Sim a single game or all of today's games - how?

How do I sim all of today's games without going forward to the next day? I regularly do this on OOTP, especially late in the season when postseason spots are in play, but I can't figure out how to do it in FHM.

It would also be neat to be able to sim single games from the league schedule screen with a single click.

You'd have to sim them one-by-one from the league schedule screen (by clicking View, then Sim Game.) But a separate Sim button on that page isn't a bad idea, I'll see if we can add that.

Thanks, Jeff. At least for me that would add immersion value, especially during play-off races anf the postseason. Right now my main complaint is that the game sort of steers me away from the league, when the Continue button just takes me from one game day to the next.

While you're at it, would it be hard to add e.g the three stars of the game and winning/losing goalies to the scedule screen for completed games? That would again add immersion value, in the mold of "oh shoot, Barkov had another three-point game, my guy has to work miracles to get the Art Ross."

A little more difficult, that'd mean a bit of a redesign of that screen. Although it's probably due for one...

I'm not a coder, but I kind of figured it might not be so simple.... I'm a big fan of the way OOTP does that, and it would be great to have the same in a hockey game.

Anyway, thanks again, its great to have a game developer who is this responsive.
