News - FM Genie Scout for FM 2012 is confirmed
We all know Genie Scout is the world's most popular utility for Football Manager. We are happy to be exclusively releasing this awesome application since 2009 and we have some great news for you. There will be a Genie Scout 12!

Eugene has been working on the new version for some time now, but I didn't want to make to put any pressure to him by making any announcements until now.

I have a screenshot for you that proves GS12 is under development and also reveals a new feature of the "g" edition, which is the one for people who donate.

I'll remind you here that the "g" edition is ad-free and has a few extra fancy features compared to the free edition.



We won't make any promises on the release date, but I can assure you it won't be as late as it was last year. Most likely we'll be able to release it during November, without knowing if it's gonna be early or late that month.


Important - How to get Genie Scout 12 earlier!

You must know that we are planning to make it available for download a bit earlier for our newsletter subscribers. Basically, if you are a verified subscriber of our newsletter, you will receive an email with the download link to the first Genie Scout 12 beta version a bit earlier than everyone else.
How much earlier? Well, it could be for half a day or for two days. Once that time has passed, it will be available for free download on our site of course.

Why lose a single hour though? All you have to do is give us your email and confirm your subscription to our newsletter by clicking on the confirmation link in the email you'll receive.

Likewise, every new GS12 version will be available to our newsletter subscribers earlier

    @mara.sustai :
    I'll be updating the localization thread tonight most likely, as it's part of my todo list for this day to re-assemble Genie Scout homepage on the site.

    @ybw4 :
    Since August. Not me though, Eugene is the only man working on it. I'm just answering comments and taking care of the distribution.

    @fjordland @carvalho70438 :
    Don't think so, but shouldn't take more than 4-5 days from now.
  • carvalho70438's avatar
    it can't be able to download tonight , because newsletter subscribers can do it a little bit earlier, so i didn't receive anything :)
  • mara.sustai's avatar
    hello stam,i can translate new GS12 to CZECH language if you or eugene want :)
  • ybw4's avatar
    How long are you now busy with making gs? Thank you so much time to cross!
    So tonight, but that can be downloaded?
  • fjordland's avatar
    So GS is launched tonight?
  • Stam's avatar
    @chum @jimmy1984 :
    Genie Scout homepage will be re-assembled tonight. You'll find everything you need about the program there, including donation box. You'll also find quick links to older GS versions, interviews with Eugene, easy access to GS forums, the GS guide, and soon some video tutorial. Localize GS & win will return too.

    @jb10billion :
    I'll ask Eugene about it and get back to you.

    @arnowen :
    Thanks for your suggestion. I'll be sure to pass the idea on to Eugene.
    By the way, it shouldn't be long until first version gets out.

    How can i get 'g' edition? how can i donate?
  • jb10billion's avatar
    Hi again stam,

    On GS11, I had a problem in that some of the Brazilian regens had korean names on the search list. Could you enquire as to whether this has been rectified for GS12?
    Thanks
  • arnowen's avatar
    ohw yeah, i got 1 for the ideabox. maybe there can be a separate search for stars (the ones who shows the growt potential) if thats possible. thanks
  • arnowen's avatar
    Take your time and make GS12 as good as GS11, it's better to have patience and have a good working tool than a quick tool with flaws. Ps. GS and the developers RULE!!!!

    How can i get 'g' edition? how can i donate?
  • fjordland's avatar
    LOL. People are ignorant. Take your time to make it as good as posible!

    @firatsimsek:
    You can only return here day after day to find out when GS12 will be out, because WE release it exclusively. You are a disrespectful idiot who wouldn't care to read the site rules, and therefore you are now banned.

    @Rambopet @i04412992:
    Soon. We made no promise to you except it should be released during this month (November).

    @Nick!:
    I believe it should work exactly like GS11.

    @AHappyHammer:
    No, but you might be able to get it to work with some Mac app like CrossOver or something similar.
  • i04412992's avatar
    It's supposed to be released now, isn't it ?
  • Rambopet's avatar
    When it's gonna be realesed? :)
  • Nick!'s avatar
    Hi Stam,
    Can u add coaches to shortlist? It would be good if this could be done in Fmscout 2012. Also, can the coach ratings be converted to the star rating as displayed in FM2012 Training?

    Good work, I plan to donate for g version when available.

    Nick

    please do the following patch for a little bit faster :(
  • zragosh's avatar
    @ carvalho70438

    I can tell you, from my experience, that in Genie Scout 11, the very best of players had over 80% on potential rating. So if you want good players, you should follow the potential rating of the player, and not the potential ability, because the rating of a player refers to how good a player performs on the pitch. If for example you have 2 players, one with 185 potential ability with 75% potential rating and the second one with 175 potential ability and 80% potential rating, you should choose the one with more potential rating. They also grow so much in value.. (80% rating values at least 30-40M euros).

    Will it work on Apple computers this year?

    @ CARVALHO70438 and FJORLAND.

    Thank you for your questions. I will be sure to try and provide the best answer in the guide, which hopefully I'll be able to finish before the launch of Genie Scout 12. If you should have any more requests to be included in the guide, please post your questions on the the following thread.

    Genie Scout Support

    Thanks again.

    one thing that i ever want in GS is an basic explanation about what means every critter in a search.. for example: potential capacity in a position vs potential capacity, what are the differences and witch one we should choose..

    take this in count ;)
  • fjordland's avatar
    For instance: never understood how i could filter the toll to show only the players on my current team. I clicked on the "team" button and got them organized but not very effectiv ;)
  • portugalthemig's avatar
    I'd rather keep it simple, screenshots and bubbles with caption text with basic instructions on how to work the interface and basically showcase what the program can do as a utility. Run through the basic filtering process, what the values on the screen actually represent and what you can and can't do with the program for example. I'll send up you an example and start working on a guide for the free version as soon as possible, then I'll add the features from this year's "collector's edition".

    @portugalthemig:
    That would be nice, since I don't have much time myself. There won't any differences between GS11 and GS12 as far as the free edition is concerned, so you may start writing it even now if you want. Let me know what you have in mind though, some kind of plan what to cover and in what way.
