Can you still replay games in real time?

It used to be easy to do - you just pressed play and then got a little checkbox if you wanted to watch in real time. Now (like everything else on chess.com) you get analysis, whether you want it or not. (Is there any way to switch that off btw? In other words go back to only having analysis if you actually want it?)

Anyway, if anyone knows how to watch games back in real time please let me know. Thanks.

I couldn't find a way to do it any more. The playback in real time checkbox is gone.

Thanks for the prompt reply and the info. What a joke though. I wonder what the thinking was behind disabling a very useful feature. I get that they want to force us to have analysis (presumably because some people will then pay for it) but how does disabling real time playback help that agenda?

Anyway, no point complaining about it here. Is there a mechanism whereby one can request that the feature is brought back?
