Granted there will be multiple opportunities to ball hog in a match, vs. the end-game aspect of ramps. But the strategy negotiations between alliance teams will be similar.

Negotiations are one thing, but I think this game plays differently in that there are constant decisions throughout the entire match whether or not to pass on multiple scoring opportunities in lieu of your partners.
