any chance more stats will be added to associations

Any chance you have added more stats to associations. i would like to be able to see the combined stats in an association so you can see who has the most hrs and other stats That way I can create a few leagues from different US states and have an association so all the stats can be in one place.

No, that's not easily possible, sorry.

Is anything being done to associations?

Not specifically, no.

Okay. As a follow up, are you planning to do anything with associations in future?

It's not very high on the list, but one day I'll probably start working on them again.

Good to hear that there is even that much thought being given to them. They are somewhat like a high draft pick, they have a lot of potential but need work to be ML ready

I'm just going to bite my tongue here and stay silent.

I've heard that the association screens have a very low rate of usage per the reports the game can send.

And I would affirm this for myself. The concern i have, speaking from my own experience as someone who wants what associations seem to be lacking, is that the bare bones nature of associations is in itself the sole reason why I don't use them.

At this point they simply don't offer enough impact on the game to merit any time spent creating them.

That said, I certainly appreciate the effort put forth to include them a few versions back, and in my own opinion what's lacking is twofold: proper statistical record keeping for teams, players and the association itself, and its feeling separate from the rest of the game in the sense that it passes without reference in the "play-to" schedule menu, news or the events list.

But I fully support the team in putting their time into what they feel is best. It's up to me to use the thing more if for no other reason than to at least send the usage reports (assuming that is true)

Well... To say that the lack of love for the associations is really disappointing would be an understatement.

I understand that there are priorities (all things related to the MLB partnership being one) but to me the ability to use associations is one of the greatest features of the game.
3D or historical Minor league on the other hand...

Associations are slowly becoming the red-headed stepchild of OOTP.

Let's hope split seasons and first past-the-post type of schedule (for instance, news acknowledging winning the pennant would be great) have received some attention at least.

I and others have made this point behind the scenes, but alas, the argument did not resonate with the other people involved.
