News - FM Genie Scout for FM 2011 is confirmed
There was a screenshot from the forthcoming FM Genie Scout 11 posted on a Ukrainian forum by the author himself. The screenshot proves that Eugene is already working on the Genie Scout for FM 2011, which is great!


We spoke with Eugene and he confirmed that Genie Scout 11 is under development. We'll get our hands upon a pre-beta version during the coming weeks and we'll keep you posted on the progress.
We have also arranged for a fresh exclusive mini interview with Genie's author; probably to be published next week...

Here's the screenshot that was "leaked" from the pre-alpha version, showing Dinamo Kiev team:


Before you start asking about when the new Genie Scout 11 will become available for download, let me say this: We don't know yet, it will be out when it's ready... and obviously after the FM 2011 Demo comes out

    I feel like whean I was 12. I´m from slovakia and it was the first years after revolution in 1989. The first satelite antenns was instaling. Every day, when I come back from school I tried all frequences on our old Toshiba TV if there are new channels already on, becaouse till that time we had only Slovakia 1 and 2 channel :)) . I had to wait for a half year, from instaling antenna till new foreign channels was on. And every time I tried frequences it was intense feeling :))
    And this is deja vu, I´m waiting very intense too! But I´m 32 and stil like a boy :))
    P.S.: Sorry for my English

    Nevermind the car accident thing.

    Where is the forum page that I can read about what was explained about this situation.
    I'm on the middle of the third season, regens are popping up I need this sooo badly :'( Hope you're doing a good work that's worth the waiting Eugene.

    Cheers

    @mnogueira: Apologies accepted. I'm as frustrated as you are about it, but there's nothing I can do than simply wait. Eugene has a family to feed now and his free time has been chopped off as of late. Genie Scout 11 is still in development and not ready yet, unfortunately.

    Just to set things straight, the only promise I made here was about having a fresh interview and a sneak preview of the pre-beta in terms of impressions. I broke this promise because Eugene did the same to me, but it happens. We set priorities and try to abide by them; it doesn't always work out.

    I want to apologize to stam and Eugene for criticizing the work for both 2. Sorry Eugene, take the time you need to complete the greatest tool to scout the planet and we should all show respect for this man who gives us good moments of fun. Stam also ask to apologize because it works for everyone to have satisfaction and put this post was to give us joy to know that the genie is going to be released.

    Stam Sorry, you have had an excellent work on this site and we can only say thank you and show you the greatest respect.

    P.S- my English is no big deal :P

    News from Genie (from FM Ukraine)(translated by Google translate):

    Well, I really have nothing to add. I can not even promise that will be released in 2 months. I do not want to be selfish, but I'm for him money is not paid (not counting the $ 5.10 per month = donate). In contrast to the work for which complete obstruction at least until the end of the year. Dam - is when you come to work every day around 8:30-10:00 + Saturday workday. That if no family ... I even English Cruz for a couple of months had to be abandoned.
    I can only say that he is almost ready. Should be about 2 or 3 days of pure time naispravlenie couple of bugs and adding one more interesting features. So, will be done when it's done. Sorry

    Take it easy folks... theres a common saying in my country which goes: "Limosnero y con garrote"(Spanish) which a translation to English will be "Beggar and with a stick" and thats the behavior we are having with all this genie scout thing; we are expecting to get something for FREE and we demand in a ridiculous way that it must be delivered in our convenience; have you come to think that every minute Eugene spends developing Genie 11 is a minute he doesn't shares with his son/girlfriend/daughter/wife/family ?? I bet much of the people who post daily comments demanding for the scout to be delivered are the same guys that will not come around to the site or forums until the new patch comes out and they are in the need of the new version of genie

    @muadhi: Getting embarrassing? I think it's already embarrassing and can't do any worse. But like I said before it's not MY project to release. I do understand the frustration, but I really am replying to anything that is worth replying to, sometimes just to set the line straight. If something is repeating without reason, there's nothing to answer to that and I just don't bother. I'm always honest with everything and I expect people to respect that. If you don't appreciate my approach, you can try another site. And yes lesson learned; next time I won't announce anything until I have the program ready for release.

    it is logical that with all this time to pass without any official communication from eugene. It is normal that people start getting bored. And to further annoy Stam is normal because it is the medium for us to know news about eugene. There is no way upset about the Stam but I think it should already have some news or official date. Either we must thank the Stam and Eugene as they to us because we who are one of them recognized worldwide FM

    Best regards

    @Stam: thank for your answer, anyway you understand that this thing about Genie Scout 11 is getting embarrassing…
    The fact that you rarely answer its true, just count your answers on this whole thread.
    And i also said that i recognize the work and passion (compliment to you) that theres on this website and that i love it.
    When you publish something, it is normal receive some critics, but that doesn't mean you are doing a bad job.

