Arena Football: Road to Glory scored a 62/100 on Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[2] Jeff Haynes from IGN gave the game a 6.5 saying "Road to Glory is more like a Path to Repetition. The most important omission is perhaps the rejection of this season's Elway Rule, which would do away with the Ironman football and allow for substitution at any point in the game. But rules aside, it's apparent when you pick up this game that there hasn't really been a lot done to change it from last year's title. The same visual bugs are there, the same bland sound is there, and even with the addition of AF2 teams, you're still getting an extremely shallow football experience."[9]
