The gameplay has been criticized for being significantly stripped down from its predecessor, resulting in shallow mechanics and numerous bugs that hinder the experience. Players report a lack of control over match dynamics, ineffective substitutions, and various gameplay issues, leading to frustration and a sense of incompleteness. Overall, the gameplay is seen as outdated and lacking depth, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.
“Actually, I shouldn't say it's the exact same game; it has actually had a lot of features removed from the original that made PRM2005 more enjoyable, such as individual orders and options in the 3D gameplay mode.”
“Actually, I shouldn't say it's the exact same game; it has actually had a lot of stuff removed from the original that made PRM2005 more enjoyable, such as individual 'orders' and options in the 3D gameplay mode.”
“Lots and lots of bugs with very shallow gameplay.”
“Outdated UI, substitutions don't work, no real control over training or even the match itself, no explanation of what is going on, incorrect player positions and statistics, scrum half won't pass the ball until the defense is readily in position, no offloads, no real depth to the gameplay, game doesn't end after 40/80 minutes, terrible bugs, etc.”

The music in the game has been criticized for being identical to that of its 2005 predecessor, leading to disappointment among players who expected fresh content. Many feel misled by the promotional material, as the sound effects and intro music have not evolved, contributing to a sense of stagnation in the game's overall experience.
“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 that point back to the 2005 folder structure.”
“The music is exactly the same as in prm2. The game, both in 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.”
