Brand new to OOTP but not to sports gaming. Dice based initially- Statis-Pro, ABPA, SOM, Replay, etc. but never invested into the computer based versions.

I'm not yet prepared to jump completely in and GM a team through history but rather would like to simply run simulations- individual games and series (not necessarily the entire season)- and either sit back and watch the action unfold on screen or manage one of the teams and watch the same action as influenced by my in-game decisions.

I've played around with the software for about an hour and can't seem to find how to run these simple game simulations. The program keeps taking me into a much deeper mode. I'd like to simulate the just finished World Series, I'd like to replay WS series from the past, perhaps play a game or series between two great teams from the past, etc.

Would greatly appreciate insight and tips on how to head down this desired path.

Thanks!
