The driving is more intense, and when you are down by 20 in the last 10 seconds of the finals, I would rather see robots make a buzzer beater than stop in a certain position to win.
This. Last second action. And while I like the idea of multifunction robots (shoot and hang) the Hail Mary at the end of regular play is great.

I did most of my match watching via the computer and it was much easier to follow the action with only two balls in play.
