What's new in GS16
The biggest change in Genie Scout 16 is the complete revamp of the rating system according to recent FM tendencies.
What's new in GS16Based on deep player development history analysis using big data techniques and statistics (collected data from over 15 years of game history on over 100k players and over 54k matches from top-12 leagues), the following changes have been made:
- re-assessed the influence of one-foot vs both-feet playing ability on overall rating (a player who can use both feet performs better than a player who can only use one foot with the same attributes)
- skills dependency on current ability has been thoroughly investigated, which makes potential rating assessment much more accurate
- peak (max possible) potential ability has been investigated (what CA can be reached depending on the current age and position)
- position skill influence on player performance (inability to play on a specific position doesn't affect performance significantly now if player has high skills required for the position)
- role ratings improved based on FM16 suggestions
- positional ratings adjusted based on FM16 suggestions and on the statistical analysis of collected matches history
In addition, the "g" edition now features a brand new amazing feature: In-Game Scout. IGS brings GS usability to a whole new level. Clicking the (i) icon next to player's name in-game normally shows up a pop-up box with his attributes and some quick details. With IGS enabled, this pop-up box is enhanced with many added insights, including potential skills and rating. You no longer need to switch to the GS window to check on hidden attributes or potential ability.

i have been using genie scout 16 regularly for the past two years. Just yesterday it stopped working suddenly. First at start up it showed me some error “list index out of bounds” and then I reinstalled it from the website but then it just appeared with a green outline across the genie scout screen and said “game cannot be located”
i have noticed I cannot seem to locate the file installed on my C drive??
any help would be appreciated
@MarioColuna @parkaberi: Eugene normally replies within 24 hours. Make sure you send him an email at this address: genie @ fmscout.com (remove spaces)
@ReusGod: Message Eugene to explain your situation and pass him your new unique ID. He will provide you with a new key.
@Avery: I'm guessing you either changed computer or upgraded Windows. Please read this.
Hope you can update Genie Scout soon.
@Gazza7744: Please use the GS forum to report problems. You'd have to be more specific than that though.
@ducc: I'm afraid not. It's something for Eugene to look into for next season.
@Footballfan97: it's not a bug. Read this.
