Do u agree EA Sports should make a diving button next time?


Yes
No

What kind of diving are u talking about?

Like remember the diving button in Fifa 99....where sometimes if you dived near a player off the opposing team, you would get a free kick? there are so many instances where i can use a dive button in Fifa2003, like near the penalty box and such.

I know, it was the best! :rockman:

it was great,
in WC2002, and Fifa2002, i find it impossible to ever draw a foul.
They gotta improve on this stuff.

they should definitely make a diving button in the future versions ....

Yeah! generally Fifa 99 had MANY good things. Just thuink at all the dribbling combinations! The possibility to lob the ball over the keeper (fortunatekly now we can do it again)! The DIVING! It was just great! Unfortunately the Gamplay sucked like hell! The game was damn arcade compared to todays Fifas. I would like to see the diving, the Formations management, the set pieces, the attributes scale, the menus (those were fan-freckin-tastic in Fifa 99), the Golden goal match, the training mode and all the cool dribblings like the rainbow kick in the next Fifas to come! As you can see, Fifa 2003 still needs improving, or rather add-ons.

Yeah, i think it would come in handy to make the German team as realistic as possible. ;)

Actually if i recall correctly in the WC brazil vs. turkey ronaldo threw himself into the box even though he was clearly fouled outside, and got a penalty kick that gave brazil that game.

And Totti got thrown out for diving too in a game.

diving would be very cool, they could also add possibilities for shirtpulling and maybe other dirty tricks :)

It was not Ronaldo, it was Luizão.. :)

Yess! The dive option must come back.
Now FIFA is 'too clean'. It's even hard to make any foul.
To get the real realism we have to be able to make fouls,
also dirty ones.

And....:
When the diving option comes back it would be nice when the referee gives you a yellow card sometimes when you're trying to dive too far from your opponent.

Diving is cheating and should be weeded out of the game....playing with a player looking to dive when u come close up to him to make a legit tackle is crap - u guys obviously don't love the beautiful game but some sick twisted version of it...:hump: :hump: :hump:

I guess we all love the clean game, but we're looking for a football game close to the reality, and the real game got dirty tricks. Not every player uses such tricks, but the most of them does, guess we all know that :) But off course, bookings for such tricks should happen too!!

If we want a really realistic game the dirty tricks should be in it too. And then it's up to the ref to decide what to do.

In my opinion the ref has to do the one
and only right thing:

we want diving!!!!
it is one of the most fun function....

Yep, i agree with all of u about bringing diving back! You can dive on This is Soccer and u get cards for blatentley (spelling) 'coning' the ref. But most of the time you get a free kick, and it's wiccked. It is true that diving is a dirty part of the game and i think that EA wont bring it back. This is why:
1. If you hadn't noticed the game is called 'FIFA' 2003, hence FIFA. If you haven't alreadyworked it out yet, FIFA are working their arses off trying to get rid of diving out of the game completely.
2. If FIFA are trying to get rid of diving, why would they let EA put it in a game to promote 'simulation' and dirtiness.
Think about it...

Why don't they put crowd trouble into the game too???

The odd on the pitch brawl while they at it???

ridiculous!!!!:kader: :kader: :kader:

remember man, diving is almost part of the game now. But still you are right we have to look to "weed" it out as you would say it. Because it is cheating, but if EA were to put that option, and it should, the dive should have almost perfect timing so that you would get the foul, that's the only way the dive button should work. E.g. the guy on the other team slide tackles the ball, press the dive button at close to that exact moment, and you should get a free kick. And as you get closer and closer to the penalty area, EA should make it really hard to get a free kick or penalty.

In FIFA2000 you could hit a button and you would do a really dirty foul like a spikes up slide and there was a really good chance to injure the other player and you'd usually get a red card. It wasnt too practical except in frustration situations.

we should also get booked if we used the diving button excessively

If there is one thing I love about english futbol its the agressiveness...all the brits in this forum are saying how they don't like diving, and I respect that a lot, this is why the english league is so exciting to watch (Same with Turkish Super League!!!!!!) but I wouldn't mind a diving button in fifa 2003, since it IS a part of the game...I guess.

