It's actually impressive that there were "no major differences". With a change as big as this it could very easily have caused teams major problems. I agree with others that have posted, the really great things are yet to come. Everyone used this year to get back to where they were (us included) and maybe try a few new things. We had all kinds of grand plans but when it came down to it the added risk of trying something too new this year with all the other changes in the controller was too great. We will be working in the off season to perfect some of these ideas and systems.
