Gameplay in this title shows promise with immersive features and polished throwing mechanics, but is marred by significant bugs and inconsistencies that disrupt the experience. While some players enjoy the fun mechanics and potential for multiplayer, many find the gameplay too easy to exploit, lacking depth and refinement, particularly in passing and AI behavior. Overall, the game has a solid foundation but requires substantial updates and improvements to reach its full potential.
- “The gameplay is great and is probably the best football VR sim out there and worth the 30 dollar price tag.”
- “Good gameplay options to keep you interested (season games, drills, practice, etc.).”
- “The throwing mechanic is very polished and actually goes where you throw it.”
- “Was a decent amount of fun at first, then it got old quickly, and the lack of updates to the AI or any mechanics ruined this game.”
- “There are quite a few bugs in this game that completely destroy any sense of gameplay. If you call a hurry-up, sometimes your players will just stop where they were at the end of the last play and set for the next play, completely randomly spread across the field.”
- “So much potential let down by awful passing mechanics.”

The game's atmosphere is highlighted by an exciting stadium environment and enthusiastic crowd chants, creating a fun experience. However, some players find the audio quality of character interactions lacking and feel that the crowd dynamics could be enhanced with more immersive events.
- “I don't think there's much that compares to the stadium atmosphere, with the crowd chanting.”
- “Extremely fun, the atmosphere is incredibly good.”
- “My only complaints are that the offensive coordinator is annoying as heck; mute him when you get the chance. It sounds like everyone is talking into an awful mic, especially Lamar, who has the added benefit of sounding like he really doesn't want to be recording the lines. Finally, the crowd atmosphere is a little lackluster; I could have wished for some more stadium events to happen to get me more immersed.”
