Overall, the graphics of the game have received positive feedback, with many users noting significant improvements over the previous version. While some players appreciate the visual enhancements and find them appealing, others express disappointment over the lack of customization options and occasional performance issues, such as lag and crashes. Despite these concerns, the graphics are generally considered a strong point of the game, contributing to an enjoyable gaming experience.
- “I absolutely love this game, graphics and mechanics all included.”
- “A bit slow at times... but... the graphics and involvement have improved quite a bit since the first version of this game... just as fun as before but prettier to look at.”
- “Super fun, graphics are great, I love this.”
- “Its the same exact game as 1 except less options.... now it seems like certain weight classes only come in male or female you can't customize your fighter's look except for hair color. All the hairstyles are men's cuts. Other than the graphics being slightly better, there is honestly nothing new or better about this game and you lose connection all the time for no reason. Honestly, just play the original.”
- “The graphics are terrible, no crowds, terrible animations as well.”
- “Same game as before, they just ever so slightly improved graphics and removed female fighters.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the lack of invasive ads while others criticize the frequent technical issues related to ad rewards and the overall reliance on in-app purchases. Many users feel that the game leans towards a cash grab model, with high prices for upgrades and essential items locked behind paywalls, leading to frustration over the balance between gameplay and monetization. Overall, while some enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend, others find the ad system and pricing structure problematic.
- “No ads forced on you, but they are there if you would like a boost.”
- “Love that there's no ads unless you want bonus gold.”
- “It's enjoyable; it doesn't make you feel like you need to spend money like other games to get ahead. There's no ads; it's a grinding game. Best game I've played in a long time.”
- “Finally was able to update and the game is fun but super buggy. I'm continuing to have issues when watching ads, and it's gotten considerably worse. Sometimes the ads kick you directly to Google Play without consent, and then you have to reload/login to the game, which voids the viewed ads rewards, basically stealing time from me.”
- “Everything is plastered behind a massive paywall. Most in-app purchase items stay within the price range of $0.99 to $9.99, but then eventually exceed in price up to $10.99 to a whopping $99.99. It's overpriced overkill, in my opinion.”
- “Cash grab! You can't teach your fighters skills to win unless you pay to upgrade your gym, such as defense skills.”

- “Finally was able to update and the game is fun but super buggy. I'm continuing to have issues when watching ads, and it's gotten considerably worse.

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the inclusion of a story mode and missions that enhance gameplay, but expressing frustration over bugs and glitches that hinder progress. While some find the narrative engaging and the quests enjoyable, others feel that the story could be deeper and that the gameplay needs improvement to maintain interest beyond the storyline's completion. Overall, the story is seen as a strong addition, albeit marred by technical issues.
- “Ok, I played MMA Manager 1 from day one on and off, and I loved it. But y'all did a great job with this one! Even with a tutorial, I still wish I could make my own fighter. The addition of a story mode is perfect!”
- “The game is great now that they included a story quest. The professional fights sometimes feel unbalanced, but the story adds depth to the experience.”
- “Been playing for a while, and with the new update on 8/17/22, I'm really loving the story mode.”
- “Having to get 4 fighters to 200 skill points in all their base skills quest is too early and it takes a long time to do since you get that quest when your guys are closer to 50 in everything.”
- “Because of the bug, it took me longer to finish a quest when it could've been done within an hour.”
- “I wanted it to be good and it was good but there were so many glitches.... if it wasn't my mission not registering its completion until I have to contact support, it's my fights not getting the experience they trained for, or it's if I go into the social tab the game freezes permanently, or even how if I claim a mission reward my game closes.... I'm being nice by giving a 2-star rating, summary... great game executed very poorly!”
