News - MacAssistant RT for FM14 is confirmed
We are delighted to announce that there will be a new version of MacAssistant RT for Football Manager 2014. Thanos (thanoulas) is working on it and hopefully it will be available to download soon.

MacAssistant RT was the only scout tool available for Mac OS X and Football Manager 2013. It's a great honor to continue the exclusive release of the only tool for Mac.

The new version will have support for OS X 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9. And it will be backwards compatible with Football Manager 2013. There are a few new features planned, but can't reveal anything specific about these at this point. There's also a plan to add editing functionality, which never made it to the FM13 version for various reasons.

Thanos needs 5 beta testers to help him to iron out any nasty bugs before making it available for public use. So if you want to be 1 of the 5 testers, post a comment below and he will send you a private message with details.

Mac users who have been counting on Genie Scout by using Winebottler (or similar) in previous years (until FM12), sadly GS14 won't work with Mac at all - same as with GS13.

    Hello, I asked on the MacAssistant download page and they said that it is not and will not be compatible for Mac OS X 10.6. I see you are, however, doing beta testing for 10.6- will this be available in the future as it is currently only from 10.7 and above on the download page?

    Hello, if you need I'm available to do the beta testers, I have both 10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9 (Yes I have many mac ...)

    People! Calm down please! Keep it friendly in here.
    Yes, I plan to add editing capabilities, eventually. I'm not impressed by SI's editor either.

    Don't raise your voice at me!!!!
  • scouscou's avatar
    astrit88: did you completely NOT read the post??? The development team clearly implied that editing IS the pipeline. I'm just seeking clarification as to when and how exhaustive it will be.

    Sidebar -- SI's IGE is terrible compared to third-party editors such as FMRTE.
  • astrit88's avatar
    Buy the in-game editor from SI if you want to edit :)
  • scouscou's avatar
    Will there be any editing capability in the release thats being made this week? What editing plans are there in general? Would love for something on Mac to be as powerful as FMRTe is on PC.

    You have PM!

    Anyone on 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion) willing to do a quick beta test? PM me

    Hi Thanos.
    I would like to help.
    Thanks.
  • thanoulas's avatar
    Hi all,
    beta testing is going well, we've identified two major bugs that I'm currently fixing. The only other thing missing for now is staff data, but once I'll fix the bugs this shouldn't take long. Expect a mid-week first release.

    Thanks
