F2 drivers in MyTeam will always picked the same number as Icon Drivers

I think I might have figured out when the game will encounter this issue of both drivers using the same number in MyTeam.

I've tested a few different saves where I hired different combinations of drivers to see if this bug always occurred in this game mode. 

- First, I tried hiring two real life F2 drivers, the result is both drivers are using different numbers. ✅

- Second, I went with one icon driver (Button) & one F2 driver (Aron), they are both using the same number (15). ❌

Then I tried the icon x real combination again, but this time it's (Senna) and (Aron), they are once again using the same number (forgot which number though).

- Third, I tried hiring two icon drivers (Senna & Button), this time the result is they are both using different numbers (Senna = 41), (Button = 15) ✅

- Fourth, I tried hiring one Esport icon driver (Opmeer) and one F2 driver (Miyata), the result is both drivers are using the same number (94). ❌

I think we can probably conclude that there's something wrong with the game's number picking whenever players hire one icon and one F2 driver, and if I wasn't wrong, icon driver seems to had predetermined fixed number (Button = 15, for example), I wonder if that's causing the issue to whoever in the other seat that were designed to use random numbers.

Hopefully this bug wouldn't also causes issue to when player is hiring real F1 driver, the F2 driver in the other seat will automatically uses the same number as the newly hired F1 driver.

Also, instead of just resolving this bug, I think it's probably better if you just implement a system where players could freely pick numbers for all of these non-current F1 drivers, just make it the same way how we could pick our own custom number in Driver's Career.

  • Based on one of the reports here, the same issue seem to also appear in Two-Players Career mode.

    "- First, I tried hiring two real life F2 drivers, the result is both drivers are using different numbers. ✅"

    The problem with this one is if you select F2 drivers, they are using their F2 racing numbers. So if you hire Victor Martins, he will use #1 and we know why that is a problem (the patch notes say it will be fixed today). Also, if you select Enzo Fittipaldi, he will use #14 which is Alonsos number. I hope this will be fixed too.

    For the time being we should not hire Icon drivers to our teams, because their numbers override everything.

    Sadly yes. When I get home I download the patch and start a new My Team career to see if anything changed, fingers crossed.

    Nope, just tested with a new career save, same issue.

    I was considering getting the Iconic Edition upgrade if they fixed the issue with this patch...guess I won't be doing it then.

    It's little things like these that completely ruin the immersion, once you've noticed it you can't unsee it...

    Hey there,

    Thank you very much for your reports. This issue should have been fixed with the last patch, but we are receiving some reports that, unfortunately, it still occurs.

    I will escalate this to the team asap.

    Thanks 😊

    It seems like instead of only the F1 drivers and Icon are using fixed numbers, F2 drivers too are also occupying fixed numbers (thanks for Euphonic88​ providing the clarification). 

    To clarify the issue, currently, F2 drivers are using their F2 numbers when they got hired into F1, which overlapped with quite a few existed numbers that are already being used by current F1 drivers.

    Furthermore, for some reason, Icon drivers always override their F2 teammate's number, which made them both using the same number when they're on the same team.

    Though, as mentioned, Icons does not override other Icons' number, and seems to be not conflicting with F1 drivers either (from what I've seen so far)

    However, I haven't got to the point to see what would happen if those F2 drivers (that got their number overriden by Icon) moved to another team.
