The graphics in the game have received significant praise for their quality and improvements, with many users noting that they are visually stunning and enhance the overall experience. However, some players have expressed dissatisfaction with gameplay mechanics and controls, suggesting that while the graphics are impressive, they do not compensate for issues in gameplay fluidity and responsiveness.

- “The graphics are stunning, the gameplay feels smooth and realistic.”
- “The graphics are excellent and the in-game tournaments are top-notch.”
- “Dream League Soccer 2025 offers an impressive football experience with great graphics, smooth gameplay, and fun team management features.”
- “The graphics are embarrassingly outdated, with pixelated player models and lackluster animations that make the game feel like it's stuck in the past.”
- “The graphics took a turn for the worst with the latest upgrade. It looks like an 80's Pac-Man now. The ball can hit two of my players in their half and not even one will be activated to control it.”

The gameplay of Dream League Soccer 2025 has received mixed reviews, with many players noting significant improvements in graphics and some mechanics, but expressing frustration over persistent issues such as player control, responsiveness, and unrealistic physics. While some users appreciate the smoother gameplay and new features, others criticize the game for being buggy, unbalanced, and lacking the fluidity of previous versions, leading to a less enjoyable experience overall. Suggestions for improvement include refining player switching, enhancing penalty mechanics, and addressing AI behavior to create a more realistic and engaging gameplay experience.
- “Dream League Soccer 2025 offers an impressive football experience with great graphics, smooth gameplay, and fun team management features.”
- “The gameplay is smooth, the graphics are top-notch, and building your dream team is just so satisfying.”
- “Stunning graphics, realistic gameplay, and intelligent AI opponents make it incredibly engaging.”
- “However, the gameplay is terrible; when the ball is free, it literally switches to the furthest player instead of the player that's so near and standing still. Penalties as well, when I shoot and the keeper saves it, it switches the player furthest from goal rather than staying at the same player.”
- “The gameplay is so bad where the rankings of the players don't even matter; they are useless.”
- “The gameplay sucks. First of all, every time I use the pressure button while the opponent is far away, when my player catches the ball, he passes instead. Second, the passes are so bad; I hate it when I pass the ball, it does not go where I want it, or sometimes my player hits it with too much power. I downloaded the game and immediately deleted it after playing live matches. Please upgrade the gameplay.”

The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming presence of ads that disrupt gameplay. Players report frequent, unskippable ads appearing after every match and during critical moments, such as halftime, which not only frustrates them but also leads to lag and connectivity issues. Many feel that the excessive ads detract from the overall gaming experience, making it feel more like an advertising platform than a fun soccer game.
- “Currently, most in-app purchases, like the season pass and membership benefits, are time-limited and require continuous renewal.”
- “This is a very good game and although there are in-game purchases, the game relies more on skill. I love it because it's competitive. I just think that you should be able to interact with players more and have a friends system in the game to challenge your friends or add players you play against. That would make the game a whole 5 stars, but other than that, it's an amazing game.”
- “The only thing I want is that there are no ads after halftime; only show ads when the match ends for bonuses.”
- “The game suffers from excessive ads, including unskippable 30-second ones that give minimal rewards.”
- “The ads are a big problem—they pop up way too often and completely break the flow of the game.”
- “This game used to be playable, but now it's starting to get boring because of many ads.”

There is a consensus that better optimization is urgently needed to enhance the overall gaming experience.

- “Better optimization is urgently needed.”
- “I don't know why, but this app looks better than its performance.”
- “This kind of performance is unacceptable for a game of this standard.”
