Shirt numbers cannot be changed for loan players and national team players

Description:

There is a bug in Manager Career Mode when trying to change a player’s shirt number.

  1. Loan players:
    When I try to change the shirt number of a player who is currently on loan at my club, the number does not change for my club. Instead, the game tries to change the player’s shirt number at the club he is loaned from.
  2. National teams:
    The same issue occurs when managing a national team alongside my club. When I try to change a player’s shirt number for the national team, the game tries to change his shirt number at his club instead.

Expected behavior:
The shirt number should be changed for the currently selected squad. A loan player’s number should be changeable for my club, and a national team player’s number should be changeable for the national team.

Actual behavior:
The game attempts to change the player’s club shirt number instead of the shirt number for the currently selected squad.

Game Mode: Manager Career Mode
Platform: All

    The changes of the kid numbers dont change. Very frustrating for players who want realistic saves. The numbers are changing in the players club if you want to change it for the national team so i cant start my carreer save. This need to be fixed asap

    Oh, absolutely phenomenal work on the new kit number "feature" in FC 27. Truly groundbreaking stuff.

    For the past month, I've been trying to change a player's shirt number in the England national team, only to discover that your brilliant system is actually changing his number at Real Madrid instead. Because apparently, in the cutting-edge world of EA Sports, the distinction between a national team and a football club is just an unnecessarily complicated technicality. What an immersive career mode experience. Next time I change England's formation, should I check whether I've accidentally sold half of Barcelona's starting XI?

    And the best part? This bug was reported on your own forums a month ago. Genuinely impressive commitment to doing nothing.

    Are the developers still working out the difference between a country and a club? Is there an internal PowerPoint explaining that England and Real Madrid are, in fact, two separate football teams? Or has the engineering budget already been redirected toward designing next  Ultimate Team card animations?

    We're not asking for a revolutionary new gameplay mechanic here. We're asking for a shirt number to change on the correct team. Something football games managed to figure out decades ago.

    But sure, why bother fixing basic functionality in a game people already paid full price for when you can just slap a new number on the box next year and call it innovation?

    So, EA, is FC 27 actually going to get fixed, or is international management just another half-baked feature you've abandoned until you can sell it back to us as "improved" in FC 28?

    A similar thing keeps happening in the youth academy when you change a youngsters kit number. You get thrown out the game completely and it asks you to submit an error report. Strange.
