Strategy Settings in Playoffs

Does anyone know if the Team Strategy settings will NOT apply in the playoffs?
I'm pretty sure the Hitter and Pitcher preferences can be changed for the playoffs. However, I have a suspicion that Team Strategy settings like Defensive Replacement, which I used all year, could not be turned off come playoffs.
My top slugger was a LF-4(+1)e12 and was set for a defensive replacement with the lead all year in Team Strategy. I wanted him playing all game in the playoffs though. Nevertheless, it kept subbing for him whenever I had the lead. And on Hitter Preference I do NOT have him checked for remove for Def Sub.
