Prestige Points
FIFA 2004 Career Mode centres around prestige points which reward you with more training opportunities, more chances to buy players and more respect as a manager.
Individual Training
You can train any of your players individually. To train players it costs prestige points, with better player costing more per training session. Outfield players can be trained in up to any three of six categories per week; Sprints, Shooting, Passing, Heading, Tackling and Technique. Goalkeepers can be trained in up to two categories per week; GK Agility and GK Skill. Alternatively the slots can be left blank at no cost.
Team Physical Training
You can train your whole team physically. To physically train all your players, it costs prestige points depending on which you choose. The choice is Standard Physical Training, Extra Physical Training or alternatively No Physical Training at no cost.
Transfer Market
You can attempt to purchase any of the 10,000 players in FIFA 2004 Career Mode. To bid for a player, it costs prestige points as well as money if your bid is accepted. You can also sell players but must have a sufficient squad with enough players and two goalkeepers.
Team News
You can check up on your team here, all current injuries are listed along with how serious the injury is and when the player is expected to return to action. If you turn the page (press R1) you can re-cap all board objectives for the season. Your target each year will be 1000 prestige points which should you succeed will be added to next season's total. Should you fail in your quest to earn 1000 prestige points you will be sacked from the club. It is possible to lose prestige points, for example being relegated could cost you 400 points. Some examples of objectives including finishing in a certain position, i.e. champions, top half or even not relegated! Other may be to do with positive and negative goal difference. The final page in Team News shows you if any of your players have attracted interest from other clubs. Head to transfer market and highlight your club to negotiate with clubs.
