qb dive worthless

[klb835]

Playing online and 4th and inches at the goal line. I call a qb sneak since it seems to be working against me. My guy (orton) hikes the ball and falls straight to the ground. Nobody was to the left of the center, i had no control over anything that happened. SO in a nutshell I dont score, So score remains tied.

Another madden problem that still exists is this horrible punt coverage. I pick punt return left. Nobody blocks still have a few yards between the defender. So I decide with royal to catch it. And of course he gets hit and fumbles and of course the guy that hits me magically comes up with the ball and gets up and runs it in. I lose. Had to happen sometime..just wish it wasn't because of this crap.

You can control the direction the QB falls. It's a fail on EAs part for not explaining it anywhere except for twitter a couple months back

Maybe kick the fg... Then you would be up

qb dive works perfectly, and the animation is great....

And punt coverage is farmed.

I'd like to know how to do it. I've done 3 online.

1. Vs 4-3 base D. 8 yard gain.
2 & 3. Vs Goal line D. QB just falls to the ground, untouched, play is still going until someone on D touches him. One time I tried pressing up, another time left.

Just hold up left. He won't go any further than a yard.

Unfortunately that seems to be the way they deal with plays that people call cheese. Instead of balancing the effectiveness of a play, they completely take it out or make it worthless. That qb sneak animation is pure garbage, period. And yes, you could have kicked it but what if the situation is different? So the qb sneak and rocket catch have been completely taken out instead of balancing it. Don't get me wrong, this is a great game...but don't do that to us.
