This release, which will be the last update of Championship Manager 3 (with the eagerly-awaited Championship Manager 4 due for release in 2002), will contain all of the fiercely-addictive gameplay which CM fans have come to expect, as well as a host of new features.
“The world of football never stands still, which is why fans of Championship Manager demand these annual updates,” offers Paul Collyer, Joint Chairman of Sports Interactive. “We think that this final update of version 3 will be as close to perfect as can get with our current software and should act as a good ‘appetite-whetter’ for next year’s major release.”
