Get rid of "Ghost Runner"?

Alb27 · 12-21-2024, 11:54 AM

I just bought OOTP 25, the first edition I have bought since OOTP 19 (which served me very well).

So, I see all of the settings that can be customized, but I can't find where I can get rid of the worst rule in all of baseball. That is, of course, the Ghost Runner, or the automatic runner that starts at second in extra innings.

I want to get rid of this absolutely ridiculous real-life rule in my game. But, I can't figure out where to do this. How do I?

(Please don't tell me that I can't get rid of it. Pleeeeease!!)

Thank you!

League Settings --> Rules

It is called "Modified Extra Innings"

It is pretty funny to me how much people hate this rule (The players/teams universally like it). IMO it is indicative of the trouble MLB faces in that nobody likes the way the game has progressed over time, but also nobody wants any rules to change.
