Yes, I do.

Remember in baseball pitching is considered defense, and how often do you hear that pitching won the championship?

But seriously both games are highly defensive open field games where the human player inbounds the game object. The goals are in roughly the same postions along the driver stations as well. Most importantly the advantage from a successful autonomous period can make or break the game because of the position it puts you when human control starts. In 2006 you were down points, the auto win bonus and had no balls to shoot when you went on offense in the first period. Compare that to a missed high goal can put you down 20 pts per miss and you have to get the ball off the field to start the real game. All that adds up to a lot more similarity than other other game in my 12 years mentoring.
