puffascruffowitz Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I didn't know about this new feature. Do you mean you can develop a rivalry with another team or another manager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I havent encountered any but i havent getting under anyones skin too much i think The big new feature is club rivalries. You seem to be talking about manager rivalries which have been dynamic for a long time. And no, I haven't experienced any of the former yet...

eye-switcher Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 ok, How do you build up club rivalries then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Just like IRL, I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 This is in the third season already, so clearly doesn't require long saves to kick in. We've played City in the champions league final, and are now predicted to be the two most likely title challengers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 As Arsenal, four seasons in I've put City out of the Champion's League at the knockout stage three times, they have put me out of domestic cups twice, but no rivalry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably there but not visible yet. They are only listed once they reach a certain level. I think City is already a low-level rival for Liverpool, if it grows a bit it becomes visible.

Fancy Gaffot Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 As Liverpool, Man City became fierce rivals by fourth season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belamorte Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 As Hull City, Man City has become a competitive rival, but still no fierce rivals in the year 2027. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorchester Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Maybe it's just because everyone hates Man City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Seb Wassell Posted December 14, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted December 14, 2015 These rivalries are generated (/increased) through close competition finishes. For example, constantly fighting with a team for the title or relegation. Hope that helps. Seb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmithRFC Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 As Rangers I've now got Inverness as a competitive rival, had no idea that they were there until this thread prompted me to check. Nice addition, they've never really been close to taking the title from me though (think they did finish 2nd last year but like 16 points behind) so it seems to have happened rather easily.

andychar Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Can already established rivalries disappear? In the example above with Liverpool and Manchester City, say for whatever reason Manchester City are relegated and the two teams hardly play each other any more. Will that rivalry disappear or will it stay there ready for it to be reignited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Seb Wassell Posted December 14, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hey andychar, It's quite unlikely that the rivalry will disappear. Cheers, Seb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancy Gaffot Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hey andychar,It's quite unlikely that the rivalry will disappear. Cheers, Seb. As I posted earlier As Liverpool, Man City became fierce rivals by fourth season. But just now I visited my team's profile page and Man City are nowhere to be seen. So from fierce competitive rivals they were gone in 2 seasons. Is this a bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
USASoundersFan Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 These rivalries are generated (/increased) through close competition finishes. For example, constantly fighting with a team for the title or relegation.Hope that helps. Seb. Does proximity play a role at all? For example, say two clubs are from the same city but are not currently rivals - would how close they are to each other help improve the chances that they will become rivals, or is distance between the clubs irrelevant when it comes to dynamic rivalries?

dllu Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Isn't it kind of unrealistic that two clubs from the same city wouldn't already be rivals IRL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
withnail316 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Isn't it kind of unrealistic that two clubs from the same city wouldn't already be rivals IRL? Two clubs in the same league, probably. Not at different levels though, I would suggest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hey andychar,It's quite unlikely that the rivalry will disappear. Cheers, Seb. Do rivalries never disappear? What happens over a 200 year holiday game then, will every Premier League team be rivals with everyone else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1985 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Isn't it kind of unrealistic that two clubs from the same city wouldn't already be rivals IRL? Depends on the city. Can't see Chelsea fans caring too much about Dag&Red or Barnet even if the latter may dislike them. Same with Liverpool and Prescot Cables or Man United and Stockport. If they're so far away from each other in terms of divisions (then again if Chelski keep this up, they may be playing Barnet soon )then their will be little to no rivalry there.

Still, I would think it should be easier for Chelsea or Arsenal to build up a rivalry with, say, Dagenham and Redbridge (if they ever got to the PL) than with a club from the north of England...
