True, but Phil is right though. Inside offenses do tend to get a lot more assists a game. I have an outside based team and do not get a high number of assists. My Starting PG plays about 32 minutes a game, has a passing level of prominent verging on prolific, and he averages under 3 assists per game. Explain that.

Do you only have 1 stand out passer/handler?

If you have trained passing then chances are you will have Strong/Prof/Prom/Prol passers all over the court... this being the case then everyone will get their fair share of assists.

My PG's are far superior to those of my competitors (in terms of passing) but against Look Inside teams (who train C's) go to the Transfer market buy a decent PG and he will just set up the PF/C's all night long and seem far better....

The funny thing here is the guy agreed with you.

I don't think he expects the player to assist all that much.

look you have to consider you opponents defense

if your strategy and player skill couldnt catch up to their defensive matchup then i probably no matter how many passes your pg makes only a certain amount goes in.

remember if your team has a number of good passers it also makes the assist lower because your moving the ball more

just because the game engine doesnt inddicate the passing as often as it does doesnt mean your pg aint passing the ball

trust me, your guys are doing their best they just cant that open often as much

good point....yeah....so that brings the question, should you pump up JS on your main PG to dilute his passing skill?

indeed, if this PG can't find any players with better shooting skills than his own, he might decide to fire the ball himself instead of passing it away...

We see similar things in these cases:
players with decent jump shot but bad passing tend to take a lot of shots in games.
players with decent passing and poor jump shot tend to have more assist then the PG in a game, unless the PG himself also has poor jump shot and good passing...

The weird thing is that there are players on the the team that are as good at shooting as he is. Another thing is that I always have a good offensive flow. It's funny. Minimal amount of assists yet a good offensive flow.

this looks perfectly normal to me.

he can pass as well as shoot, he has a few other payers he can pass the ball to that also can shoot. So he gives some assists, and he scores some himself... In 24 minutes he can just shoot and pass a limited amount of times ofcourse.
Should there be no other players with good shot, he's probably average between 0 and 1 assist on average, should he not be able to shoot himslef, he'd end up with more than 4 assists on average, probably 7 or 8 in 24 minutes.

It is also normal that the offensive flow is good if you have a balanced point guard that can shoot as well as pass the ball, should he only be able to shoot, it would be easy for the defenders to double team him, or should he only be able to pass, they don't need to guard him that good... So this also makes sence.
HOWEVER! in this game it has not so much to do with it. Offensive flow is calculated on the handling and passing from more players then just your PG, so it depends on the players'passing and handling skills you put in your roster, and has nothing t do with the actual assists your team produces in the game.
