I am trying to understand how the match ratings work. i could hold down LB and get 90%+ passing, 4 shots on goal yet my rating is still 5.9-6.2. I understand that goals and assist help big time but mistake free football doesn't seem to matter if your in the midfield or on defense. I check the leader-boards and see a ton of players with 8.0-9.0 avg. match ratings. What is the key to getting a more consistent match rating without a hat trick every game?
