The contract fix is still there, kind of. In the main menu (not in season or in franchise) load up your rosters, go to the player you want to fix in the Roster Control section. Take the player you want to fix contract-wise and swap him with a Free Agent. Then swap them back. This should change their contract.

It doesn't seem to work everytime. In fact, it only worked for me when I swapped with someone on the "Free Agent 3" page, and it couldnt be the same guy. I have no idea how to explain it, but I was working on Markakis and had to swap him with someone way down the list on FA 3. Then, when that gave me a 1 year deal instead of 5, I went back in and had to switch him again, but with a different guy, otherwise his contract wouldnt change.

I gave up after about 2 players.
