The Good
The graphics were pretty good, and it featured real teams and players, unlike Kick Off 2.

The Bad
The controls were horrible with a standard one button joystick - you couldn't pass accurately, and dribbling was comparatively sluggish, so 'hit and hope' was the only option. Why not include a keyboard option? With 2 button controllers, passing was too easy, and didn't require much skill.

Comparisons with the previous Kick Offs basically go out of the window - the viewpoint is different and the control system has changed. The whole thing smacks of cash-in.

The Bottom Line
Apparently, Steve Screech has disowned this game ot the point where he is ashamed to mention it. Having played it, I'm not surprised. A shameless cash-in from a desperate company. Nothing about the game was suited to the Amiga, and no effort was made to make it suitable.
