The big difference cor 2014 was that unscored auto balls could NOT have ASSIST points applied to them which was the primary means of scoring that year. So if you missed an auto shot (or 3) you then needed to clear those balls before you could start scoring points in the range that your opponents could. You lost valuable cycle time to playing cleanup for a relatively meager amount of points.
