I made the twofold switch suggested in a thread a couple weeks ago - set to 21, save, then re-set to my desired 18 and save - with no results. The AI does note on each team's protection list what the new standard is (21 and then 18), but does not deviate from its initial list of 15 players it wants to protect.

So, I'm living with the 15 and auto-protection at 3 years - which still means a few big players escape protection in favor of some 1-stars (e.g., 4-star Al Leiter grabbed in Round 1 by Arizona).

No financials in my play.
