Hi, Probert:

It's generally recommended you switch versions in the early days of the off-season, but I couldn't wait and switched my game over in mid-September. There were no problems, and all my little tweaks transferred just fine.

As Bluenoser said, this has to be a personal choice, but I can tell you that I would not want to go back to OOTP 13 now....and I *loved* OOTP 13.

There's a new playoff screen which summarizes things nicely, there's a team financial screen that lists everyone's budgets, markets and such so it's easier to see if something is starting to go out of whack, and they've somehow managed to make the interface even more clear and easier on the eyes.

A nice addition for a historical league like yours is that, if you have your logos, jerseys and caps formatted correctly (and all those are already out there in the mods section), it should automatically update everything at the beginning of a new year. No more hunting and pecking to make sure you updated everything correctly.

Luck!
