Fantasy Team Mode

A big new update with LMA Manager 2004 is the new Fantasy Team mode. This joins the Full Game, Quick Start Expert modes and Challenge Mode. The player can create a name for their new club, a country, a stadium, a kit and a full squad. The player then picks a league and is given the amount of funds that will balance with the league you pick. One lower level team is then removed from the league and you take their place and battle out to win some sliverware. Additional countries can be unlocked to be played by playing through some of the Challenge Mode challenges. The Fantasy Team mode is a feature that continues throughout the rest of the series as it turned out to be a popular new feature, even if the mode is quite difficult and requires a large time investment.

Leagues

The number of playable leagues continues to be the same from LMA Manager 2003, which was also the same for LMA Manager 2002. Currently this is the list of leagues that you can play:
