Donate to get the "ads-free" version
Genie Scout 11 comes in two versions. One with ads and one with no ads (we will refer to it as the "g" version). In order to get the "no ads" one you'll have to donate to Eugene first, using the donation form on Genie homepage.
Eugene has fully automatized the process of distribution for the "g" version, so people won't have to wait for days before they will get a link this year.
Apart from no ads, the "g" version features:
- a new statistically based model that will show the probability of reaching theoretical maximum of players ability
- support for custom graphic packs that make the overall look and feel much nicer (check the screenshots below)
Please note that during the first run of "g" version it may take a few minutes to create a graphic packs cache. Next time it will be loaded much faster.
Important: FM Scout (the site) is not involved in the donations towards Eugene, neither has any responsibility delivering the ad-free version to you after donation. This is a process handled solely by Eugene himself.

Bug Reports:
This is a beta release, so it's natural that there might be some bugs we couldn't find while beta testing the scout ourselves.
If you're having trouble with your GS11 version, please find the corresponding version specific topic on our GS11 forum section and post there!
Read this before submitting any bugs!
Any comment including bug report posted on this page will be removed on sight!
NOTE: For those saying they can't export all the information of players in csv, please understand this is forbidden by the EULA from SI and SEGA. You should be able to export only basic information such as player name, club, age, etc... the rest information belong to SI and SEGA.
About displaying weight and height in players results and export in csv, it should become available in the next version.

As Little blue appears to be still unwell as no posts on MAC site the Mac users appear to have very little support at present in comparison to Windows and are missing out on these fantastic programs.
Any suggestions / support would be greatly appreciated but needs to be of a level for beginners on MAC who have changed over from Windows
Would be great if you could write a simple step by step tutorial how to make GS11 work on a Mac with that app. Would you do that for me?
