You could skip the caps on jumping/stamina and be fine, but I have seen real results from very similar builds by doing what I recommend there (jumping is questionable...haven't seen huge gains between 74 and 78). I might cap strength instead. Strength at 61 vs 50 makes a huge difference in pass and run defense. See: difference from S24 to S25 in this dot
http://goallineblitz.com/game/full_player_stats.pl?player_id=1774994&playoffs=0 as that was the only change in the build during the offseason. He deflected 50% more passes (from 21 to 30) and missed 10% less tackles (from 28% to 18%). I would also add that he moved up from CB3 to CB2 during that time, making the improvements that much more meaningful.
As a result of saving SP by not pushing jumping/stamina you could put AEQ into percentages (AF% is chronically underrated for high-vision builds IMO) and push your SV/SB with the SP saved, but are you going to tell me that a high level safety with his build would benefit from leaving SV/SB at 1? Regardless of what he does, I would argue that those two
must be at least 9. Another option would be investing heavily in FS and CD, which is nice for a safety with <90 agility, while still putting AEQ in SV/SB. Please contribute to the forum instead of just flatly stating that I am wrong. There are multiple ways to build a dot, how would you do it?
