Make Workspace follow playhead like Garageband

I've recently upgraded to Logic Pro X (10.2.4) from Garageband. I was wondering if there was a way to make the "Catch Playhead" function cause the workplace area to scroll with the playhead, as it does in garageband. As it is now, the "catch playhead" button makes the workspace move only whenever the playhead moves off the left side of the screen during playback. I'd like to see if there is a way to make it so that the playhead stays in the middle of the screen, while the workspace moves behind it. Sorry if this is written redundantly. Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Two things to add:

In addition to the "Scroll in Play" mode (Local Menu ➤ View ➤ Scroll in Play), you also have to have the "Catch Playhead" enabled. Click on that button in the Menu Bar it if it is not blue. That Catch Playhead has also different modes (when you right-click on it), but that is a different topic.
