Suggestion: Add "Diving" mechanic to unmapped ZL button with VAR integration

 

Right now, the ZL button on the Nintendo Switch OLED has no default use case in gameplay, leaving an entire primary trigger unmapped. This feels like a missed opportunity to add depth and realism to the gameplay, especially during high-intensity moments in the box. I suggest changing the use case for the ZL button by making it a dedicated button for Diving or simulating a foul. To balance this and keep the game realistic, this mechanic should be directly tied to the in-game VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system. If a player uses the ZL button to dive and the referee catches it or checks VAR, they should receive a yellow card for simulation. However, if timed perfectly during a slight contact, it could influence a foul call. This change will make FC 26 feel much more realistic and add a high-risk, high-reward tactical element to the game. It perfectly utilizes an empty button on the Switch controller while making great use of the game's existing VAR presentation.
