Manager Options
Profile
The Profile section contains basic demographic information for your human general manager, plus a few options:
| Option | Description |
| First Name | The general manager's first name |
| Last Name | The general manager's last name |
| Nickname | The general manager's nickname |
| Date of Birth | The manager's date of birth. Note: Your general manager's age does not matter in-game. Human general managers cannot die of old age in FHM4. |
| Nationality | The general manager's nationality. This may affect the willingness of some teams to hire him. |
| Current Team | The manager's current team, if any. |
| Break Mode | If the Do Not Disturb check box is selected, when the Autoplay option is used, the player will never be interrupted by news or a message. When selecting this, be aware that you may miss important messages, and if you autoplay past the end of the season, the game will skip past your opportunity to improve your managerial ratings. |
| Play Mode | If the Commissioner Mode check box is selected, the user will be able to edit much of the game's data. |

News Subscription Settings allow you to customize what types of news articles you would like to receive in your News and Mail page. News from specific leagues or tournaments can be added or deleted, and clicking the edit box will allow you to determine which news types you wish to receive: General News, Transactions, Contracts, Game Performances, Accomplishments, Awards, Minor Awards, and Injuries.
