Unfourtinately 14 was just before my time. I can't argue that giving free range will still turn to meta builds, but I will say that in NBA 2K there are LOTS of videos and guides on meta builds and many of them are different. What I believe they've done is balanced the attributes, at least better than NHL. Speed is absolutely THE most important stat in this game. If they are able to find a value for speed in relation to every other attribute to the point some people choose NOT to max speed, we could see a lot of diff builds (again, I could be wrong)

X factors being gone would likely be best for the game. This is also something I don't think they will get rid of though, so I just try to discuss how to improve the system. If they must exist I wish they only effected things that attributes can't, a specific move, a specific shot, etc. They need to have smaller impacts and less arcade-like mechanics.

14 basically used a combination of your method with the current one where you have total points to spend and they significantly increased the higher you went. We didn't have a give and take system where you could squeak out a few extra but I remember the points getting near impossible to want around low-mid 90's (which was what the other boost slots were for).

Speed is certainly king in the current product so while we can nickel and dime over a few stat points, I think the biggest hurdle for the team is balancing the AI and stuff around the stats. We are using PS3 era logic against human players who are significantly better/faster/stronger than they once were. I think there was more control with human goalies back then and nothing seems to be able to keep up with our current speed. That said, I absolutely loathe sloooooooow drawn out plays and games
