Unlike other "mockumentaries" such as. The King of Kong and even Spinal Tap, at no point does this seem like it might be an actual documentary. The script is too over the top and its obvious that these are actors. The makers have tried too hard to get as many little comical hits as they can into each scene that it just becomes "wacky". Good mockumentaries seem real enough that people think they're real or at least question if they might be real. Players falls short of this and sits in an awkward position of not being a sitcom and not being a true mockumentary.
