If you're a highly dedicated manager, tracking your rival until the final day and making strategies based on the rival team's progress and moves can lead to a stressful season, as you'll have to wait for the unknown.
I'm a competitive guy and I like stats/records tracking, so I want to go all the way through in every competitions no matter what, and I don't track my rivals until I face them, I believe in my team xD
