Whilst 13 improved player and press interaction (match engine improvements are gradual year by year and imo do NOT really alter the game - they are JUST cosmetic), the improvements to player and press interaction are (almost as much as the match engine) there to increase the suspension of disbelief more than for any other reason. The poster I was responding to is clearly impressed with small cosmetic changes (as he mentioned about how the match engine now looked) and I responded to his post based on HIS perception of improvements not my own. The match engine has ZERO impact on how you manage. The player and press interaction has an impact - but not a huge one. The core game remains the same.

Quality over quantity.
I'll take that any day. Some games offer high quantity of features but most of them are done terrible. If the some small improvements are done well then it will only enhance the game further like with OOTP 14. There wasn't a big feature list but in my opinion its far better than OOTP 13 which was considered (by some long time supporters) the best OOTP yet.
Also the ME is far from cosmetic, its one of the main reason for the tactical revamp.
