It probably would - IIRC, all but movement was done in menus where you could take all the time you need. And I vaguely remember that even movement had an automatic option.

Personally, I find neither the thought of a carbon copy nor the thought of a menu game very appealing. When I think of Blitzball in FFXIV, I'd imagine something like an underwater swimming area where you swim around and the ball gets passed along via vector based skills that shoot a certain distance in the direction you're facing. Trick shots might fly in a curve, power shots might bypass players, missed shots might be picked up by getting near the ball, tackles maybe as active time event? Something like that.

But that's just me, there's probably a bunch of other good and better ideas on how it could work.
