Bring Diving Back!

But they should put in a "dive" button - you can hit it when there is contact. It would be a mini-game of sorts. Time it well, and you get a foul or card when there wouldn't necessarily have been one. Time it badly, or use it too much, and you'll get a yellow card for diving. I think it would be a very interesting new dimension. But frankly in general they need to fix the officiating so there are more fouls and cards, you can get away with anything short of a knifepoint robbery in 2004.

Thats a really great idea, it would add a whole new dimension to FIFA games, it would be sort of like the OTB controls in 2004, you don't need to use it to win a match, but you will play a lot better if you do.

yeah, diving would be the best feature

there is nothing better than promoting idiocy

Yeah well, Beckham's haircut is idiotic too, but it's in FIFA. Why? BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE GAME. So is diving, like it or not. EA says "if it's in the game, it's in the game," so let's see some truth in advertising.

After all, diving is an Olympic event

They should dedicate one analog stick to diving. They also should have a video instrution made by Figo and C. Ronaldo to teach you how to dive in real life and how to draw penalties and free kicks.
