The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the fun mechanics and improvements in 3D gameplay, character customization, and engaging interactions. However, criticisms focus on the shooting animations and mechanics, which feel repetitive and lack realism, suggesting that adjustments are needed for a more polished experience. Overall, while the gameplay is generally enjoyable, there are notable areas for improvement.
- “The gameplay is fun and on par with other installments.”
- “Fantastic game that has seen massive improvements with 3D gameplay and interesting touches like character customizations and matching responses to messages sent by the player, making this game very involving and unique.”
- “I like the gameplay; the shooting meter just needs a little adjustment, but besides that, it's a great game.”
- “The game is nice, but ACM 23 is better in my opinion. The shooting animations and the models are goofy and feel really off. There are no physics; for example, if I shoot over the defender, it uses the same animation repeatedly. If the ball hits his head, he will just stand on top of the ball. There are no blocking animations, so you can just shoot over anyone if you time it right. Overall, the game is fine, but the 3D gameplay ruins it.”
- “The shooting mechanics could use some work.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players feeling it resembles a cash grab due to the release of a new game rather than an update. While the game is enjoyable and offers fun gameplay, the presence of ads and the push for spending to unlock additional features have drawn criticism. Overall, players believe the developers could improve their approach to monetization.
- “While the concept of adding 3D elements to the game is much appreciated, it should've been added to ABK24 or a later update instead of making an entirely new game. Plus, the character customization left much to be desired. I truly enjoy your games, but this was just an utter cash grab in my opinion. I reiterate my opinion, you guys can do better.”
- “Love it... ads suck... not spending money but fun... spending unlocks more.”
