Ties would be great, with the following options:

1) Last possible inning (any number 9+)
2) An option to have ties count as nothing (NFL did this before 1972), half a win (think NHL before the shootouts), or 1/3 of a win (soccer).
3) An option to have ties in playoff games or just regular season

If you allow ties in playoff games, some interesting possibilities open up, especially if you do the 3 points for a win 1 point for a tie in playoff series too. You would just need another option for if tied in points at the end of the last playoff game to play an extra game that can't end in a tie or decide the tie on net runs or something.

If you wanted to make it like NHL hockey you could have a home run derby after the last inning as your 'shootout'
