Individual player assists are way down, but team assists are actually up. Just loooking at things real quickly it seems team assists are up about 2-2.5 per game while there is a major drop off for the individual assist leaders. For example in Wooden which is working on the old engine the assist leader in D3 is getting 9 a game, in D2 it's 6.8 and in D1 it's 6.4. In Tark it's 5.3, 5.1 and 4.9 while in Phelan it's 5.8, 5.3 and 4.4.
