Many new features were added for this generation of CM games, mainly consisting of graphical/visual changes, gameplay changes, and technical changes to the way the game ran and processed information. The most immediately striking feature of Championship Manager 3, is its new user interface and menu system. It primarily uses a vertical menu bar on the left-hand side of the screen, as well as the traditional horizontal menu bars across the top and bottom of the screen. As well as the new menu system, many more high-resolution background images were added - these are mostly relevant to whatever screen the player is viewing.

There are many small changes and improvements to the gameplay, including an improved match-engine, customizable training schedules, more cup competitions from around the world, a more in-depth tactics system, realistic reserve and youth squads, and improved player scouting. One major new addition is the ability to play [[multiplayer]] games via a local area network (LAN), allowing up to 16 people to compete against each other in the same game "world". This option can also be used to play over the internet. The hotseat mulitplayer mode also expands to allow up to 16 people to play on the same machine.
