I highly doubt the player could last in div IV so we are looking at div I, II and III.
Which means we need to check 21 leagues per country.
So 336 teams per country.....ummm GL.

Maybe check all leagues and just look at league leader boards so we could see standout players?

I guess I should be honored that I trained the #1 best player in the world, but I am just annoyed that having such a good player doesn't really help a team that much.

I had to sell him because he couldn't even keep me in division 3.

Would Lebron James or Deron Williams ever lose even a single game in a low level league like that? They could easily score 75 points a night against Division 3 competition, so there's something that needs to be done about the balance here. The world's best player should be able to single-handedly propel his team to at least the country's second division, regardless of the talent around him. After all, if Allen Iverson could get to the NBA finals all by himself, why couldn't Joe Bronson do the same?

I could buy a guard for 1/10 the salary of Bronson and he'd give me 90% of the performance level while saving me tons of money. That shouldn't be the case. A guy getting 200000+ a week should be worth 200000+ a week. Otherwise, the salaries need to come down a ton.

Agree!

Why should it be that way though? After all, if the Lakers were playing the LA Lightning with Kobe and their 4 worst players (and nobody on the bench), the Lakers would still win by 50. And the Lightning has players like Lamond Murray, Bryon Russell and Tyus Edney. Kobe would still destroy them and easily be able to win a game.

It wouldn't be boring, it woud be realisitc.

Division V is like the league I played in at the local rec center. One of my teammates played pro ball in Europe, I played HS Varsity and was invited to walk on at a D1 school, and that was about it. We DOMINATED the league because he'd score about 40 points a night and I had about 10 steals a night. Imagine if he was actually good enough to play in the NBA or I was Rajon Rondo (my equivalent...though my hands are about half the size of his), we wouldn't even have to try.

Someone like Bronson, the absolute best player in the world (at least one of the 3 best), should be able to propel his team to Division 1 with ease, only then should he not be able to single-handedly win a championship.

After all, if you put Lionel Messi on Rápido de Bouzas, they'd be in the top division within 3 years.
That's why none of the D-League MVPs have ever been a legitimate NBA starter, because anyone who is good enough to star in the NBA is too good to play in any lower league.

Bronson probably has a 45 in vertical, can run like Monta Ellis, can shoot like Ray Allen in his prime, can D up like Gary Payton and can pass like Steve Nash, so why was he not good enough to keep a team in Division 3?

I LOVE Buzzerbeater, but this is a major flaw about the game. Either salaries need to come down (Bronson went from about 60 000 to 200 000 in a season) or the high-salary players' impact needs to be increased. Bronson should have been averaging about 7 steals a game in Division 3...

On the other hand, I think you're right that a Bronson type in a low level league should score 50-60 every night. Hopefully the new isolation tactics would fix this sort of thing. But in a way, it shouldn't be fixed completely: right now, in the early rounds of the cup I need to use three non-scrubs to make sure that I can beat div. IV-III opposition. Think of how boring it would become if I could be guaranteed victory just by playing one of my starters and four scrubs.

I think that the isolation tactic is more complicated. From what I saw in my team is possible that 4 scrubs are not quite a good decision and perhaps they have to be at least good at defence and passing. Otherwise they are tending to ignore that tactic and try even things by themselves.

It is like during every else specialised tactic. If you have players which are able to do everything else but tasks you order, they will just do something else or die trying to do what you want.

Perhaps thats why we have no inside isolation, passing of outside players is quite common thing.

Suck less at other positions. Basketball is not a one man game.
