The career mode is engaging and offers a nice progression system, allowing players to start from a lower-tier team and work their way up.
The physics and handling of the bikes are improved, providing a more realistic racing experience once players get accustomed to the controls.
The game can be enjoyable for die-hard MotoGP fans, especially when it is on sale, as it offers a nostalgic experience.

The game is plagued by technical issues, including frequent crashes, poor optimization, and a lack of graphics settings, making it nearly unplayable for many users.
There is no option to exit the game properly, forcing players to use the task manager to close it, which is frustrating and indicative of poor development.
The audio quality is subpar, with bike sounds being described as unrealistic and annoying, detracting from the overall immersion of the game.

The graphics in the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users citing outdated visuals, poor optimization, and a lack of graphical settings as major issues. While some players noted that the bike models and certain environments look decent, the overall graphical quality is often described as choppy, glitchy, and reminiscent of older console titles. Additionally, the absence of customization options and frequent crashes further detract from the visual experience.
- “The graphics are quite nice, if a bit sterile.”
- “Maybe so, but if you compare the in-game graphics of the Losail night race in the rain and the real-life video of the same, you'll find that it's a surprisingly accurate rendition of the actual scene; surface reflections and all.”
- “Overall pretty happy with the game... great graphics, pretty good physics, and decent selection of bikes...”
- “The graphics are so choppy right at the wrong time.”
- “The graphics options are extremely limited (extra fx and hi res textures) though you do get to change the refresh rate and vsync.”
- “A huge downgrade from 2013, the graphics are awful.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with users reporting severe performance issues such as low frame rates, frequent crashes, and bugs, particularly on PC. While some players noted that adjusting settings could improve performance, the overall consensus is that the game is a poorly optimized console port that detracts from the experience. Many recommend avoiding the purchase due to these significant optimization flaws.
- “There's also a basic upgrade system where you collect data cubes each time you set a timed lap per session, allowing you to boost the performance of your team's bike.”
- “For sure the options are not as extensive as in some games, but it's enough to allow balance between performance and image quality.”
- “One thing I think is important to say, like it was in 13, if you are looking for performance, always do qualifying and race. Believe me, it makes all the difference, especially if you are in a weaker team. Starting at the end of the pack and trying to reach the front may be a little frustrating since slow riders will make you lose precious time and create a huge gap with the front riders.”
- “Runs in 8fps, bugs, crashes, not optimized at all, don't waste time on buying and then refunding this abomination...”
- “Game is a poorly optimized console port.”
- “This game is just a waste of money. I can run Arma 3 on my system no problem, this game gets to the last loading screen then crashes, poorly optimized if it even is, waste of money even in a sale, never been so disgusted with a purchase ever on Steam.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising the realistic riding mechanics and overall solid racing experience, particularly for MotoGP fans. However, criticisms include poor graphics and control options on PC, a cumbersome multiplayer system, and a lack of depth in career mode, which may limit long-term engagement. Despite these issues, some players find the gameplay enjoyable and an improvement over previous iterations.
- “Once you figure out how to ride the bikes, this game gets awesome.”
- “From the racing point of view, a decent game with realistic and professional gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is superb and career mode is solid.”
- “Crap graphics and control options on a PC; I've got motorcycle GP games from over 10 years ago with far better graphics, controls, and gameplay.”
- “With that said, avid Moto GP fans will enjoy the authenticity and the actual racing mechanics, but the game has very little depth to keep you interested after a season or two.”
- “The gameplay is fine, possibly even better than 2013's game, but that gets overlooked when you realize that the career mode only has half the riders it's meant to (and the others are 'day one' DLC that hasn't been released now some week and a half after the game was released).”
