"There's also a maximum advantage an offensive player can have over a defender."
Spoken in the context of a Private League match with a 20 JS player paired against a 1 OD player. We were speculating why the 20 JS player didn't have a much better game, given the easy matchup.
This is very long known (for us long time managers). One of the first BBs gave the info, that after a difference of 3 skills pts, the advantage is not that big anymore. If there was no adjustment, I expect it to still be around that point.
So JS 20 against OD 17 would be the breaking point. If you OD is lower, it makes almost no difference.
The other way is, if you want compete against teams with OD 17, you would need at least JS 14 to overcome the "wall" and everything higher than 14 is taking away the advantage of OD 17.
