3. Improve the AI logic by which it drafts. I see AI teams draft lots of older players with lots of salary, you just haven't seen this in real life.
For 2 and 3....maybe just give me sliders asking me what the AI should prioritize when protecting players, or when drafting players?

Good suggestions! I always play this game starting with an expansion team, and because it doesn't mirror real life, which may be a coding nightmare for the OOTP team, I allow teams to protect anywhere from 27-29 players, and always with four years of service or less, not three. I've done three in the past, and there is so much good, young talent, that goes unprotected, it's not fair really. Plus, it makes the challenge of practicing patience that much more as you build your team through the seasons.
