Crossover play (and crossover defense) will be critical, especially when alliances play a "possession" game rather than "run and gun." Human player loading will take on a bigger role than before, as possession teams often will not risk an intercepted or misfired inbound pass. Due to the recycled, but limited quantity, of game pieces, getting an early lead will be huge. Thus, hybrid will be huge. An early lead forces the other alliance to try and speed up its game to make up ground and forces them to return balls into play faster than they might otherwise.

Great post as always LF. The quote above is a good point. Similar but different strategies will emerge on each field. This will make for a very interesting Einstein field!
