Scouting is already on.  Everyone has the same scouting accuracy - so you won't know exactly what ratings a player has, and your ratings may be different from another GM's ratings.

Serious question - How do these two go together? Asking for a friend.

It's an accuracy 'range' for your scouts, but the individual scouts are still different. So like, say we each can see 84% of a picture, that doesn't guarantee we each see the exact same parts of said picture.

Yup, this is right.

REMINDER THAT THE NEW HARD CAP RULE IS IN PLACE NOW.  IF YOU ARE OVER 100m AS OF SIM 1 YOU WILL HAVE YOUR BEST PLAYER AUCTIONED.

Yes, you can be over 100m in the offseason as long as you are under by sim1.

And for clarification, you have have a cap of $100,000,000 with $6,000,000 of unused exceptions, correct?
It may show in the system as $106,000,000 total.

Yes, unused exceptions do NOT count towards the hard cap.  Stupidest thing in fbb3.

One more note - the hard cap is OFF in the game (this allows people to go above 100m because of the stupid "unused exceptions" placeholder, so there is a good reason it was turned off).

THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU HAVE TWO BIDS FOR TWO OF YOUR GUYS AT 20m EACH, AND YOU ARE AT 80m, THEY COULD BOTH RE-SIGN AND YOU WOULD BE AT 120m AND OVER THE HARD CAP.

You will need to be much more careful about the way that you make bids as you get close to the hard cap.  Of course, if you go over, you can always trade to get under the hard cap, but I just want everyone to be aware that this can happen now.

So I'm sitting here immersing myself in the rules to make sure I'm not missing anything and I come across this thread, contradicting the stickied thread's hard cap rules in the most devastating way imaginable. I really think the stickied thread needs updated,as this is a major penalty and I know at least one dude whose entire tenure as GM has been influenced by the mistaken belief it worked as described in the sticky. That dude is me, now on the eve of popping my free-agency cherry.

While I"m here looking for current information, anyone able to guide me to a definitive source on the MLE? Feel free to send me a PM with a link or some details like: who exactly is eligible to use it, is it $4.5mm or $6mm, can it be split, anything else I should know, etc etc. There's a lot of conflicting information floating around between FBB2 stuff and FBB3 stuff and other miscellaneous changes, so I just want to make sure I'm up-to-date.

Many thanks friends.

6m, anyone can use it so long as they enter FA within 6m of the softcap (so 74m+), it can be split, it DOES COUNT AGAINST THE HARD CAP IF YOU USE IT, but the 6m unused placeholder that is on your team's sheet as "unused exceptions" does NOT count towards the hard cap.
