MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

[Rensor]

Really have no idea whether I am breaking any rules by sending this to your post as it has nothing to do with it. Simply. I am just trying o find out some basic facts about using the show 16 and have had not had any luck finding a manual or something that answers my questions (not because of any lack of effort as have now spent many hours on something that should be simple) Maybe as I am a lot older tan most people on this forum I just don't have the instinctive knowledge what to look for.
Anyway I hope someone can help me out on 2 simple questions

1) How do I start a game against the CPU rather than watching CPU/CPU games?
2) The quick menu indicates you have to press a button with a finger on it. What button is that?

No doubt I will have lots of other things I don't understand but this would be a good start. So when you stop laughing at my naivety please someone give me an answer. Thanks in advance
