It was also tedious and unnecessarily slow. When you see the first blitzball game, you think, "WOW, I'm going to be able to do that?!" You see people flying all over the place and people swimming at ridiculous speeds. Then when you play, "WTF?!" comes to mind. It's nowhere near as fast-paced as you think and it's more of an RP sports game than a sports game.
