Re: 2008 Ultimate Alliance

What people on this thread seem to be missing is the inevitable outcome of defense. At the moment people seem to be scared of it and some teams are not even playing it and just running laps. If you watch the matches with scores in the 120s and above defense is almost unseen.

The only regional i really saw any defense was Florida and from that you can see what just playing keep-away with a ball can do to shut down a good hurdler.(especially launchers)

anyways back on topic I believe that the ultimate alliance is going to be one who has 2 (or 3) good hurdlers and one that can herd (the opponents) ball and has a good drive train for pushing matches and blocking.
