings boosts that activities would give were permanent. Can we please get confirmation if this is a bug or intended new design @EA_Kent ?

    Hi everyone, 

    We appreciate the reports on this. 

    We've passed this along for a look. 

  • Same issue here.  I've been boosting my 2nd drivers stats as much as possible and they only last for the next race 💔

  • I have the exact same issue as well and from what I am seeing from friends and online this seems to be an all to common problem. In fact apart from the teammate not getting any changes to their stats, it is the whole roster of drivers that does not change. I have had multiple year long seasons and all of the drivers stats remain the exact same from when you first start. 

  • Please can someone from EA or Codemasters confirm the design of how the 2nd driver stat upgrades are supposed to work in career mode?

    I've just started a new My Team game on 1.08 and gave my 2nd driver stat upgrades with the first lot of Activities but after finishing the first race Bahrain, those increases were gone again and the only stat that has changed from the original stats is that focus went down 1 point probably due to crashing in the race and doing really badly.  Is it a bug or are these increases just temporary for one race?
