Adding table of certain attributes to map layout?

I am using ArcMap 10.2 and I’m looking for a way to add a table containing certain fields from select elements from a featureclass to my map. Ive tried the add table option from the attribute table, but it doesn’t quite give what I want (the table must be editable to look a certain way).

Are there any options out there for 10.2 like arcpy.mapping.tableview or will upgrading to 10.3 so I can get access to the “graphic table element” function be best?
