FM Genie Scout is the world's most popular utility for Football Manager.
We are honored to be exclusively releasing this awesome application since 2009, and it's always great news to be able and continue this tradition. We try our best to deliver Genie Scout to the world every year because your support to this project is outstanding.
Genie Scout 12 generated almost half a million downloads, more than any previous version of the series. We are hopeful that Genie Scout 13 will raise that figure even higher.
Major Change in GS13
Sports Interactive made it almost impossible to read data from save games in Football Manager 2013. As a result, Eugene had to re-write the entire engine of his app to work real time and read from memory instead. So when you try to load a game in GS13, you must have FM13 open and your game loaded.Don't worry though, it won't require you to install any frameworks.
The problem with this change is that GS13 won't work with Mac at all, because Eugene doesn't own a Mac and how memory works there is different.
FM Genie Scout 13 Release Date
Public editionWe won't make any promises on the release date of the public version
Update 26 November:
Eugene needs to complete a business project by 7 December and given that he has time to work on GS mainly during the weekends, the release of the public version is possible to take place shortly after that date. There's still a chance for 1-2 December, but it doesn't seem very likely at the moment.
Update 1 December:
As expected Eugene won't be able to release the public edition before 7 December. So we're now looking at a possible release date of 8-9 December.
"g" edition
The "g" edition, which is the one for people who donate, was released on Friday 9 November (1st beta). On Saturday 24 November, Eugene released the 6th beta to address more bugs.
Reminder: The "g" edition is ad-free and has a few extra features compared to the public edition.
You can now donate for GS13 "g" edition.

Thanks Stam.
Can't wait
Good job Eugene and Stam
That's good. Usually on game releases they put it out on the last minute of the day of the release.
Keep up the good work guys!!
Thx again for the effort this year!
Anyway, there's no point in being respectful to a spammer who creates accounts using temporary emails. I've already removed a couple of his accounts and banned an IP range used.
Pipe down kid, your lady parts are kicking up a pong.
Nobody is forcing anyone. GS13 public edition will be released shortly after 7 December. If you don't believe Eugene, that is your problem. Live with it.
But nooo, coming December 7th you'll write another post explaining how Eugene was too busy. But hey, don't say it too loud... they might notice!
Keep up the good work..!
