Dive button is a placebo in this game.
Used it all the time in ‘14. & perhaps it was too good in ‘14, but the dive button in this iteration of the game is absolutely 0% functional.
Here I am from the 1.5 yd line, with the angle.
I’ve yet to execute a successful dive from >1 yd: any contact negates your momentum, making the move useless, except for showboating on a breakaway TD.
