IIRC Joanne stated in interviews that she intentionally made the game beyond uselessly broken on purpose, to spite football fans or whatever. She is, very fundamentally to her person, a spiteful bitch.

Further proof to the stupidity of this: in the recent video game, ya can't even play quidditch. The feature doesn't exist, because the game would be literally unplayable.

Quidditch World Cup for the xbox was actually really fun. But then, I say that as a former quadball player. Quadball players are mostly trans allies. You're not allowed more than 4 people of the same gender on the field at once, so having enbies in your team gives a tactical advantage in terms of flexibility. They changed the name from Quidditch to Quadball after Rowling started being openly horrible to trans people.

She's full of crap. She clearly didn't understand sport when she wrote the first book.

I'm 96% sure this is an ad hoc excuse she came up with when faced with criticism.
