Well, not entirely. The minors leagues have for some time now used the rule that both games of a regular doubleheader are only 7 innings long. (A game played after the completion of a suspended game is also reduced to 7 innings.)
Which suggests to me a real-world aspect that would be nice to have: the ability to set a regular doubleheader as either two 9-inning games, a 9-inning game followed by a 7-inning game, or two 7-inning games. (These are the different rules the minors have followed over the years.)
Allowing a game still tied after a set number of innings to end as a tie would be nice too. (This is common in the Asian baseball leagues, and is used in the Arizona Fall League as well.)
