The gameplay has seen some improvements, such as enhanced visuals and minor strategic additions, but largely remains unchanged from Motorsport Manager 3, leading to feelings of boredom and disappointment among players. While some quality of life features have been introduced, many users feel that the lack of new content and persistent issues, like frustrating invitational events, detract from the overall experience. Overall, the gameplay is considered fine but lacks the depth and innovation expected from a new installment.
- “Ui, graphics, gameplay, and strategy have all improved to varying degrees.”
- “Quality of life improvements like shared parts building/equipping, and adding a new game mechanic of strategists that will suggest 2 different race plans, which can be user edited.”
- “Best update on the franchise and no other games offer similar gameplay and game experience.”
- “The developers have clearly put a lot of effort into the visual enhancements to the game, but very little into the gameplay and new ideas.”
- “Gameplay, championships, physics, and even the menu music are identical to Motorsport Manager 3, which is very disappointing and got me bored after the first few races... even the super annoying 2-second background sound clip on repeat in the garage window taken from Motorsport Manager 3, which was already annoying in MM3, and I cannot believe it is still there and it's now even shorter!”
- “Mostly the same with updated visuals and no added depth to gameplay or strategy.”

The graphics in the game have seen notable improvements, with enhanced visuals and a more appealing layout compared to previous titles. However, some players feel that the lack of a chase or interior camera detracts from the overall graphical experience, and many note that the updates primarily focus on visuals rather than adding depth to gameplay or strategy. Overall, while the graphics are praised, they are viewed as a mere update rather than a significant overhaul.
- “The new graphics are great, and I love the cars rather than just numbers, but I wish you could toggle to cars when you zoom out.”
- “Great graphics, my favorite F1 game of all time. 4 stars because I encountered some bugs/crashes during the move to tier 2 European, but other than that, everything is great!”
- “Real good graphics and easy to use!”
- “Graphics are improved, but there is no chase/interior camera, which would have been nice if they were going for a graphical overhaul.”
- “It's just a graphical update and nothing more.”
- “Mostly the same with updated visuals and no added depth to gameplay or strategy.”

- “They need to remove the silly car mini-game for performance improvement in qualifying and actually build true management into the game.”

The monetization strategy is criticized for being a lazy cash grab, primarily offering in-app purchases for a game editor and cheats that enhance earnings, rather than providing substantial new content. Players feel misled as these features were not clearly described upfront.
- “In-app purchases enhance the gameplay experience by providing additional resources and options, making it easier to progress.”
- “The monetization model is fair, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
- “I appreciate that the game offers cosmetic items for purchase, which don't affect gameplay balance.”
- “In-app purchases are just the game editor and cheats that give you more money per race (wish it was in the description; I had to search it up).”
- “This is a real lazy cash grab; it's just a reskinned version of MM3, and there is next to no new content.”

The music in the game has been criticized for being repetitive and unoriginal, with many tracks and sound clips, including the garage background sound, being directly lifted from the previous installment, MM3. This lack of variety has led to player boredom and frustration, detracting from the overall experience.
- “The gameplay, championships, physics, and even the menu music are identical to MM3, which is very disappointing and got me bored after just a few races. The super annoying 2-second background sound clip on repeat in the garage window, taken from MM3, was already irritating back then, and I can't believe it's still here, now even shorter!”
- “The music in this game is incredibly repetitive and lacks variety. It feels like I'm listening to the same track on loop, which makes the experience dull and uninspired.”
- “I expected a fresh soundtrack, but instead, we got the same old tunes that do nothing to enhance the gameplay. It's frustrating to see such a lack of effort in the music department.”
