Aye, I hear you about the issue with the FA. But when you say negative feature, do you mean the F.A. in general (Its design)? Or the issues that have been plaguing it? Because if you don't like the F.A. as a feature I think it'd be useful know what part of it's design you dislike. :/
No, my point is that the Penalties bug is the negative feature. I was wary of Associations at first, but got to like it once I got in with an Association that IMO, had the spirit and intention of Associations down pat.
