Going to be hard to say atm with the change to pancakes. In the past many people were not particularly impressed with it since the rate of pancakes was fairly low with or without the pancake SA. I'd probably wait for some scrimmages to happen so results can be seen.
I'd read through this http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4859779 It's basically a discussion of the changes that came live today that you can look through. Catch has some added comments for the next few pages but beyond maybe page 6 it's just users.
