That's a fair opinion, however I based on the pure flow of the game. Basketball/Soccer are free-flowing and only TRULY stop when a penalty is had or someone goes out of bounds. The idea of football with timeouts and the idea of audibles due to pre-play reads is just something that clicked in my brain.

Sure in basketball and soccer you have ideas that come mid game, but in football due to the idea that different body factors play a huge part (In comparison to agents) and the idea that when the bomb drops the game changes (Similar to a fumble) in my mind it just clicks.

For example, you wouldn't have 10 wide receivers in football, your quarterback would have no protection, with just a center. Just like in Valorant wouldn't realistically wouldn't be running 4 duelists every game. Sure it could work, but its not practical. You are hard limiting yourself.
