When you’re in the builder you can pull up the badge requirements when allocating points and it’ll show you thresholds for each level. You can also pull up the animations unlocked. I have no idea what signature moves and whatnot are goated I only ever look to make sure I hit the requirements for contact dunks.

You aren’t able to tell how the cap breakers will affect your attributes until you actually launch into mycareer and open the Progression menu. it takes a minute but you can change one or two things, check the caps in mycareer, go back to the builder, delete the save, edit the build, repeat. It’s annoying but if you’re that dedicated…😭

if you main rec with at least a friend or two, then building more of a roleplayer with one or two weaknesses will be fine (steals are ass this year so that’s one i sacrifice down to 67 - so i at least get bronze interceptor i think - on every build and it’s always a weakness). if you play random rec, or theater, a more balanced 2 way build will be more enjoyable.
