I only recently purchased 14 and like the improvements I'm seeing. Nothing earth shattering yet for my style of play, but lots of little things. Trade AI is an improvement, I actually got an offer from a CPU GM that was remotely worth entertaining... I still turned it down after about 45 seconds of review... but that's a solid 38 seconds longer than I would have to review any CPU offers in previous versions. The international free agency seems solid. I like the new pitching staff / bullpen setup, even though I rarely sim, it's nice to slot your minor league prospects into more clearly defined roles, apply pitch counts, etc.

I still the CPU signing a lot of ridiculous contracts... but I suppose MLB has plenty of ridiculous contracts as well...

I don't see any of the customization options that the OP is looking for... so that could be a factor for him... But from my perspective, it was a good purchase. As others have said, sometimes it's good just to kick your $40 towards the cause even if you know that you could get by just fine with last year's version.
