So pumped up for this! I was still playing with good old FHM3 (550 something hours on it), but it was time for a change. And there's a lot of cool new features I'm looking forward to trying out!
I have a few questions (some very specific) : 
- Is there a setting we can change so the GM contract is not automatically renewed? I rather liked that control. 

- When you say the AI will make more trade offers, I assume the AI will better evaluate the rate of success? The number of times I had an offer for a 1 star player against my 3 star player, one on one... lol  And more draft picks used in trade offers would be nice!
- There was a bug in FHM3 (seemingly present in 4 and 5, as I saw relevent messages on the boards), where if you put a claim on a player on waivers but another team ultimately got that player, the game "counted" that claim as successful towards your number of contracts (if I had 49 players under contract and unsuccessfully tried to claim a player on waivers, the game wouldn't let me sign a UFA because I was at max number of contracts, even though it still says 49 contracts). I eliminated all other possible reasons (like a sign player in the juniors) by trial and error. Is that bug fixed?
