As for what you are saying about brake mode: it is not that strong. It does provide some resistance to motion, but not alot. Brake mode seems good for allowing the robot to stop on a dime, and also for helping to keep an arm stationary. Break mode may not help much in a pushing match.

The 2nd half of my post was a generic address to the topic as well, not specifically at you (just the initial traction comment). But the brake mode works very well from what I have heard (and determined playing against it) during pushing matches. I don't believe that 116 has ever implemented it though, so perhaps there are quirks that I didn't know.
Regardless, a vast majority of pushing in FIRST does occur rotationally though.
