For point guards especially your player is potentially useless if you can't speed boost...it has nothing to do with cheese and everything to do with how 2K designs their games. This year they're priding themselves on "attributes mattering", so it's pretty important that they give that info up before you use VC...
At a certain rebounding attribute level you unlock certain animations that can allow you to sky for rebounds. Imagine making your player too short and/or heavy and now you don't get those crucial animations. You would have wasted x amount of VC on that character and have to make a new one

. With how money hungry 2K has become I can't support nikkas wasting bread/time on shyt they gonna have to remake
