I'm sorry, but too many OOTP users are far too forgiving of this sort of core transaction rule omission. Excuses always get made. If the game was still young it might be understandable, but we're talking about a product which is 25 years old. For a.game at this level of maturity and development to still be lacking such core rule components is, in my view, unacceptable. The stay limitation should have been added years ago.

This has been brought up before, and I believe the developers themselves responded that the injury exception specifically made it much more complicated to implement than you seem to think (something that doesn't effect the 5 option limit logic).

Plus, what is the real benefit outside of having the exact rules as MLB? I get it that these nuances are your thing, but design decisions need to be made when programming Rules and this one just isn't very important...particularly not for the effort apparently needed.

I swear that this game having "almost" every potential option causes people to lose their minds about any little thing that is missing or doesn't work perfectly.

Advocate for your preferences, sure, but man I don't see why it is so hard not to be an ass about it (not meaning to single you or anyone specifically out there...just *waves hands generally at the forums*).
