If you're talking about the new arrivals section, items only stay in there for a set period of time. Taking something down doesn't necessarily mean they're getting ready to put something else up. Sometimes there are several demos in there when lots of them are being put up, some times there are none for a while during slow times.

It's come to the point where Information is just not exciting anymore. WE NEED THE DEMO

Very good read with some new info, and it's really encouraging that he enjoyed the game. One thing i wasn't aware of is that for dives, you have to actually be in the right spot with good timing rather than hitting it when you feel and relying on an animation.

Nice article, thanks.

I noticed that dives are performed with the R trigger too but there is no mention of jumping other that it's automatic if you are in the right place at the wall in the outfield. I didn't like the sound of this, I thought we would still have to do something to climb the wall or jump for it.

Looking at the screenshots for controls posted today, there is no mention of jumping either. So is the R trigger context sensitive so that if the shortstop wants to leap to catch a ball you can use the R trigger?

Thanks for any clarification.

Matt,

Why would you write an article about features that everyone on this site already knows about. You are dealing with an audience that knows nearly every facet of the game already. Give us some specifics about the game or don't write about anything at all. It's a nice idea to have a regular feature, however, you should consider whether or not your article adds to what has already been a lengthy conversation on OS.

Change is great, but please don't just pile on to the ever mounting pile of poor PR that is the game industry.

Also, if you want to see a great article concerning this game then you need to check out Jeff Robinson at Gametap. I understand you have a theme of "Three point Thursdays" which is great, I guess, but you need to bring the originality man.


Ciao
