I notice that when I switch from play calling to allowing my coordinators to play call, it instantly sims the remainder of the game. Is there a way to watch the game so that I can take over play calling later in a close game? This would be comparable to how it currently works in the college basketball game, where I just set a game speed and watch, but can take over at any point in the game.

We do not currently offer this feature. You can skip to the 4th quarter, but that's as close as we get.
