Fielders make no effort to dive for a catch

[RIPServal]

Can the AI actually dive? There have been so many times where they don't bother diving for a catch, even if it bounces just in front of them. It seems ridiculous that the AI don't know how to dive.

yeah they generally dont for catches in deep

This isn't even just for catches in the deep, they don't seem to dive forward at any position. The wicketkeeper and slips can dive left and right but that's it.

yeah...this is true...slip fielders are standing still when the ball going pass their ears

What really gets me is that fielders in silly positions always wince and let the ball bounce off of them. It takes away the whole point of placing any fielder there.

Not just catches. I've conceded way too many boundaries in cases where the ball is gettable if the fielder dives, but he just lets ti run away. The fielders will sprint hard, but they'll never try to make a sliding effort; doesn't matter if it's a catch or a ground fielding opportunity.

Or they start running forwards before turning way too late towards the ball to stop it going for a boundary.

Moreover, I wasn't even able to manage a wicket by catch in the deep. The AI somehow manages to hit the ball so that it falls right before feilder
