I understand what you say, but I for one am for the feel good part. There are a tons of games that have that drama, those shady and assholes chars, but not many games have the feel good part down as good as this game. I actually was relieved to have Ryker and Charles out of the way. I do love the small type of dramas that the girls have, the insecurities, the family problems etc... but I think the whole Ryker thing was way too much for this. IN MY OPINION I think this game is at its best when is about the feel good and the basketball. Not everything has to be earth shattering dramatic to be interesting. Sometimes it's just good to chill out and feel good. Again this is just my own opinion about.
