It's just easier to do because it has fewer moving parts which means less processing power is required. In terms of meta-strategy football is also much more complex because it has so many more game states than basketball. In basketball one only needs to consider the score, the time left on the clock, who has possession, and the current foul situation. In football you must account for the score, possession, and time remaining from every possible combination of field position and down and distance. The phrase "apples and oranges" doesn't even do justice to how unfair the comparison is. It's more like video game football is chess and video game basketball is checkers.

I digress, you are right “it’s just too hard” because there are 11 or 22 people to account for. SMH what’s the excuse for cfm?
