BBs may not agree with me, but Buzzerbeater is too random and mysteryious for a lot of people. If one wants to discover how some tactics work, the best way to approach that is by testing it yourself. Build players with specific skill-sets, play a lot of same tactic to figure out what works and what doesn't...

The problem is this takes a lot of time which draws away people. Wouldn't it be cool if you developed a testing tool where two managers each enter skills for their starting five and then the tool generates a box score? You would speed up the testing process, but at the same time still keep some of the "mistery" to you. And also if people figure out more than you want, there's no damage. At least more tactics will get played also at high levels and this is certainly not a bad thing. Since you said more than once that tactics are balanced, this would only help the community and we would find different builds of players on transfer list. Right now, there are a ton of Look inside players on transfer list and not much else.

That happens once a week...So I will spend 2-3 seasons testing and then at least 5 seasons developing players. That's at least 7 seasons - almost 2 years for ONE tactic. And don't forget the chance you misunderstood some tactic's intricacies is not that small. Throw in there some change in tactics along the way because people get bored playing only LI and there is a good chance you just threw away 2 years of gameplay. Tell me who would like to play such a game when there are a million other options (albeit not basketball ones, I'll give you that)?

People who are looking for instant gratification should obviously not play Buzzerbeater. There's really no way to make the game what it was never intended to be.

Or people can unite to understand the game together: it's quicker, funnier and it has already been done.
What more can you ask for? ;)

I guess we can post here for 10 more seasons and nothing will change: LI will still be prevailing and people will get bored. If this isn't a good enough proof for you, then I don't know what is.

And not all of us have an income (I'm a kid) to pay for supporter.

Yes I know BB is free but supporter is not so not all of us can test tactics in PL games.