Forever Turkiye
Forever Fenerbahce
Forever Rustu
Forever Serhat
Forever Fatih
Forever Ortega

y dun they put the dive function there...those who want to use it then use...those who dun like it juz ignore it...

that would be great...if they get it to work right

I'd love to see I dive function, but I doubt we ever will. The game will probably be played by millions of kiddies all around the world and EA probably see it as "irresponsible" to teach them when how to dive.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it, but I just don't think its gonna happen

And Totti got thrown out for diving too in a game. That's NOT FAIR!!!! Totti Didn't throw himself!!! It was Moreno, the ref, who was completely against Italy, evrybody knows that! Korea-Italy was completely ****ed up by the ref. That mach was STOLEN away from us.:f***: :f***: :f***: :f***: :f***:

TIF 2003 (this is football) has a diving button, its so much fun on multiplayer. It hardly ever works when you do a dive, and the ref normaly gives a free kick against you or even books you....

But when you dive in the box, just as your mate tackles you, and the computer zooms in for a replay, and he finds he never touched you!! and you went down and got a penalty!!! it is the funniest thing ever!!! Its better than scoring.

It does spoil the game if its used to much. Would be good if the ref just plaid on if you dived. But he gives a free kick against you everytime and its such a waste of possesion,

I was playing a WC match, I was Italy, versus Germany. I was defending an attack in my own box, and Klose kicked the ball at my defender, Nesta. It struck him on the knees, and he fell over, except it was the same animation as a foul from the front, I got a yellow card (presumably for diving) and they got a penalty! Has anyone else had this?

The only buttons I can remember pressing were A (pass) and Y (chip), so i dont know If i did that on purpose or if it was a bug

its so much fun on multiplayer. It hardly ever works when you do a dive, and the ref normaly gives a free kick against you or even books you....

So whats the point???? if it hardly ever works????

To implement diving so it is realistic and reflects real life the AI for refs would have to be improved. I would far prefer EA to work on AI for the players...implementing cheating (sorry diving) seems to be so pointless...

Hey with diving, Filipo Inzaghi can act like real Filipo Inzaghi.

Of course they have to add it. I wanna learn how to dive like the pros(Rivaldo,Totti).........

We need diving, think about it....what would be more realistic....a game that has pippo inzaghi never falling, or a game with a falling pippo inzaghi??? i know it would be annoying after a while, but more realistic :)

i had the same thing happen to me when the opponents striker was going towards goal and the keeper saved it i was trying to get close but couldnt and flew in with a slide tackle anyway just in case i made it i didnt tho about 3-4 yards awya from him andthe guy went down. i got sent off and they scored the penalty. so maybe they have given the ref som ai that if from where hes standing he might not be able to see the play fully and makes a mistake thinking you fouled him. i dunno
what i would really like to see is when you try a shot and the keeper comes out and you fall over. why no penalty. and i would love to have a keeper sent off and one of my outfield playrs having to save the penalty it would be great.

The ball got kicked at my players knees, and he went down, and in the back ground the fans or players or something were yelling "DIVE DIVE DIVE" and I got a yellow card?...I remember pressing A on my controller, which would be the lob pass button...

i'm gonna have to agree with Del Piero on this one...the italy - korea game was real messed up..

fine take some acting classes....:p

i dont think theres anything that gets me wanting to string a player up more (bar spitting) than seeing so called world class players cheating.

if was to be put in fifa again it should be player specific to embarrass those who do dive,because not everybody is a diving ****.
grrrrrr

Niss.

I think diving appears in every league, not only in Italy and Spain. British players do dive, and so do the foreigners playing there too, but the latin players are more professional when they do it, if you know what I mean. If a british (or north-european) gets a little knock that is not enough to give a freekick, because he's not falling,but he will loose the ball... A latin player will fall down and get a freekick -> didn't loose the ball, and many would say he dived :) Here I believe the latin-players are doing the right thing. But real DIVING where there's no contact between the players, is a shame for the game, and should be rewarded with a booking. And I've seen brits doing that too.... :)

British players do dive !
Only last week during the Portugal game I saw Scotland player Rab Douglas dive and also he used a blatant hand ball to stop Luis Figo scoring.

Me never said Brits never dive Beckham and Owen are guilty contenders and it pisses me off...to me its cheating no matter who does it. Unlike others here I don't see it as a valid soccer skill...is this a game of acting?? of course not....we don't need this.:kader: :kader:
