Currently passing has no incentive to be done outside of competitive matches / being semi forced to since you have a playmaker or phantom style. I think that to incentivize it you can implement the following ideas:
-
Increase the reward for assists. Scoring a 2 gives 15, a dunk gives 35, a 3 gives 25.
For assists, this should be: a midrange assist gives 25, a 3 gives 35, a dunk gives 40. -
There should be a new line of quests which incentivize passing that award the player with one time rewards. Ex: Get 10 assists in 1 game -> +3 lucky spins. I can see these being for multiple things (dunks, 3s, passing, ankles, etc.) but I think playmaking should have the highest tier of these rewards to further incentivize it.
-
As a final way to incentivize passing, scoring gives +5% awakening, an assist should give +8-10% (idk if 10% is too much) so that passing has virtually no downside unless you just want to be on the scoring leaderboard.
