Updated Figures for 2023-24:
Hard Cap: $206,719,500 ($68,906,500 over the cap)
Luxury Tax: $166,478,000 ($28,665,000 over the cap)
Luxury Tax Rules:
If you are over the luxury tax for a sim, you cannot claim in game box score achievements for that sim. It doesn't matter if you then get under the hard cap, that money is dead. All other money is still available to you, just not box score claims for that sim. The automatic script will account for this and won't show achievements of teams above the luxury tax.
Hard Cap Rules:
You have until the trade deadline to get under the hard cap. If you are over the hard cap after the trade deadline, penalties will be enforced. While you are over the hard cap, you cannot accept a trade that puts you further over the hard cap. All penalties are subject to change.
Penalties for first-time offenders include:
- Loss of all other league cash earned for the season
- Loss of MLE and LLE in upcoming free agency
- Forfeiture of your next first round draft pick
- Loss of ability to use league shop for a full season
Penalties for second-time offenders include:
- All first-time penalties
- Your best player will be suspended for the rest of the season and given an expiring contract
