If you kick the ball and it lands on the touchline and you have a diving catcher on the line and they catch it, is that right? Or is it a bug/mistake? |

yes that is a bug I believe, if I understand you correctly. You cannot attempt to catch your own kick off |

You can attempt to catch your own kick, otherwise blitz would be a lot worse! However, from the FAQ:
Q: If a player from your team fails to catch a ball from a kick-off, and the ball bounces over the line of scrimmage is it a touchback?
A: Yes, any event that causes the ball to go out of bounds or over the line of scrimmage during a kick-off results in a touchback.
So if your player is on your half and tries to catch it, whether they succeed or fail, the ball will be over the LOS and the receiving player gets a touchback. |

Yes that does seem right. I did it automatically because it was unexpected. In the heat of the moment it didn't seem more unfair than lots of other things in the game |

the point is - it is different to a blitz though, If you catch the ball with diving catch and you are still on your side of the pitch then it pulls the ball on to your side of the pitch and therefore out of bounds.
this should mean the receiving team are given the ball. Who ended up with the ball Hello? |

I did (I was the kicking team), the catcher caught it and the game would have gone on as normal
EDIT
Actually I'm not sure if it did go on quite normally because the other coach conceded after and the game is still scheduled. It's the game for this team

I wish this were a thing; it'd be cheesy but hilarious... |

I had it happen to me in a match where my opponent kicked and then used Perfect Defense to place his Diving Catch player in position to steal the ball. The game went on as normal. |
