Extra innings spring training games

cojo82 · 01-22-2021, 02:09 PM

Silly to see 15 inning spring training games. Maybe fix in upcoming versions?? I'm worried about injuries.

Perhaps "spring training only" could be an option for modified extra innings.

Can’t you just check that box during ST, then uncheck it when the season starts? (Not that your proposed solution isn’t better, or rather, ideal)

This is how I do it. Remember to make yourself a note to uncheck it before the season begins.

wow I wish I had thought of that

So as long as long as you turn it off on opening day it doesn't affect regular season or do you need to turn it off before then?

An option for modified extra innings???????????????????
Been playing this game for a while, but never seen this. I just went through the settings in game about 5 times to check but can't find it.
What are you guys talking about?

Go to league settings, then rules. Third item down on top left is modified extra innings. The item above it is the setting for how many batters arelief pitcher must face.

Must be an update then, I don't have this option. I'm still on version 21.3 build 54.

That is bizarre. Must be a bug in there somewhere.

And actually, this rule can be toggled to any of the three settings at any time. In-season, yes. i use it for all minor leagues and Spring Training.

It was added in the 21.5 patch last summer, along with the other 2020 MLB short season options.

Yeah, I was away at sea the entire summer. Have not updated since.

Very nice feature

though, I will use it for my fictional semi-professional league. I will update now.

I knew that was added last year, but never thought to use it for spring training. I have it checked for my rookie leagues, but did not set it for spring training. Next spring training I am going to try that. Of course, as I am sure will happen, first time I forget to turn it off when the season starts I will not be using that again. For spring training would really like to have no extra innings, or just play 10 innings and game end in tie if still tied. That is what normally happens in ST in 2021.

Cryomaniac · 01-28-2021, 08:32 PM

I would like to have ties be allowed, with the number of innings being configurable.

But then I've been asking for that for years

oldfatbaldguy · 01-29-2021, 07:15 PM

I usually have pitchers on my spring training roster who are bad enough that if I want to get a game over with, it's feasible.
