Goalkeeper dive turns into pushball inside area
I've been seeing when it's my turn to be keeper, that when I receive any kind of uncontested shot, center, anything, where the diamond appears, keeper will perform a push ball instead of a dive. I think it's due to the fact that it's the same input (Space per default in PC) and the game not recognizing you as the keeper, so it defaults to field player animations.

Kenoudi Mergedsince the new patch, if the ball is close to the goalkeeper and dive is pressed while not in defensive stance it will push ball instead of dive.
this wasn't an issue before the s4 patch -

Niv MergedNot being able to choose between doing the new pushball header in the box versus a regular forward dive for high balls forces you into bad situations, also very easy to own goal if you need to dive backwards for a lob shot. I personally think that the same animation could be put on the rainbow flick keybind instead of pushball.
This is not really a bug per se, but I feel like this belongs here instead because it just clearly negatively impacts goalkeeping.
GIF attached is me pressing my dive input for an easy save in a common GK situation and it trying to do the header for it to get cancelled (can see the red indicator). -

Trinx MergedPut simply, sometimes when I press space (dive button) to go for a grab, it will perform a header tap as if it was a push, leading to quite... unfortunate situations.

Happened to me twice so far, probably possible to reproduce it by having a diamond appear with the same height as seen in the video? I haven't really tested further. -
