For a game like this one, I like having the option to switch between the two mid-match - dip into field centric for fine adjustments and robot centric for long sprints. But this of course requires even more training to be good.
With a bit of feedback control, you should be able to assign a button on the controller to "sprint mode" where driving is still field-centric, but the robot always drives with the front forward. I haven't tried it before, but that should give you the sprinting speed of robot-centric with the ease of control of field-centric.
