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.

was working perfectly 12hrs ago
any help?
Should provide data for every player in the database of your saved game.
GS is originally tested against the regular databases and not custom ones.
Now I don't think there will be another GS11 version, but feel free to follow the steps and submit a bug.
We'll be adding support topics on this soon. In a nutshell, best rating in % is how good a player is at his natural position, and best potential rating is how good he can become when he reaches his max potential.
@Bellick:
Not sure mate, since I don't have a Mac myself.
Can't you upload in mediafire or megaupload or others? Thx
Thanks, I really appreciate ur hardwork
It's your team mate, that's the point. You can sell them as much as you can. Start by transfer listing the players you want to get rid of after speaking with them first to avoid making them unhappy (use the poor performance excuse, or the surplus to requirements one). Continue and see if they became wanted by any teams, then based on what teams you see there either offer the player for a price higher than his current value or lower.
Scroll down, there are additional download mirrors. I apologize for the inconvenience regarding FileSonic's service. I contacted them and they seem to experience temporary trouble. I've changed main download mirror to UploadStation until they resolve the issue. Thanks for reporting!
