with the scout i always try to have both statistics pretty high for a world class team, but with lower league clubs i go by a high % and a high PA not really worrying about CA, I like to make wonderkids through intensive training and often sell for huge profits this way.

yes yes yes

good thing about lower league clubs is that you can sign players with low CA and high PA, that will actually play most games and reach their PA faster. and this happens because if you get a high PA player who has a low CA, it is very unlikely that you will play him often in your high profile team.

So Posistioning Rating is better idea to watch or CA?

PA stands for Potential Ability and CA for Current Ability. It is good to see both and what is the difference between them. A high CA means that your player is already capable of doing great things and PA means how good your player can become.

You don't understand...

I was asking for Posistioning Rating - not potencial ability ( pa)


now you see?

player A -> position 70% / ability 185
or
player B -> position 85% / ability 170


Simple question
- who is better?

Well, the PA of a player can be 200, but if he is a CB and has poor stats for tackling, heading and marking. then his Positional Rating is going to be poor. You know?

Ah sorry mate.
Of course player B is better, and PA is never an accurate way to foretell if the player with higher PA will ever get higher rating than the player with lower PA.
For example, in FM2007 Sherman Cardenas could go over 80% with a PA of only 160 and be among the best 10 of the whole game. Similar examples you can find in FM2008 as well. Just do a quick search with any scout utility to see players with same CA, how different their ratings are.

Its not always about their stats within Genie... Some players just play above themselves!

I don't get why people are still posting bugs about Genie... 99% of them have most likely already been submitted to Genie and it just a case of waiting for the first proper version.

What do mean not helping!?
There is nothing to help... You have an error that I and many others have had for nearly 2 weeks - there is no known way of how to get around the problem!!

Like I said it is a case of waiting for a newer version, simple as!

Just been on FM Ukraine and Genie says that he will not have time to finish it until February!


I hope this isn't true. Maybe FMScout can do some research into this...

and in february he would say : until may.
and so on,months will pass by,and SI will release FM09.
But there is one good thing.Base structure for FM09 will be the same as FM08,so GenieFM Scout 09 will be ready 10 days after FM09.

So, or wait one year(if you can not play without scout),or play it fair.

There are ways to get around Genie and I assume I am not the only one who has figured it out... I have been without Genie for 4 years (FM game time) and found more success since then!

There are two ways that I have found useful.

One is make a player search in FM and then add the players to a shortlist, then export and load in FM Modifier (http://jpee.91.tc/indexeng.htm)… There are a couple of downsides to that it is long and drawn out and sometimes the sale value is not accurate.

The other is Mini Scout (http://mxamster.googlepages.com/home) but the only draw backs are some players don’t exist on the game and the player search isn't specific enough.

Obviously Genie Scout is more user friendly but at the moment no-one has a fully working version of it so these are the only ways to come close to get the information that Genie offers.
