My Team - Upgrade "Breakthrough Level 4" has no tangible effect on gameplay

Hey all, title is as above.

If you play through a My Team Career save, and you unlock the ability to get any of the "Aero/Durability/Powertrain/Chassis Breakthrough 4/4" buying these doesn't add additional modules, or any benefit to buying and owning. These are currently redundant upgrades that have no tangible impact on gameplay.

This is 100% replicable bug. This was found on the Xbox Series X version of the game.

Method of Reproduction:

  1. Start a My Team Save file.
  2. Playthrough the save file, focussing on the "Engineering" tab for "Facility Improvements"
  3. Unlock all the "Breakthrough" options until Phase 4.
  4. In phase 4, purchase any "Breakthrough 4/4" upgrade.
  5. Observe the R&D tree or R&D research/development.

Result: You gain no hidden unlockable upgrades, or anything of value, and have spent money on an ineffective upgrade.

I believe this would be worth it if there's some extra upgrades to unlock to help make the My Team car the best overall car in the game. That, or the My Team car needs a big overall buff to their peak potential.

If there's any issues, please feel free to respond to the bug post here.

Kind regards.

    Hello EA_Groguet​ 

    I am on Xbox, so it's saved Cloud side, I believe.

    Report code for the game as it stands right now is BLHT-TBDL-GR2V-J2LJ

    Hey there,

    Thank you for your report. Can you share with us your Report Code?

    Could you share your Save Game with us for the team to try to reproduce?

    Considering this is the only place where the Devs look for bug post complaints, I thought it would be best to put here. I believe this would qualify as a level 2 bug, as it's not as critical to fix as a game crash or anything that would prevent it passing an update submission. 

    But it's definitely more important than anything in the environment, as this is a gameplay bug.

    Either way, I'm hoping they fix this. Or at least give us something to help make the My Team car the best. It seems woefully uncompetitive from what I've seen in my playthrough.

  • Would’ve been cool if it resets upgrades, like you can re-do the tree and still save like 3/4 of your performance but it be a “new idea” like Ferrari have gone for this year, idk tho, it makes no sense for this upgrade to be here
