Whats up with the dive fumble??????

[quehouston]

This has plague the series for the last few years. I dont understand why it even happens. I just lost to #20 USC in like 6 overtimes because of it. My defense held them to a field goal (finally), so a touchdown would win it. But what do you know? I decide to dive into the endzone for the gamewinner. Sure enough, he fumbles it...I just wanna know why??? Lol, whats the point?

If you know it happens, why dive when you are in the clear and about to win? Never had it happen to me, though.

You dont think about it when you are in the 6th overtime of a conference game, with the potential to pull an upset over a ranked opponent..Pardon me for trying to win with style lol

Should've held 'protect ball'. Most likely he would have fallen forward into the endzone.

Re: Whats up with the dive fumble??????

Think about it. When you dive, you're making a desperation attempt for more yards, exposing your body and the ball. Protect that ball like a baby man. IMO, that is more than realistic

You pulled a DeSean Jackson

And its back this year. Such a joke. Doesn't matter if you hit cover ball before you slide. So infuriating

No, he got hit and fumbled, he didn't just drop it short of the goal line

Or you are like me when I used to do it, was because I was the QB and to avoid getting hit I wanted to slide problem is at that close to the endzone the game doesn't register the slide or something and causes them to dive which sucks, because I either risk my QB getting injuried or I risk a fumble. Neither outcome I want because I rather slide at the one and pound it in with my running back or continue to run the clock out.

Happens in real life. Not a glitch, it's part of the game. It happens.

I'm fine with the fumbles, people should be punished for diving in traffic.

But half the time I try to QB slide, the quarterback just dives instead, which results in all my fumbles which is infuriating.

Only time I ever saw Ray Rice fumble was on a contested dive into the end zone.

Try double-tapping the dive/slide button. That's what I started doing last season and never had any more problems with unwanted diving.

Also, it should be mentioned, that in past games I have seen issues with fumbling on dives for seemingly no reason. I get the idea that you're more likely to fumble when you're hit while diving. What doesn't make sense were the times I dove for first downs and the only contact was my player's foot touching a defender's ankle (or something similar) causing the ball to come out. Or in a couple cases (before I stopped diving altogether) when I didn't touch anything but the ground.
