Community ManagerHey everyone,
thanks for all your reports, thoughts and feedback about the recent patch.
To clear up some things, not being able to pick a 2024 F2 driver is working as intended and has always been the case with F2. The F2 season you play in career mode is the season before the game year (e.g. 23 in 24). Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for the player driver to advance from F2 to F1 within the same year.
I've passed your feedback along to the team, though. The new Ferrari engine sound has also been escalated.
Regarding the ERS deploy limit changes called out by @Nuvolarix something indeed seems to have gone wrong and is currently being investigated. Thanks for flagging this to us!

If it is so why did you advertise on instagram that we could use 2024 F2 lineup as drivers in career mode? Also you have content creators in videos saying that it is supposed to be possible to play as say Antonelli for example in Driver/MyTeam career mode.
In previous years we couldn't use real drivers in driver career mode so I think that it's fair from comunity to expect it being allowed this year with changes to career mode.

Yes, I can understand your point of view and have passed that feedback along. You can still use F2 2024 drivers to compete in a Custom Championship in F1 World!
@EA_VendceraGreat that the Ferrari engine sound issues have been escalated to the team thank you.
Speaking of the Ferrari only the addition of the downshifts are good, but a little clunky. Nice to hear the turbo whistle again though as this was clearly absent in the release.
However it's the general pitch and overall engine sound isn't great and worse than before. The engine sound overall sounds muffled and so compressed.
Definitely needs fixing.
Just so we avoid any misunderstandings I am asking only about drivers not F2 2024 cars itself for driver career. Is that supposed to not be available as well? Other moderator (don't know what to call them) said it is being looked into and shouldn't be that way.
While I understand that we can play them in Gran Prix mode the career mode itself has more to it, which I am sure you will agree yourself, and also as for Instagram post this is why I am upset a bit to learn it won't be possible to play as them in career
These are from 2 weeks ago or thereabout.
In youtube video it's not stated that Antonelli should have his challenge career mode so my takeaway was he will be playable in regular career mode.
