I'm not sure why they changed it either... this is the year of head scratchers.

Tapping square on PS4 worked for me once. The other time I dove. Then I read there was a "give yourself up" or take a sack feature using the triggers and square. I've used this when a sack was inevitable to avoid fumbling.

Had a hilarious moment when I was scrambling with Teddy Bridgewater and attempted to slide. Instead of hitting the triggers and square I hit X and went into celebration mode and got blasted and fumbled.

If u let off the triggers when you tap square you'll slide normally.

Good thread, fumbled twice last night when failing to slide!

I played 4 games and all were with Scramble QB so i have around 20 rush att. So far with every rush i dive with just pressing the square and RT. No need of LT.

What i``m missing? maybe this is required after the LOS?

Lt+square will make the qb leap over the line.

I`m confuse, the video says that you need to press L2 and R2 + square to dive.

I only press square (and without 99% of the time R2 since i`m sprinting).

I don`t need to press L2 at any time to drive.

L2 +square leaps over line. R2+ square does reaching dive. Tapping square still slides.I don't ever use r2 l2 and square. just go in practice mode and try it.
