How to achieve high ratings in BAL mode.

[Azzza]

The key is simply passing.

I am a winger and I scored two goals in a match but only made 4 passes. Rating = 6.5.
My two other team mates achieved more completed passes than me, minimum 12. Rating = 7.5. They did not score any goals.

I have also noticed that the more passes I make during a game, the higher my rating.

To check the amount of passes, once you finish a game, press down once and select into match details, then select rating, then select your players name. It will come up with interesting stats like how far you have dribbled with the ball. The amount of passes is in this format: x(x). The x inside the bracket shows how many completed passes you have performed. Obviously you need to make sure you have more than 3/4 of the total passes you have made completed. E.g. 15(13). I assume the higher amount of completed passes compared to total passes also affects your rating.

Oh yeah, and to top it all off, the score was 2-0 and I didn't even get man of the match...

I'd have to say that passing is obviously part of it, but it's really not that simple. How many games have you played? I recorded my games over three seasons to look for the most common trends that lead to good ratings, and ruled out passes completed as being very significant for a winger (which I am too). Were your team-mates wingers as well, or midfielders? Remember that each player position has it's own requirements for getting good ratings. Passing would be more important for a midfielder, especially CMF, than for a forward/winger. I have found that shooting is genrally much more important for forward positions than passing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I understand everything that results in getting good ratings, but it's not as simple as you are suggesting, from what I have seen over six seasons of playing, and I do get plenty of high ratings (average above 6.75).

GETTING IN THE GAME is the most important things. The more passes you recieve, the better the rating. That's what I saw when I evaluated the match and rating.
