Playoff rosters

The playoff roster rules changed in 2014, but still hasn't been fixed in OOTP. Unless I'm just messing something up in my saves.

"In the past, players on the 25-man roster as of Aug. 31 were eligible, along with players on the disabled list. The overall restriction was not that severe, however; any player in the organization could replace an injured player.

The difference now is that all players on the 40-man roster as of Aug. 31 are eligible. The Pirates, for example, can name outfielder Gregory Polanco to their postseason roster even though they will not recall him from the minors until Tuesday."

There's an option in 16 for this. If I recall, it's a drop-down where you select playoff rosters, whether you want to use the 25 or 40-man. New games should default correctly to it, but if your game started before the option was added, it wouldn't get updated to the correct rules.

Well I just saw that option for the first time. Always learn something new in this game. Thank you.
