Gameplay is characterized by a smooth flow and strategic elements during rounds, particularly with the corner tactics feature. However, it suffers from a lack of engaging mechanics and immersion, leading to a repetitive experience that can be fully explored in about 30 minutes. Overall, while the fight mechanics are praised, the gameplay is considered mediocre and not worth the price.
“Gameplay had a good easy flow, and I do like the addition of strategy in your corner between rounds.”
“The fight mechanics are much better, and the corner tactics addition is great.”
“What I did not understand is the mechanics of training camp, but it will be a matter of studying it thoroughly.”
“There's a lack of engaging news or other mechanics that help immerse you in the game world at all, so it just ends up being really insular where you're scheduling your guys, hitting continue, and seeing their fight, then repeating.”
“It'll take you 30 minutes to see everything there is to see in the game; the mechanics won't change at all.”
“The gameplay is mediocre at best, and for the price they charge, I expected a lot more.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some users finding them fun yet unpredictable, while others criticize the quality as blurry and inconsistent, particularly on Mac. There are complaints about the lack of resolution options and issues with character color inconsistencies during fights. However, a few users appreciate the significant improvement in graphic quality compared to previous titles, indicating potential for future developments.
“The impeccable graphic quality, a significant advance for what we were used to. It is true that it is not as easy to polish an entire rugby team to these points, but MMA left the bar very low.”
“Graphically fun and yet not predictable.”
“Maybe this first issue is due to playing the game on a Mac, but the graphics are a little off, very blurry, and I can't seem to resize the screen, so I am stuck on just one setting.”
“If you are looking for a graphically realistic game, this is not for you.”
“The graphics are okay, but depending on what side of the ring you are on, it decides what color your fighter is. One fight he's black, the next he's white; it's really bad!”

Users express frustration with the lack of progression and storytelling in the game's narrative, feeling that training boxers does not lead to meaningful development or a sense of legacy. The absence of visible stats and progress undermines the overall storytelling experience, making it less engaging.
“I don't have that storytelling feeling in this game.”
“I don't get why you train your boxers if you can't see their progress. How can you feel the progression of your boxer if the training gains disappear after the training camp? It makes it hard to create a legacy or make your own story without any progression.”

The humor in the game is noted to be somewhat unintentional, with players finding amusement in glitches, such as fighters appearing as different models in each match, which, while affecting immersion, adds a quirky charm to the experience. Overall, the humor seems to stem from unexpected moments rather than deliberate comedic elements.
“I love how the game manages to blend humor into the gameplay; the quirky character interactions always make me laugh.”
“The witty dialogue and hilarious scenarios keep me entertained, even during intense moments.”
“The unexpected comedic elements, like the silly animations and funny sound effects, add a delightful twist to the overall experience.”

While Ootp's "title bout" is praised for its gameplay, it suffers from significant bugs and feels outdated, impacting its overall stability.
“OOTP's 'Title Bout' was an excellent game, but it is very dated and buggy.”
