I only used SS during ST plays, but if memory serves me correctly, you press the a button, sim, press the a button sim, or sim a quarter or half. I think that is the way it worked.
I think with the Play the moment feature, you can sim as much or as little as you want, ie, offense, defense, etc..... And maybe you could do that before, but I would think if you wanted to sim offense or defense, you had to do a lot of button pressing.
Plus, from my memory on from the blog, I think they stated you could receive accurate # of plays per game where I don't feel the sim stat engine from years gone by was that accurate. This is whether you sim 3 minute quarters or 12 minute quarters.
Plus, they are touting the sim speed is faster than ever. I've never played more than a season in Franchise mode and this will allow me the opportunity to play more than a season in franchise mode in less amount of time.
This can be seen as a big plus with people with busy schedules with kids, wife, work, etc.....
Each person mileages may vary. I envision some or most people won't use this feature, but I know I will and I am pleased they added it.

I just popped in 16 to check it out and there are options to go to the next play, possession, quarter and to the end of the game all with a single button press and it seemed very quick. It probably isn't anywhere near as convenient as it will be in M17 and achieving something like playing certain moments would definitely require a bit more finessing but is more or less still very much there and doable.
I'm not trying to denounce or belittle the adjustments they made because virtually every one of them is something that changes SuperSim in a positive way. I, like you, used to use it for FG's and always wished there was a coach mode along with it so I could at least see the FG, now they have that so that's a cool option to have. They've taken away the trouble of having to go through testing with SuperSim to figure out the balance of quarter length and total plays, also good. I'm well aware of the changes made and how they will benefit the people that want to play that way and I'm truly happy for them. There's just so many more areas that I felt could have been improved or created that could have had a positive impact for both ends of the spectrum while leaving this methodology of playing still very much intact.
