I've just been looking at one of the Leipzig match videos on the WENB site, seeing Ronaldo and Quaresma racking up the bookings for diving

and I've been sitting here thinking about a potential problem with the diving feature.
Firstly, I think it's great that we have the option to do it, and it's good that you seem to get punished almost all of the time, but...
...can defenders "dive" just like attackers in PES2008 ? Can players dive when the ball is NEAR or do they actually have to be dribbling with the ball ?
I've just got this horrible feeling that people are going to start sacrificing yellow cards by diving their defenders to concede deliberate fouls when their opponent has certain goals (eg a player is has gone around the keeper for a tap in).
Of course the defender will get booked for the dive, but it will nevertheless avoid a certain goal being scored.
The game then restarts with an indirect free kick after the yellow card (which makes things worse, it's not even a penalty). I wonder if Konami has dealt with this, or if anyone has seen evidence that only a player in possession of the ball can dive or otherwise ?
