Other games, the alliance that incorporated defense best into an offensive strategy often prevailed. (Of course, a lot of this is based off of TBA videos / YouTube / Google)
The thing is that in 2008, only two teams were capable of scoring the big points. Barring breakdowns, two hurdlers and a good defender would beat three 3 hurdlers because only two could hurdle at a time. At that point, my point was that the defender was usually better. I'd have to go back to my scouting data, but if I pushed the ball back over the line (and no g22), even twice in a match, it would have a greater impact than a third offensive bot.