    @azabetts: in case you didn't notice, i don't use Genie Scout, so basically i don't really care if it will come out or not (80% won't in my opinion).
  • azabetts's avatar
    some people are so disrespectful its untrue
    @ muadhi
    "eople has the right to get upset about all this thing"
    No they dont,
    Eugene does this gives this away for free? So half of your comment about testing the market is completely irrelevant
    tbh if i was eugene id tell you all to jump off a cliff and i wouldnt release the code because of how disrespectful your being
    so shut up and wait like the rest of us...yea im a bit annoyed its not out yet because im impatient but having a go at eugene will just delay the process and give him a reason to not bother making the next 1

    @muadhi: Max, you got it all wrong here. Did you see me curse in my native language or any other language? If I don't do it, nobody else should be, and I don't care if it's normal or not because there are certain rules here.

    Is it really my fault? OK, so it's MY fault because:

    - I proudly announced it because Eugene confirmed it himself through an email to me... and it was a month after it appeared on the Ukrainian forum, because I was waiting for his confirmation first.

    - I never disappear, and I have already explained everything that happened and all I know on the forum thread about it.

    - Should I really care about how many downloads Genie will get? I'm not producing the program, releasing a late program is not my fault; I'd release it before demo if I had it.

    - Like I said, I'm here every day and I already said what I know in the forums. So next time you try to judge me, be more careful.

    This site doesn't exist because it receives traffic, traffic just helps to pay the expenses. This site exists because I have been working on it on my own for the past 6 years, and for the most part I was paying from my pocket for the costs. It exists because it's something I love doing and as long as this continues, it shall not cease to exist.
  • muadhi's avatar
    Stam, its not necessary that you act so bossy, people has the right to get upset about all this thing, and its normal to curse in our original languages when we get pissed off, dont you as well?

    Indeed, if the situation got nervous, is YOUR fault for several reasons:

    - you proudly confirmed FM Scout 2011 on October 7th (2 months ago) without even be sure about it, just hearing a fake news on an ukrainian forum

    - after you realized it, you just disappeared, without even answering to the people who visits this website really often, and in the few comments you made here, you appeared even annoyed that the people was asking news about it, while i guess we deserve some assistance since we create intense traffic on the website (and this counts when you wanna get something from advertising) and some of us contribute with several downloadable files.

    - Game is out from long time now, lot of people already played it and customized it, in my city is already on sale! And i am sure that if genie scout 11 would come out today, there would be at least half of the downloads than 1 month ago.

    - Again, i think you know whats going on, symptom is that you never show up here, FM Scout 11 won't come out isnt it? Or maybe "eugene" is checking out whats the market interest about the product in order to decide about making the product shareware (if is this the case, let me tell you what a bad strategy is act like this)?

    Anyway, i generally i always loved this website, and i understand how much passion and work theres in it, i personally use FMSX because i am mac, but i have appreciated FM scout in the past.

    Just a couple of suggestions for you Stam: next time annouce something when you are SURE you got it, and try to be patient and cohoperative (answering more often and giving more infos) with the guys here, because without them, this website wouldnt exist anymore.

    Best Regards,

    Max

    every person has the personal matters..so be respect to him..keep up your good work eugene! and thanks for the tools..it helps so much..
  • itchyeyeball's avatar
    I get annoyed when people use terms such as "idiots" when someone has a differing view to there own. I have played Football Manager/Championship Manager since the early ninties when it first came out. In those days I was single and had loads of time to devote to the the game, these days I am married with a family so my time is very limited so the scout allows me to take short cuts and still enjoy the game I love to play.Eugene seems to be in the same position, he used to be single but now he has a family and his time to devote to the scout is limited so the delay in the scout is fully understandable. Is it now time for him to release the program he uses for the scout to the general community so that people far cleverer than me can take it on and improve it.Eugene will always be the " Bill Gates" of the program but with many minds working on the project the scout will become the mega application Eugene and the community all want.

    @JDvzs: Genie's latest activity on the FM Ukraine website was yesterday, so I don't think he had a car accident, or he had, and he recovered :-). Guess we just have to be patient, Genie Scout is a great tool which is worth the wait
  • nebilsin's avatar
    This program is too late = (
  • banngr's avatar
    @VolSh0ck: You do realise the way you have grammatically constructed your post means that Eugene says everything. Its called a double negative and doesn't really make sense.

    There's no date and I've already explained the situation in the forums. All repeating comments and questions regarding Genie's release will be deleted on sight from now on. Same applies to any non-English ones.
