Should be a fun watch for season to come Updated Monday, October 19 2015 @ 7:50:09 am PDT

It's even more fun to play it with my best friend, and brother. We both dread the day one of us levels up, and it will happen eventually. Well I guess we don't dread it because it means our team is doing better, but you know what I mean. After spending so much time rebuilding my team, I am finally getting time to look at the other leagues a little. Could you guys post some of your great rivalries. I would like to watch those.

One thing I'm starting to notice is that it seems easier to maintain a rivalry with someone in the other geographic division than with someone in the same one. I had an awesome final season in LL VI with Niagara Falls, however over the past two seasons I've had a much more entertaining rivalry with Tempe as we both won V.1 divisions last season (I won the regular season series, he won the playoff series) and we are both winning our IV.1 divisions this season (split the season series 5-5, each winning 3 games on the other team's home field). Just my experience over a five season time frame, overall same division rivalries may be better.

We've only played heads up once and that was during cup elimination a couple seasons ago. I won that one but we'll see next time. It'd definitely fun to have someone you know playing the game too.
