- “Very basic game substitutions don't work, can't change kicker during the game, 3D graphics are very poor, nowhere near the level of Football Manager, needs a lot of work to get it up to scratch.”

The music in the game has been criticized for being identical to that of its 2005 predecessor, leading to disappointment among players who expected a fresh experience. Many feel misled by the marketing, as the sound effects and intro music have not evolved, contributing to a sense of stagnation in the game's overall presentation.
- “The music is exactly the same as prm2, the game viewed (2D and 3D) seems to be exactly the same as previously, with none of the rule changes over the last decade like time being stopped and playing to 40/80 minutes dead, the defending team having to stand back 5 meters from scrums and not being able to kick the ball out directly if it's been passed back into the 22.”
- “It is absolutely disgraceful, and I feel I have a right as a consumer to be outraged by the fact that this game was promoted and advertised as being fresh and new - the reality is we were all lied to - it's the exact same game from 2005 right down to the dodgy sound effects and the intro music. If you explore deep enough in the installation directory, there are even references left in that point back to the 2005 folder structure.”
