Rivals? Oh, that mode got shelved. Time to hunt down new opponents!
They phased it out! Rivals mode just wasn't as popular as other features, so they decided to focus on improving the main gameplay.
I miss Rivals too! But don't worry, there are still plenty of other ways to challenge your friends and random players.
