It can be fun and tempting to scramble on any given play, but scrambling is at its most effective when the defense is spread out due to several deep routes run by your WRs. All QBs can scramble, but some are obviously better at it than others. Scrambling can still be worthwhile with a slow QB, but it will be even more important to protect this player with a slide!
Failure to release R2 or RT will result in your QB diving forward, as the slide and dive buttons are one and the same. A dive will get you a few extra yards, but can also lead to a fumble and does not protect your QB from injury. Only QBs can slide in Madden 21. Like in the real NFL, the slide is designated as a means of letting the QB “give himself up” and protect himself from injury/turnover. RBs, WRs, and TEs therefore will only dive when you follow these instructions. [3] X Research source

Make sure your two taps of the X/Square button are as close together as possible. Even a slight delay in between taps may trigger a dive instead.
