Salary / Hard Cap

Salary Cap is set at $45 million.

Hard Cap is set at $65 million.

If a GM goes over the hardcap on FA Days 1-3, the player that put the team over the hardcap will be released back in the FA pool.

If a GM goes over the hardcap on FA Days 4-5, the player/s that put the team over the hardcap will be released back in the FA pool. Those players are unable to be signed by the team for 10 days (end of sim 1). This would normally happen if bidding on multiple min players and all of them end up signing with a team.

Also trades that put a team over would not be accepted (unless im blind and dont see it)

Dang I wish I would have known this before free agency. I didn't offer any MLE thinking it would put me over the cap.

There was no concept of a hard cap previously. So not sure why that would hinder you from offering MLE.

For some reason I was thinking the hard cap was at 50.

I thought the same thing. I was reading stuff in the "Ask a Question" or "Rules" section and there was a discussion about 30 soft and 50 hard. So I thought that was in place. Glad to know now though.
Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion, yeah there were preliminary discussions for a hard cap. But 58 is the official number now, going forward.

Think if it this way, you would either be timeing it just after the first crop of rookies are coming off or just after the first crop come off rookie deals. You would bump 1st time max to 8mil

I wasn't questioning the increase, just wondering when he was planning to implement it.
