Why would it? Diving effects your diving skill

they should combine it as jumping (shrug)

Yes, vertical will increase your maximum diving distance, but not as much as putting those SP into diving, ldo.

Vertical - Determines how high this player can jump vertically

Diving - Determines how far and how quickly this player can dive horizontally

Lmao common sense

Vertical seems to play a part mostly in PD / Anti-PD rolls (whether it's every throw or only when they jump in the sim is unknown, prob every play (at least a little, maybe more on errant throws) though since I do think DT/DE get bonuses to deflecting from vertical and they are often stuck in some kind of blocking or pass rush animation before they get a deflect)

Diving expands your tackle halo (how far away you can tackle somebody from) which is not really intuitive and your ability to dive for extra yards at the end of a rushing play.

Afaik those are the main two uses for each

Diving for a pass??? I put some on my receiver..saw his first ever diving pass today for a td.

I guess, but I don't think it's as big of a deal (in as many situations) as vertical when you're talking about receiving passes. It seems like they both have an offensive/defensive application, and it would seem kind of redundant/OP to make diving equally as good as vertical at it's offensive advantage while also giving you an extra offensive advantage (YAC) when you do get the ball.


Though I guess that's partially just trying to apply logic and we all know how well that works here

I see diving catches once or twice a game. I see vertical catches and attempts at least a half-dozen times a game.

If a corner goes to intercept the ball, there would be situations where he would both have to have a high vertical to jump up and reach the ball and he would also have to dive to intercept the ball if it was out of his reach.

Or if a QB over threw a wide receiver, he might have to also jump up to catch it as well as diving to reach it.

I've seen a cornerback dive and intercept a deflected pass, for what it's worth. No way I could go back and remember the sim and find the replay though. It was a situation where the receiver was double covered, and the first cover guy deflected it, and the second dove and caught it before it hit the ground.
