Related question - if I sim a historical season and I select a team, am I able to play out and/or watch other teams games ? Is there a way to just bring up a schedule for the whole league for a day/week/month/year ?
Sorry if I am missing this...
...I typically like to control a single team and play all their games, but also cherry pick some intriguing matchups from the rest of the schedule and either watch or play out those games.
Thanks !

Yes, that's exactly how a lot of people play it.
Every day of the season, the Advance Day page lists every game in the league on that date, with yours first. For any game, PLAY lets you manage the away team, manage the home team or choose Just WATCH to watch the computer manage both sides. Auto-Sim plays a game out in the background.
So for your style, I might suggest to play your own team's game, pick out any other matchups that look interesting and play or watch those, then click Auto-Sim All to finish the rest of the day.
There's also Auto-Sim All Except My Team, and Sim Week Except My Team, which sims everyone else's games and stops on the next day your team plays.
You can only play games on the current date, though. Games on later dates can't be played ahead of time. That's just too much of a nightmare LOL
For looking ahead, the Schedule page on the season dashboard shows a monthly calendar for one team at a time.
You can then use the team picker to switch to any club, and "Jump to date" to go straight to a given day. There isn't a league-wide schedule for a week, month or year yet. Advance Day is the league-wide view, one day at a time.
The docs are good to read ;-)

Mike, a quick correction to what I said earlier. The one-click option you asked for is already in the game: it's called Watch Game. Set both teams to Computer-controlled and the pregame screen shows Watch Game in place of Play Ball. On the gameboard the only button is Resolve At-Bat, so each at-bat takes one click and the manager makes the swing, bunt, steal and positioning calls for both sides. You can still pinch hit, pinch run, change pitchers and move fielders for either team between at-bats. If you want to call the strategy yourself on certain at-bats, use Manage Both Teams instead.
The text labels on the buttons are still on my list. Thanks again for the suggestions!
