Hey everyone,

Here is a guide for beginners to unlock the Monthly Xbox Game Pass Rewards Quest for NBA 2K20 where you have to "Earn 10 MyCAREER Total Assists." Depending on your familiarity with basketball, and sports games in general, this quest can be done from scratch in around 15 minutes. Those that are unfamiliar with basketball/sports games will probably take twice as much time or more (depending on how quickly you pick things up).

To begin, you have to create your own player. You begin by starting the MyPlayer Builder where you choose the stats that you want your player to have. So:

1) Choose Point Guard as your players position. The rest of the details (name, handed, jersey number) don't really matter.
2) On the next screen, you choose your skill breakdown. You want to select the pie chart with the largest yellow (Playmaking) portion (8 selections down from the top).
3) On the next screen, you choose your physical profile. This isn't nearly as important, but select the pie chart with the majority in agility (purple) and strength (blue). This was the third selection down from the top.
4) The next screen will allow you to set your potential. On this screen, it's most important to max out your pass accuracy, your ball handle, and your lateral quickness. The other stats you can fill in as you wish but the least important for this guide are: standing dunk, post hook, post fade, and post moves.
5) Once you finish editing your stats, you will want to lower your height all the way down (5'7"). This will increase your lateral quickness even more.
6) Lower your weight all the way down as well (increases quickness again).
7) Increase your wingspan to 75" to increase your steal ability (not super important but helps if you want to attempt steals to speed up the game).
8) Select the Playmaker takeover (helps your teammates shot percentage after you pass to them) and complete your build.
9) Start your MyCareer and do not skip the intro and go directly to the NBA (if it gives you the option). You want to do the tutorial game.
10) You'll immediately get thrown into your first game. Your goal is to get 10 assists, which means passing the ball to someone that immediately scores.
11) Get 10 assists and the quest will unlock. Be sure to check your progress in the game pass app if you hit 10 assists and the quest doesn't pop up for you. I'll post general tips below.

Tips
-A is to pass when you have the ball. Point the left stick in the direction of the player that you want to pass to.
-When your team is on offense and you don't have the ball, press A to "Call for ball" which will get your teammates to pass the ball to you. Sometimes they will refuse but keep moving around to get open (not surrounded by other team) and keep mashing A. You might notice your teammate score in the top right go down if you keep doing this, but that's not important for this quest.
-RT is sprint on offense or defense.
-LT slows you down and puts you in a more controlled stance.
-When on defense, you can let your player score every time if you want to speed things up or you can play legitimately. Hold LT and try to stay near your opposing player (will have an arrow pointing towards the person you're supposed to guard). You can try to steal by pressing X, but you might commit a foul and waste time.
-To have a higher chance of getting assists, you want to take the ball close to the basket by sprinting (RT) by your opponent and towards the basket. This will cause other opposing players to come towards you to prevent you from scoring. This should open up some of your teammates. Press A to pass to them when they're open or when you're guarded.
-In general, only post players will shoot if someone is guarding them closely. You might be able to get a teammate to shoot a 3 if they're pretty open and you pass them the ball, but this is a lower percentage shot and it's better to keep things in the post (near the basket).
-If nobody is open, run the ball back to the top of the key (away from the basket) and then run back inside. Keep doing this until a post player is open.
-If you pass the ball and your teammate starts dribbling a bunch, call for the ball back with A because even if they score, you likely won't get an assist.
-Once your team makes substitutions, your teammates that come in are pretty bad. Don't be surprised if they miss a bunch of shots even if they're open. After a couple of minutes, they'll get subbed out and you'll get your better teammates back in to pass to.
-If the Takeover bar in the top right turns red and tells you to press in on the RS, do it. It will help you with enhancing your teammates' shots off of your assists. You can lose the takeover progress if you turn the ball over.

Notes
-You should not unlock any achievements using this guide

Hope this guide helps a little bit for those that have never played before!
