Player Ratings

[Dazzle29]

^^ If you are scoring 3 goals a game in Become a Legend, maybe you have the difficulty setting too low... Maybe playing on harder difficulties gets you a higher rating too? I average 7ish on Top Player, but have got an 8.5 before. I only scored 2 and set up one, and had defensive rating B.

the rating sometimes are pretty WTF-ish..i just played a very good game (on top player)..i scored a goal and made an assist (both very classy:P), had 5 interceptions and played an overall great game (B defence rating), and we won 2:1, so i considered myself to be quite the hero in that game, and expected a 7.5 rating atleast..only to be struck with a measly 6.5..WTF!?

* as for the above 8.0 rating..i still don't believe it even exists, could someone post a proof of it or something?

I don't feel the need to prove anything to you, actually, because I don't really care if you think 8.0 is top rating or not. In BAL, an average rating of 7.80 will get you player of the century awards anyway. An average rating of 6.50 will eventually get you into Barcelona as well.

And the reason why you would get fairly low rating for a game you think you played well, your combined ball losses (failed passes, losing the ball to a defender in duels etc.) was nearly equal to the positive things you did (Score goals, assists, shot attempts, crosses etc.), and you get a rating that reflects that. In a realistic setting, a simple faulty pass or two and a few missed dribbling attempts doesen't hurt a players performance if he's played well for the majority of the match. Sometimes a player that is nearly invisible for the majority of the match gets Man of the Match awards simply because he was magical in one or two occations of the game by providing spectacular goals or assists. PES will probably never be able to seperate a failed pass that doesen't cause any grave effects and missplaced pass directly leading to a opposition goal. That's why it's important to make the most of every second you're in possession of the ball in BAL, too many small mistakes wipes out all the great things you do for your team.

^lol, first of all, i didn't ask You to prove anything to me, i just never saw an above 8.0 rating before, and i would like to..and i'm pretty aware that a 6.5 rating is fairly above average (that's why a rating above 8.0 seems even more incredible)..

..and i am, in fact, also very aware of all the variables that affect the game rating (failed passes, losing ball to defenders-esspecially if that causes a goal), and even considering all that, i beleive i played a great game..i was, also, the man of the match, cause all my teammates had a rating of 5.5-6.0 (except one defender, that had 6.5 aswell)..don't get me wrong, though, most of the time, the rating is pretty spot-on, i'm just saying that every now and then, they seem to be a bit off
