Biggest difference is the opposition. There's been no doubling up on our wingers, the deep blocks are not that deep and teams have generally tried to play football. Funnily enough, aspects of control ball then goes out the window, because we've been unable to dominate possession to the same extent, because the opposition isn't giving us the space to control play all the way up to their final third/penalty box.
I wonder if rather than a huge change in style of play it's just about how much teams respect us.
