Playing a different game on Einstein

I've been watching a lot of match video and thinking about how this year's game play will be different on Einstein and in elims compared to in qualifying matches. It seems that teams in qualifying matches were flooding the field with tubes and it seemed that the better hangers would win, unless someone had a working minibot in which case the game was there's. Robots rarely needed to travel far for their tubes and could score pretty much as fast as they could lift. However in most emils I saw that there was a lot less tubes on the field and robots had a harder job of finding tubes to hang. What do you guys think the game on Einstein is going to look like? Will there be a ton of tubes, a few, or none at all on the field. Will teams be to afraid to make a mistake and give their opponent a tube with a bad throw and come to the feeder station instead? Will teams flood the field and just focus on hanging faster? Something else?
