Yeah had a play yesterday, and a bit more this morning.

Haven't got to a game yet, but think I like some of the stuff on the UI and the new options a bit better, struggled to get into FM13 a bit (In saying that I did go 8-10 seasons in one game)

Been meaning to pre order this but I've been saving for Napier instead. I whipped out my old copy of FM07 on Xbox to fill the void until I can afford it. NZ Knights are back in action!

Will do my usual resisting and sticking with 'buy it every 2 years' rule. Will lose a few games in FM13, then succumb eventually and purchase the new one.

I got it for $40NZ from ozgameshop, I searched for anyone offering it for sale to NZ when it was first announced. Digital download and got code ages ago :)

Really loving this, I had real troubles with FM13, and got frustrated with things, now players are doing what I want them to. Opposition right wingers were an issue, but funnily enough I made my Left Back more attacking, and now the wingers aren't as dangerous as they stay back on the fullback. 

Now to just improve a couple of players in my lowly club.

Just downloaded the demo for a wee looksy. NZ database looking quite messy. Will probably spend some time on the editor tidying it up and making the ASB Prem.

Half way through my first season with Oxford City in The Skrill North. 3 points off the promotion places playing some decent football.

Fantastic improvement since FM12. Love the new layout. Have been a massive number of additions since 2 years ago. Especially love the tactical overhaul, new staff additions and increased accountability to the board. Once I get this lot into Premier League, I'm sure there will be a lot more features uncovered.

No Kiwis as yet as my scouting range is restricted to England. Like to play as realistic as possible so no Player Search for potential signings, use only my scout reports.
As of now, coming 3rd in The Skrill North, but injuries and a new suspension have required a rethink to formation. Gave a debut to a young 18 year old from the youth team who went on to score 2 goals so have signed him to a short term 5 month deal until the end of the season.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the ASB premiership already in the game, you just have to go into the editor and select it? I think I remember the Central league was there too after I went into the editor and clicked on it. Played with Wests for a bit but got a bit bored as the quality of players was not the best! No disrespect to Wests in real life though, they have a good team. In FM they are rated worse than 7th tier English league players.
