Simming seasons before you 'start' a new league

[Fallschirmjager]

It would be very handy if we had the option to sim out seasons during the league creation process in order to have history when we started a new league.
You can do this now by simply simming seasons after the league creates itself, but this is time consuming and tedious.

i.e. you could have the league start in 1975
Then you had the option of what year you wanted to actualy enter the league
So lets say you wanted 30 years of history so you enter in 2005 as the year you wish to enter the league.
So the league creates itself and then sims 30 years and then you are taken to the familiar standings screen with 30 years of history already built in.

It would sim in the 'background' so to speak and would save you the dozens of mouse clicks to sim that manys seasons.
It might also be able to sim faster than normal simming.

This would be an incredibly helpful tool and one I hope will gain some supporters and see acceptance into the game.
So if you like this idea in the least, please reply to this thread with your support.

I don't have any problem with having to sim history after the creation process.

There are so many thing that need to be setup AFTER you go through the creation process, that I don't want history simming going on during this period. I want to get my league 100% setup first.

I think that this is a wonderful idea, assuming it is practical to implement. It is tedious and time consuming to actually sim out 30 years or so. To be able to start a new league with a built in fictional history would be great.

Excellent idea. I support it
