	'''Auto-play''' is OOTP's way of advancing the game date. When you auto-play, you tell OOTP to advance the game date to a specific date, causing OOTP to simulate the results of all games and events held during that time. Auto-play advances time across ''all leagues in a game file simultaneously''. There is no way to advance time in one league, but not in another. If you are using multiple leagues, be sure all leagues are ready to move forward before auto-playing! The most common pattern for playing OOTP is to perform any management functions you wish, auto-play for some amount of time, check the results, and then repeat.

	Auto-play will simulate the results of human-controlled games as well, so if you want to play out your games, you should review the section on ~~Play-by-Play Mode~~ before proceeding. Even if you play out your own games, you will need to use auto-play to simulate the results of the rest of the games on the schedule.

You can change the speed of the simulation by clicking on the drop down menu called SIMULATION SPEED. You have options of Pause, Real-Time, Factor of 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 90, 120, 300, 600, and 1000. The higher the number the faster the simulation will run. You can also just click on the FINISH SIM button to instantly finish the simulation and take you to the scores page. Also, like in the drop down menu, you can pause the sim by hitting the PAUSE SIM button. It will then turn into a CONTINUE SIM button.
 * '''Auto-Play Until...''' - This option will allow the user to pick to sim until, '''through the next game''', '''a specified date''', to '''Next Week''' (''This is not simulate a week. If you are on Tuesday it will simulate only 5 days until Sunday''), '''Next Month''' (''Just like with Sim to Next Week, this will only Sim until the 1st of the next month, it will not simulate a month''), or '''Next Year''' (''This will simulate until January 1st of the next year'').
 * '''Auto-Play to Event...''' - Pick an event on the list to simulate to. ''(NOTE: For all Auto-Play functions, options chosen under your [[OOTP 25:Screens and Menus/Manager Menu/Manager Options|Managers Options]], could cause a stoppage in your Auto-Play for reasons like, an Injury, a day to day injury, when a player can come off IL, when you get a personal message, or a trade proposal. This can be turned off under Manager Options.)''
 * '''Simulation Module''' - Under this option you can setup a quick simulation between teams. This will have no effect on your current league. You can use this to get a rough outcome of your next upcoming series.
 * '''Play Exhibition Game''' - You can setup a quick game between two teams and play it out. Once again, this will have no effect on your league, the games will not be saved.
 * '''Watch Saved Replay''' - The '''Watch Saved Replay''' section of the Play Menu allows you to watch a recorded replay of a completed game. Replays are stored as .rpl files. After loading the replay, select your preferred display options and then start the replay.
