Re: Value of defense
The big safe zone that is the outerworks leads me to believe that defense will only be very effective with low/high goal shooters that have to shoot from up close, tall blockers, and potentially ball starvation. I don't think stopping breaches will be very effective simply because a team can just drive on the edge of their opponents outerworks(with bumper inside the volume of the outerworks) to get to whatever defense they want to clear next. In that situation, the defender has no real option but to get out of the way or take a foul. Shooters that line up with the edge of the outerworks too are also protected and can only really be blocked by a tall robot if they themselves are short. I could be wrong but that's how I foresee defense this game.
