Nothing yet. Looking more and more likely it's not coming out tonight. Here's some stuff Ronnie2k wrote about it:

We are trying. I just found out it's like 12 pages of pure text! There's a lot to say about those two modes. But that info is going to be valuable before or after launch. So while I hear you, you'll gain a lot from reading this thing period.

That second to last sentence tells me it's not coming out tonight. Just my opinion, however.

Does text really take that long to upload.... Really....

::sadface:: Still, nothing much to do till midnight anyhow, so maybe just maybe something gets out tonight. I agree with you though, based on that reply, my hope starts to dwindle. ::sadface::

EDIT: on one hand though, I am a little disappointed. Editing text for publishing is not something that takes an incredible amount of time. On top of that, you decide willy nilly to have a dev diary on the night before release when you have nothing prepped to release, or, you knew you wanted to have a dev diary the night before release, and didn't bother to prep anything till the day of said dev diary. Either way, it's a bit of a sloppy approach to it.

Classic Ronnie.......sheesh, in the time he spent posting those twitter updates, couldn't he have uploaded the text or worked on proofreading it or whatever it takes to make it happen.....it would just be nice to see it be a priority to get this sort of thing done before launch.....but oh well I guess.

Yeah, seems like all their marketing efforts went into the Halladay/Wilson videos and hoping the million dollar contest will take care of the rest. Way to go guys

Agreed. Somebody at 2k needs a refresher course of Marketing 101.

Seems to me if you have a product you were really confident of and were sure consumers are going to like, which I think they do, that you'd want to go on an all-out media blitz, telling and showing everyone and his uncle how great your game is going to be.

I'm glad this was the last thing they put out. I'll be glad to read it when it comes, but it will take me weeks before I am ready to start a franchise, if I do.
