Hi,
I know the ability for the end user to export data has been discussed a lot on the stream feedback.
The primary argument from the dev team to not have data exportable is that for online leagues this could lead to mining for data to find a 'cheat' in the game.
Whilst I understand the reasoning I disagree with this statement. As an admin in an online league CSFL we really want to enrich the DDSPF game and league with adding more advanced stats and allow the end user to show their work. At the end of the day the vast majorioty of GM text GM gamers are data nerds and we want the ability to export data from game to produce whizzy datasets and charts. A few example of what we have achieved with manual data entry can be found here:

Plus many more I would be happy to share via slack.
I agree that some leagues and players may not want this feature but I would ask the dev team to explore the possibility of switching on more exporting functions like OOTP. You can allow the end commissioner to control the adbility but adding it as an on/off switch on their UI dashboard.
I can't stress enough how much the online community wants the ability to export data and stats in a far easier manner than the current game allows.
