MacAssistant Classic is a new scouting and editing tool for the Football Manager series. Its main difference to MacAssistant RT, is that instead of relying on memory data, it can load a save game file directly from the disk. This means that you don't have to be running the game to scout and edit your data, and it also offers more objects to edit, in a more reliable way. It is also cross-platform, so it works on both macOS and Windows!
The current version of MacAssistant Classic is 0.3. You can download it and play around with it for free, but you can expect it to be extremely buggy. If you want to support its development, you can purchase a license, which will also enable you to save your changes to a new save game file, that you can then load in the game!
Features
Currently the following features are available in MacAssistant Classic. As this app is heavily in development, you can expect very frequent updates that will be adding features, until we have a first public version:
- macOS 10.8+ compatibility, with the same native user interface that you're used to in MacAssistant RT!
- Windows 7+ compatibility with a great and easy to use native user interface!
- Support for the latest Football Manager 2016, Football Manager Touch for Mac/Windows/iOS/Android!
- Awards: Search / Edit Awards (100% complete)
- Cities: Search / Edit Cities (95% complete)
- Clubs: Search / Edit Club Information (about 40% complete) and Club Finances (98% complete)
Coming Soon:
The next update will provide the following new features:
- Competitions: Scout / Edit Competition information
To use MacAssistant Classic with your iOS/Android FM Touch 16, you will need to extract the save game file from your device, load it in MacAssistant, and after you're done editing, push it back to the device again.
Why two versions, and which should I get?
MacAssistant RT is a real-time scout/editor tool, which means it accesses the game data directly from the memory. MacAssistant Classic, on the other hand, loads the save game file to access and edit the data. This means that you can use MacAssistant Classic, even when the game is not running. The choice is yours!
Support the MacAssistant Project
You can support the development of this tool by purchasing a license which unlocks the editing features for the 2016 version. This is an one time upgrade which costs $7.00 (approx. £5.50/€6.50 + VAT (EU Supporters only) - the GBP/EURO price fluctuates depending on the exchange rates compared to USD).The license will be cross-platform which means you can use it on both Windows and Mac if you own both.

I think I figure I'm a natural because I root for you all the time.
Cheer Up~
Windows Football Manager 2016: C:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1630\1630_fm\lang_db.dat
Mac Football Manager 2016: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2016/data/db/1630/1630_fm/lang_db.dat
For FM Touch / FM Classic replace "1630_fm" with "1630_fmc" in the path
@marco filipe it should be located in the game's data folder
great idea, but i play my fm16 through steam and load it the same way
will it still work on windows this way ?
