Bring Back the Snag!

All those who want to see Kris Jardine, aka SnaggleJ back on the Perfect Team Crew respond to this thread with a ditto!

DallasSluggers · 06-27-2023, 06:58 PM

Ditto

kazken · 06-27-2023, 07:02 PM

I'll add to this. The content feels disjointed and I'm not excited as I was before about PT content releases. SnaggleJ was a great source of entertainment and he brought an excellent level of enjoyment to OOTP! Bring him back!

DarylUCLA · 06-27-2023, 07:58 PM

Ditto. Snaggle knew (and loved) the game, understood how content cadence works, and had fewer mistakes over several cycles than we have seen so far in just three months of 24. He also could handle criticism with more than an "lol" response. Bring back Kris!

Hwilensky · 06-27-2023, 09:51 PM

Ditto. Was he forced out or did he leave on his own? I forgot.

stl jason · 06-27-2023, 10:48 PM

I'm in. No slight against anyone... just "grew up" with Snaggle broadcasts in PT19, so if he's willing to come back/run some streams/etc, that's a win in my book.

scabbronumber1 · 06-27-2023, 11:16 PM

Hear hear! Listening to Jardine talk about his days running content showed me he's truly passionate about it!

ChessSafari · 06-28-2023, 06:11 AM

yep, the content should be managed thoughtfully and carefully, not just tossed out there. SnaggleJ set the standard.

Kushiel · 06-28-2023, 08:50 AM

Ditto!

The Missions are a mess without Kris. Last year was a snowball rolling downhill as far as Missions. This year that snowball is nearing that hot place.

BigRed75 · 06-28-2023, 12:02 PM

I concur

Even though there were times I didn't agree with Snags, there is no doubt that he understood how people play PT and gacha games in general, and built the missions with a clear and coherent plan. He even got better about not having as many roadblocks toward the end of his tenure.

Missions now are just a mess. Power creep is a mess. Live card ratings are a mess. There are other messes that aren't necessarily in the content manager's purview as I understand it, but having Snags back to fix these messes would go a long way toward stopping the flight away from PT.

It's too late to save PT24, but the sooner you bring back Snags (and announce it), the more goodwill you will engender about people who are on the fence about PT25 (and maybe entice some of the high-profile players who have abandoned PT24 to come back for the next cycle)

RedsFan78 · 06-28-2023, 12:35 PM

Ditto across the board.

MontairDon · 06-28-2023, 01:48 PM

Ditto

Tinkerman · 06-28-2023, 02:37 PM

Ditto.

I haven't installed OOTP on my new pc (which cost about 3 million pp

), so I just login to the forums now and then to check my sigs and see how my '23 team is doing. Kris wouldn't get me back playing, but I'd probably still be playing OOTP 17 now if I hadn't seen Kris's vids 4 years ago, haha! I never bought any points, but that's at least an extra $100 in pre-orders.

Was not a Snag fan...until I saw the fallout once he was gone and realized what a good job he was actually doing.

Ditto.

Exactly. Somebody at corporate better wake up and feel the pulse of the community soon.

HRBaker · 07-01-2023, 02:12 PM

I, of course, have no idea why Snag left, but I suspect there's little chance he will return. I would welcome the chance, however, to provide direction on how to structure the missions.

I'm certainly not an expert, but I would support a lot of the ideas that have been posted here; historical team missions, stat category leaders with Diamond or Perfect rewards, All-Star game heros, Playoff game heros, and many others mentioned here - ALL sorted to start slow and build to a peak by the end of the season.

I'm still a proponent of slowing down the release of cards. having half the active players hitting the ceiling with Diamond/Perfect rosters before the all-star game is ridiculous.

Kudos to those that have tried this year, but take this as a learning experience - not a personal criticism.

The man himself has publicly posted (on more than one occasion) that he would return in a heartbeat if OOTPD asked him back

Kushiel · 07-05-2023, 10:52 AM

Week after week with no actual direction continues.

The content is only about more cards released that can immediately be dribbled into the market and highlighted in Spotlight Packs. Occasionally a few unrelated to anything Missions are released to try to quell the heat rising in the base.

We need Snag while there is still time to save the game.
