Unless you have some more standardized rules than canon, I expect this to flop. A game ending at near random with the equivalent of 15 goals' worth of points being thrown onto one of the teams, largely independent of the rest of the game, sounds infuriating.

The way it worked in Quidditch World Cup is the was a snitch meter that both team built up through the course of the game but completing passes between the Chasers. When the meter was full the snitch was released. Likely this will use a similar mechanic.

Quidditch as it appeared in the books and movies was basically Calvinball.

Quiddich was always an extremely questionable sport. The game doesn't end until the snitch is caught so its a guaranteed win unless you're more than 150 points behind in which case you shouldn't try to catch it because that will cause you to lose.

I cannot see this flopping. Randomness aside, the brand is too big. Plus, I imagine they will limit the random element as much as possible.

So this instead of Quidditch in Hogwarts Legacy and also essentially a spiritual sequel to Quidditch World Cup?

Unexpected, I still think there will be a Quidditch DLC for Hogwarts but I guess this as a standlone is good for fans too.
