Gameplay is generally enjoyable and fun, particularly once players acclimate to the mechanics; however, it suffers from repetitiveness after a few seasons and is marred by frustrating mechanics and game-breaking bugs. Some users have experienced frequent freezing issues, detracting from the overall experience, leading to mixed recommendations. Despite these drawbacks, there is potential for improvement through future patches.
“The game is very fun when you get used to the game mechanics; there are still some game-breaking bugs, however, I imagine they will be patched out in due course.”
“Overall, a fun game with lots of major frustrating mechanics.”
“The only drawback is that the gameplay can become repetitive after a few seasons.”
“Unfortunately, these mechanics are a major part of gameplay, so there's no ignoring them, and I can't recommend this at any price.”
“This one has better graphics and I enjoy the management side a bit more; however, in about 5 hours of gameplay, it has locked up/frozen on me at least 5 times, which has made it much less enjoyable.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered better than its predecessor, but players express a desire for more visual elements, such as an isometric 3D view to enhance the management experience. However, technical issues like frequent freezing detract from the overall enjoyment of the graphical experience.
“This one has better graphics and I enjoy the management side a bit more.”
“It would be cool if it had more graphic elements, for example, showing an isometric 3D view of how the academy develops with the additions of clay courts, pool, etc. Maybe even see your players training on the different courts in a bird's eye view.”
