I don't see why it needs work as a work around. It works very well and doesn't take very long. The idea behind clearing the history is so that even though you've simmed 20 years, it looks like you're starting from scratch and all the leagues in your universe are already "mature". It's pretty easy to tell the game to sim 20 years and not have to do a thing along the way. It doesn't even take all that long to sim out those 20 years. Then you clear the league history so that those 20 years of games look like they never happened, but you've got a league model that's already worked out any potential issues from league creation.
I suppose "doesn't take very long" is a relative expression. In my mind, if I'm setting up a complex feeder system, I don't expect to get my league configured in 5 minutes. I can sim 20 years in less than a couple of hours and have no problem going off to do something like eat dinner, exercise, and/or take the dogs out for some fetch in the meantime. When I come back, it should be all ready for me to wipe the data and start my league and I haven't wasted any time just sitting and watching the years roll by.
Anyway, I'm not saying that the feeder PCM's shouldn't be improved. Certainly they can and should be. I fully support any improvements to the feeder league model which is nice but isn't very robust at this point (please let high schoolers go to college! they need higher education!).
