OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - AHL to NHL Preseason: up and down and up and down

I'm currently GM and HC of the Hershey Bears in challenge mode. Every day now since Sept 19, 2019 (day before preseason starts), the Washington Capitols call up and send down B. Leipsic. On the 19th, they sent him down, called him up and sent him down. From the 20th onward, they have called him up and sent him down each once per day. It was really disruptive because not only do I have to dismiss the ATTENTION banner twice before I can move on, it also wrecks my lines and I have to reset them before each preseason game, and it devastates Leipsic's fitness (he comes back the same day as low as 1% FIT!!!). It also spams my news box with the notifications of his one-way trips, which is a minor annoyance. Something similar happened a couple of times when I was GM'ing the Vancouver Giants in the WHL, someone would be called up and sent back down the same day, but that usually stopped after a single occurrence or maybe two. In the AHL, it happened every single day for all 10 days (19-29 Sep) of the preseason and then mercifully stopped. It rendered the preseason not only unproductive but practically unbearable.
