Some ideas from my end below.

For online league play

Fix injury counter for players moved to IR via teamfiles. The counter is always at zero.

Enable control over minor league teams. I realize there might be technical limitations here but there are several GMs in our league who would like more control over their minor league teams.

Option to disable the finances feature. This is causing issues for us while simming, especially the annual finances on July 1.

Not specifically related to online play

Possibility to separate between regular IR and LTIR? Regular IR would remove the player from the Active Roster, but not give cap relief. LTIR would give cap relief but require the player to stay on there for a minimum of 24 days

Player contracts expire on or around June 22, or a temporary increase in the contract limit by, for example, 10 contracts, similar to the offseason salary cap cushion. This would enable GMs to sign draftees with expiring rights during the Jun 23-30 window, without having to move expiring contracts if they are close to the contract limit.

Complete freeze on Free Agent signings between July 1 and the draft, to prevent Free Agency from starting before the draft.

Improved contract extension feature. I have been on about this before and I think there have been improvements in this area in FHM10. However there are still some things to refine. One is that unproven pending RFAs coming off their ELCs often ask for 3-year deals and need to be negotiated into accepting 1- or 2-year term. IRL these players normally get 1-2 year extensions, would be great if this could be mirrored as a default in FHM.

Add full and modified (partial) NMC/NTC. This would add to the realism. Also if it could be possible to add NMCs/NTCs by season rather than for the entire contract that would be great as well, for example star players signing big contracts coming off their ELCs typically have NTCs kick in when they reach UFA age.

Show training camp developments for players in minors/juniors/European leagues. These are currently not shown anywhere, I guess because training camps occur at different times for different leagues.
