What is your gamertag/PSN ID?
Date/time issue occurred 7/23/24
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Dynasty
Summarize your bug No protected rivalries when setting custom conferences. Rivalry games get moved throughout the season or are eliminated altogether, even when both teams in a rivalry remain in the same conference.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? move teams in custom conference feature and observe generated conference schedules
What happens when the bug occurs? rearranging teams into custom conferences eliminates annual protected rivalries. as Wisconsin, reverting to a 14-team B1G resulted in: -no Wisconsin-Iowa game in Y1 or Y2 -no Michigan-Ohio State game in Y1 or Y2 -no Wisconsin-Minnesota game in Y2 among likely other similar scheduling errors (I didn't check every team)
What do you expect to see? Protected rivalries should remain in conference scheduling or be toggleable. it's ridiculous in the context of college traditions that rivalries played annually for 100+ years aren't baked into the system. players shouldn't have to revert to divisional scheduling to guarantee games against their top 1-2 rivals.
