Rivalries

[Zeppelin462]

Is there a way to edit rivals of teams? I've been scouring the Teams.xml file, as well as other files in the game, and I can't figure this out. While it looks like there are rivalries attached to teams in scheduling (such as Alabama playing Auburn at the end of every season), I can't figure out how this logic was created.

The scheduling system has these rivalry games built in based on a few long standing games that I researched.

Thanks, Brooks. Is there anyway to pull back the hood on the scheduling system? I'm starting to build out a new, fictional universe, and I just want to avoid some of the janky cross-conference rivalry possibilities that could result from, say, Florida State and Florida being replaced with Detroit and Los Angeles (random, but trying to make the point). I could of course customize the CSV, but would love to see if I can play around with the rivalries you have programmed from within the files.

These are the ones pre-programmed:

g.Add("2|113"); //clem southcarolina
g.Add("1|112"); //fla florida state

g.Add("94|99"); //ucla cal

g.Add("103|106"); //alabama auburn
g.Add("108|109"); //ark tamu
g.Add("104|105"); //miss missst
g.Add("114|116"); //tenn vandy

g.Add("111|8"); //ga tech ga
g.Add("91|95"); //oregon orstate
g.Add("93|96"); //wash wash st
g.Add("97|98"); //az az st
g.Add("115|3"); //kentucky louisville

g.Add("36|40"); //msu penn state
g.Add("42|43"); //minn wisc
g.Add("38|35"); //ohio state mich
g.Add("41|48"); //purdue indiana
g.Add("47|46"); //illinois northwestern
g.Add("37|39"); //mary rutgers
g.Add("5|10"); //nc ncstate

g.Add("27|33"); //kansas kansas st
g.Add("28|31"); //ou osu

Awesome, thank you for the quick reply! This might be a newb question, but where I would I go about editing those?

[brooks_piggott]

these are all built in and can't be updated unless you use a custom schedule

[Zeppelin462]

Thanks again. Kind of a bummer that we can't choose rivalries outside of the custom CSV. Any chance this is being looked at for the 2020 version?

[brooks_piggott]

I can add rivalries for CF20 if there are some i missed. Otherwise a custom CSV will be your best way to control specifics, even in CF20.

[Zeppelin462]

Totally. I'm thinking more for people with fictional universes like mine. Would be helpful to be able to pre-program rivalries as we create our leagues.

Ucla Cal is not a true rivalry. It’s UCLA v usc. And it’s Stanford v Cal. Their are a ton more rivalries. Almost every team in the country has one. My school it’s San Jose St v Fresno St. It would be great to make a rivalry selection a feature in the new CF20 game!
