FM Modifier - Scout Rating???

Hi peeps,

First time poster and apologies if this question has been asked and answered but I have searched high and low both in this forum and others around.

On FM Modifier you can obviously see Current Ability & Potential ability of plyers plus lots more helpful bits but I also notice on the player screen, a rating (very similar to Genie Scout) for that player in a certain position. eg Ronaldinho AMC (72.2)/(75.2).

I cross checked this with Genie Scout and it was Ronaldinho AMC (82.3/85.9). As you can see, it is very similar and as we all know Current abilities and potential abilities can often be the wrong thing to go by if their positional rating is low.

So, my question is, does anyone know if on FM Modifier this is in fact a scout rating that is accurate, but maybe not as accurate as FM Genie Scout. If it is, I think a lot of people will begin to use FM Modifier as a scout tool whilst waiting for FM Genie Scout.

I hope this is clear and happy to dump any screenshots of what i mean, if someone can explain how to do it.

Look forward to replies.

yeh i know what you mean. the scout is more correct in my opinion.

because on FMM daniel alves had 80´+ in rating as a striker. so the ratings on scout are much better than in those on FMM.

fmm is for cheating, but if u need stats, ratings and such then genie scout is the one you should trust

Yeh Scout is more accurate, but i consider both FMM and Genie Scout cheating... I have them but I don't use them...(that often)...=D

i totally agree with both points, even the cheating one :), but I like the utility for scouting only. i think if you use the first player screen rather then the team list screen on fm modifier, you can see what it reccomends as the players best position. i too have seen defenders with better scout ratings in goal then my goalkeeper

however, because genie scout is redundant after one season, at least u can use fm modifier as a stop gap thereafter.

there is also the analysis of the player on the fmm so is really good for scouting (not as much as cheating tool).8) (you see i have great experience on cheating)
but i have a problem and if it is not trouble for you fellas i would like to know what does (unknown0067) or thinks like that means, on the relations page of each player. thanks for even reading:blush this :blush

I have no idea, but i use them for new Relationships with clubs or players. It also creates a new 'Unknown____' line to use for new Relationships as well.

the unknown is a 'new personal thingy thing'

what im trying to say is that if u for an exampel offer that player to other clubs and he doesnt like it then he might start to dislike u, so in that perspective a "unknown" will be created, but if u then do more bad things with him so he hates u more then slowly it will show that he hates u.

i hope u get it, it says unknown, but after a while it will turn into something different, like favoured personall or anything.

there is also the analysis of the player on the fmm so is really good for scouting (not as much as cheating tool).

what do you mean by analysis of player?

thanks RedArmy20 very understandable!!!

analysis is the sixth button from top on the rigth of the fmm2.23 for fm2008 (that is what i use) that is called analysis and gives right in front of your eyes the basic atributes of each players position. so for example i see a winger that has acceleration, pace, crossing and dribbling over 15 and costs 220k i buy him and he is a great winger for my ethnikos team:wink

wow never knew about this

i notice some positions dont mention the attributes to take into account - mc for example?

it is true superhands, i had not ever search for just mc. try and search for dmc or amc that he can play in mc position. i think it will work for you as well it works for me:)

i am really excited about this, how sad

i dont see the need to use fmm ever again really
