Would anyone want Editable Rivalries?

This has been a huge point of interest for me since the inception of Teambuilder a few years ago. Currently, Rivals for all teams are fixed and you cannot add or remove rivals in the game. Also, if you add a teambuilder team to the game then that team will take over the rivalries of the old team it replaced.

What I suggest for EA to do, and I think it would be an easy update in the game, is to allow you to add or subtract your schools rivalries at the end of each season or at the start of a dynasty. With a set maximum if need be.

Would this interest anyone else?

This is like saying do you want a million dollars? I think a lot of people want this, mainly for their teambuilder schools.

I was not sure if I was the only one completely annoyed with this in my dynasty.

The reason I suggest to make it part of the off-season options is because in my Dynasty last year I started to play Notre Dame every year with my TeamBuilder Georgia Southern school and it was the game I was most excited about and 4 of the 7 times we met it became a "top 5 all time ranked matchup" in the game and additionally the winner of the matchup went on to compete in the BCS Championship game. (I won it twice in 7 seasons ND won the rest).

Sadly I was stuck with the two rivalries the game recognized due to who I replaced when I started my dynasty with my teambuilder team.

I also think, say for instance you have a school like UGA who is already in the game and you have a few years of last second finishes against a team like Southern Cal in OOC play, you should be able to add them as a rival as your dynasty progresses.

Or somehow have users/cpu send a request (ncaaa 11 with the conference invites) to have a rivalry with the each other, if accepted it impact school and program prestige.

I like this as well, but i'd rather have complete control.

Good idea though!!!

I always felt like there should be something like dynamic rivalries. The game should recognize series and all time matchups you have with a particular team and adjust the rivals accordingly. But I like the idea of manually setting them as well.

why would anyone want this? it's obvious that RECE DAVIS and heisman challenge are much more important

I want this feature as well. If they do put this in, make rivalry game more memorable. Make it exciting and emotional.
