All sports like soccer: hockey (ice and field), polo, water polo, lacrosse, etc., have that same dynamic since they all put restrictions on how a player may enagage the ball/puck. There is either an implement required or there is a restriction on how the player may use their body. Of course it's going to be harder to score than in football or basketball. At least baseball has the near impossible task of hitting a rock thrown at you at 90mph with a stick to make it challenging.
