2. 🚫 Analysis of Not Recommended and Average Pass Styles
| Pass Style | Evaluation & Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Basic Pass (Fundamental Pass) | This is a style I dislike so much I never want to use it again. |
| Giannis (Giannis) | It's okay, but I didn't feel the need to keep using it. |
| LaMelo Ball (LaMelo Ball) | I liked it most in Season 1, but after the patch, jump passes and one-handed running passes came out too often, so I stopped preferring it. Outlet passes are also not good. |
| Paolo (Paolo) | I heard good things, but didn't feel the need to try it myself. |
| RJ Barrett (RJ Barrett) | I have no intention of trying it. |
| Devin Booker (Devin Booker) | It's pretty good, but not worth investing 93 pass accuracy. (Jalen Brunson with 90 pass accuracy is better) |
| Jimmy Butler (Jimmy Butler) | It was good early in the game, but the animations got worse after several patches. |

3. ✨ Detailed Analysis of Recommended and Preferred Pass Styles
| Pass Style | Evaluation & Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Mike Conley (Mike Conley) | One of my favorite pass styles, requiring 95 pass accuracy. Definitely 'GOAT' tier. |
| None (None) | Very good, at least in the top 5. |
| Cade Cunningham (Cade Cunningham) | It was 'GOAT' tier early on, fast and good, but it became too common. Still good. |
| Steph Curry (Steph Curry) | One of my favorite pass styles, only requiring 82 pass accuracy. The hook pass (throwing overhead or wide swing pass) is excellent. It fits the 'drop and kick' play style very well. |
| Luka Dončić (Luka Dončić) | It's better than last season, but two-handed passes aren't good. Lob passes and alley-oops are excellent. |
| DeMar DeRozan (Demar DeRozan) | Not flashy, very simple and efficient. I used it in a video where I got 30 assists. |
| Anthony Edwards (Anthony Edwards) | I don't like his real-life passing, so I have no intention of trying it in the game. |
| De'Aaron Fox (De'Aaron Fox) | Very good, and the pass animations are cool. I've heard a lot of good reviews. |
| Darius Garland (Darius Garland) | It was my favorite style last season, and it's still very good this season. It includes hook passes, though not as often as Curry's. Requires 92 pass accuracy, highly recommended to try. |
| Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) | Much better than last season, but jump passes are not good. |
| Tyrese Haliburton (Tyrese Haliburton) | Full-court bounce passes, skip passes, and hook passes are very good. It's been used too commonly for the past two years, but it's still very good. |
| Harden (Harden) | I used it once and immediately removed it. I didn't like it at all. |
| Kyrie Irving (Kyrie Irving) | I removed it after one game. It wasn't fun and I didn't like it. |
| LeBron James (LeBron James) | It's known to be good for outlet passes, but I personally don't prefer it. |
| Magic Johnson (Magic Johnson) | It's fun to use, especially for tall builds. There are many overhead passes, but they feel natural for tall players. |
| Jokic (Jokic) | Outlet passes are good, but from a playmaking perspective, I don't like other aspects. |
| Damian Lillard (Damian Lillard) | It was just okay. Not bad, but not particularly good either. |
| Tyrese Maxey (Tyrese Maxey) | Very good, and you can get a lot of value even with low pass accuracy (which I personally consider low). |
| Donovan Mitchell (Donovan Mitchell) | I haven't tried it, and I'm seeking community opinions. |
| Ja Morant (Ja Morant) | Very good, and throws a lot of flashy passes. It's fun to use even with 75 pass accuracy. |
| Chris Paul (Chris Paul) | Not as good as last season, but still decent and worth trying. |
| Rondo (Rondo) | Passes are fast, and the flashy passes I disliked early in the season have improved. |
| Austin Reaves (Austin Reaves) | I was looking forward to this new pass style, but the first pass was too slow, so I immediately removed it. |
| Domantas Sabonis (Domantas Sabonis) | Very good and efficient, especially excellent for outlet passes. Worth trying if you're a big man. |
| Alperen Sengun (Alperen Sengun) | I rate it the same as Sabonis's pass style. |
| Ben Simmons (Ben Simmons) | Passes are very fast and powerful. They go out like a 'rocket'. |
| Jayson Tatum (Jason Tatum) | I won't try it because I'm afraid of accidentally shooting. |
| Victor Wembanyama (Victor Wembanyama) | I don't remember if I tried it, and I'm seeking community opinions. |
| Jason Williams (Jason Williams) | Along with the basic pass, it's my most disliked style. It's too flashy, leads to many turnovers, and even simple passes go out strangely. Good for clips, but you have to accept the turnovers. |
| Trae Young (Trae Young) | Always efficient and good, includes hook passes and excellent skip passes. |
