Ideas
Look, I appreciate your attempts to help me, but at this stage, I think we should give up.
I don't think uploading a save file will do any good. I personally think that something goofed with the update which causes my game to not work as it should.
Let's just stay where we are for now and wait for the next big update. Maybe you guys can add a dedicated free agents tab for Jack Doohan only with the upcoming series - that would be a 100% safe option to fix it, as Doohan would be part of new career saves again. But even if that's not possible, maybe the next update will fix this problem.
I dunno, it's probably a 1 in a trillion chance to trigger, and I happen to be the one to get it. I can try reinstalling the game to see if that does anything and leave the "nuclear option" (wipe all save files) as a last resort.
Thank you for trying though, I appreciate it. 👍
