Could you build this?

Partial Creating a visual 2D soccer field and basic LLM-prompted turns is easily vibe-coded, but building a real autonomous multi-agent simulation with coherent physical movement and coordinated team strategies requires non-trivial game loop and AI logic.

What it would actually take: A realistic soccer simulator requires a discrete or physics-driven simulation engine (e.g., using Python/Pygame or Godot/Phaser) integrated with multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) or hierarchical behavior trees. Hard parts include dynamic pathfinding, collision handling, ball physics, and coordinating 22 distinct AI agents without massive latency or erratic behavior. It requires expertise in game simulation physics, spatial navigation algorithms, and low-latency agent inference.
