you want the QB to slide, not dive. diving makes him jump forward, and he can still get hit. sliding makes him go down feet first, so he is giving himself up.

QB slide as in feet 1st & he's down with no risk of fumbling.
You don't want to do a QB forward dive with defenders around. (high risk of fumbling)

I'm glad it's changed. Last year tapping the square button to slide wouldn't always register & sometimes it would register as a regular dive instead of slide. It happened enough times to me in CFM that I just stopped trying to slide all together. Diving forward with defenders around would lead to more fumbles than if I just stood straight up & let the defender tackle me.

I'm still able to slide by tapping square.

Does holding both triggers and doing it allow you to slide behind the line of scrimmage and maybe that's the only difference?

I am still sliding like I always have been. When trying to slide, I just push the LS down and X (Xbox)

You should also be allowed to slide behind the LOS, for the intent of draining the clock AND not throwing to the square receiver when you mean to dive. Has anyone noticed if you can do this?
