Compared to a team like 469 that can plow through teams to get to their smaller sweet spot near the goal, 33 needs the large sweet spot as they cannot depend on getting to a specific location and staying there under defense. 33 was smart enough to understand this and put a lot of time and effort in ensuring their shooter had a huge sweet spot and could shoot fade aways or while being pushed sideways. The same applies to human player loading: 33 cannot depend on getting right next to the human player (and staying there) so they went with the largest possible catch radius. The biggest weakness to an omni drive, the inability to resist being pushed, was down played by 33 because they can still accomplish the game's task without needing to be at one small, specific location.
I see, you're completely right.
