Unlike its predecessors, ''Kick Off 3'' had no involvement from lead programmer Dino Dini, and thus plays very differently to other games in the series, having a "horizontal" pitch as opposed to a "vertical" one. Due to these radical changes, the game was met with controversy upon release. Dino Dini released his own football game around the same time for the Amiga titled ''Goal!'', which made its way onto the Mega Drive as ''[[Dino Dini's Soccer]]''.

Due to these radical changes, the game was met with controversy upon release.
