BrightLad5 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Is this possible? I played a game for many seasons and managed to get the team promoted from the BSS to Premiership. The thing was was all my rivals were local teams that were still down in the depths of football obscurity. If its not possible then I think it would be a great feature to put into FM 2012. (bit too late for FM 11 i think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yeah i'm Oxford in the prem for 7 years and no new rivals, rubbish really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGulls Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Its actually a good point and one that would be reletively easy to implement. I have Salisbury City in the Prem and my main rivals are still in the Non League Divisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightLad5 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Exactly. It would help to add a little more realism (Although Oxford and in my case Worcester City in the prem isnt really realistic ) but still, would be great. Maybe it could be judged on a bad relationship you and another long serving manager have; the amount of games you have played e.g. a lot in the cups/league or maybe if you are winning the premier league or are favourites most seasons then the teams expected to come 2nd or 3rd each year could be rivals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankrzyz Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Some rivalries are geography-based, a local derby, those should remain static. But others have to do with competition, year in and year out, in leagues and cups, which could be more dynamic in FM11 or future versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Monkey Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 But then again geographical based rivals can change over years, would still be a rival but might not be as strong. Promotions and relegations change rivalries even for geographical based ones. In my Fleetwood town save. I was in a league with Blackpool and Preston for a couple of seasons, these in real life would be local derbies but since rivalries don't change they weren't classed as that and wish they were Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzamark Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Totally, a few good ideas going about tonight, must be an after effect of the announcement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroxBorough Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Like the idea. Taking the Fleetwood example - no rivalry exists with either Blackpool/Preston but over a period of time (playing each other on a regular basis) some sort of rivalry would grow - at first it wouldn't be in the "fierce" category but I'm sure over time it could get that way, particularly if you play them over a sustained period of time. Title rivalries should be even easier to implement, based on table position and such over a few seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galo Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yes, this does happen in real life and would be nice if it happend in FM as well. Many teams form rivalries with each other after multiple seasons of battling for the championship. Meanwhle, geographical rivalries also fade as one club loses it's reputation and stature. I know many cases where a city would have two clubs with very high reputations throughout the 20s, 30s, and 40s for example. But somewhere along the way one of those clubs lost it's stature and today has only maybe a regional reputation while the other grew and today has Continental reputation. While the smaller club may still view the bigger one as a rival, it doesn't go the other way around anymore. The bigger one now has one or two other clubs that it considers it's rivals. This would be a very realistic feature to have in FM...but just like dynamic league reputations it would have to change very slowly overtime if at all.

Hunt Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Well im Leeds atm and they're litereally the most hated club on the game, so i cant really develop new rivals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Monkey Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Brox, if you talk to some Fleetwood fans I think you would find that they don't really like Blackpool, but Blackpool fans don't mind Fleetwood at all. Hunt, they could.. plenty of Non league teams that haven't started to hate Leeds yet lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightLad5 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 At the moment im in a game with Chippenham Town, one of the rivals i Swindon Supermarine, but Swindon Town is nowhere to be seen...

Salzburg18 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Why do you Brits hate Leeds so much? But this is definetly a great new feature that could be implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quads Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 every brit club should have Leeds, Millwall and Cardiff as fierce rivals. Oh! Actually there were dynamic rivalries in FM07, 95% sure about that, have no idea why it got removed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosson Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I've brought this up before as well. Just think of the way the Liverpool/Chelsea rivalry has developed over the last few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo24 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've seen this idea mentioned before a few times and it is something that should be in the game even though i thought it was. I'm sure that Everton was a rival of mine at Man Utd on FM08 after myself and David Moyes exchanged words over a few seasons and had some good battles. I saw that they had been added under rivals and then once they stopped competing for trophies with me it was removed. I've seen people saying that SI have confirmed this is not in the game but I have seen it happen so i hope this is something they have worked on for FM11.

x42bn6 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Would like this - if we can have previous meetings statistics there should be some way of thrashing this out. I usually just mess around with them manually on FMRTE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dar2000 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Good idea. If you look at Chelsea's rivals, Barcelona are listed stemming no doubt from a couple of fiery clashes in the Champions League over the last few seasons. It should be possible in FM to develop new rivalries through success. Geographical rivalries should maybe be listed as 'derbys' in the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erimus1876 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Why do you Brits hate Leeds so much? It probably stems from the era of "Dirty Leeds" (1968-1974), when no one liked them because they played dirty and kicked their way to winning the league title and dominating the English game for a while (watch the movie The Damned United for an insight into how Leeds were portrayed). Also Leeds (like many other clubs) also had an element of fans who were notorious hooligans throughout the 70's and 80's - this also added to the hatred other clubs' fans had for them.

Krald Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thing is, most rivalries are cultivated over decades or even an entire century, you would expect new rivals to take at least a decade or two to firmly establish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morti31 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thing is, most rivalries are cultivated over decades or even an entire century, you would expect new rivals to take at least a decade or two to firmly establish. Don't really agree....Man Utd and Chelsea didn't really used to be rivals until Abramovic turned up with all his millions, and now they're probably one of United's main rivals behind City, Liverpool and Leeds. Rivalry comes from competing with teams for success really. That develop over about 5 years? Ishh It's a great point, I'm San Marino in Serie A and all my rivals are either in Serie C2 or Serie D or lower, makes no sense anymore. No rivalry games, quite sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler42 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I agree, this should be added to the game ASAP, cause in my Hull City save, me and Man City are always competing in finals of each competition and I myself have built up a grudge against them just from that save, same goes with Wolves, they have caused some upsets against my team! I really want to see this added into the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krald Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 To be honest, I'd consider Celtic the main rival for my St Mirren side, mostly because they've been the only good competition during the last 16 league wins . If dynamic rivalry came in, I'd want it to make them a rival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 We’ve got Dynamic League Reputation, now let’s beg for Dynamic Rivals . Sort of like the Tevez Affair, I think Sheffield Utd hate West Ham for getting them relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooCooKaJoo Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 a real life situation that springs t mind is liverpool chelsea. i never heard of their rivaly before a few seasons ago when they kept getting drawn against eachother in all the cups and whatnot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_numbers Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I dunno though. Middlesbrough have been in different divisions to Sunderland & Newcastle for years prior to 1990, and even after nearly 20 years of EPL, and all three of us being in and around there, Newcastle and Sunderland still don't see us as rivals. Depends where you are - it does take years, and sometimes random incidents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichN987 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Great idea, I think that rivalries do change just on the course of one game in some cases. The rivalry may not be as fierce as one that has "matured", lol, but if the teams have a sour game it will surely be remembered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkas Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 it wouldn't be easy to implement at all. look at what factors could possibly make someone a rival and then have to work how much of a rival that makes them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
