The game is energy-based. As long as there is available energy, the player can play volleyball games. The game has day-night cycles but it doesn't have any effect on gameplay. In this game, the characters has to be unlocked to play as them. Previously, all characters are unlocked from the start. The player only start with two girls.

This game also has improved user interface. The player can pause the action, speed up the gameplay, change strategies, and summon a guest player.

This game is mainly in Owner mode, first introduced in Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, wherein the player do not directly control the girls. The player only do commands, like set strategy and call timeout. The player, the Owner, do level up after performing certain actions.

Characters do level up as well. Increasing a character's level unlocks her character episodes.

Volleyball games are stat-based. Each swimsuit has statistics such as Power, Tension, Stamina, and Appeal.
