dabest Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i'm finding mini scout very hard to use? I can get genie to work as long as there is no human managers in the game and if the save file is not compressed. So when I want to use it I save my game, retire from football and then save as a different name. That new file should work on genie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I couldnt get Genie to work before but it HAS just run on my current save so it is worth a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_bob Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's working on my 2009 Man Utd save game. I use large data base ans the save is NOT COMPRESSED. I'm playing with 8.0.1 beta patch. This save game stop working in 2007 with the old genie scout, but with this last version of Genie works again.

Joelsue Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Still doesn't work.....waste of time! Oh and for the record, i think we all have every reason to bitch and moan - the program was PROMISED 4 months ago at which point Eugene asked for donations to keep it free. The guy's clearly a tech wizz but at no point in the past 120 days has he found the 30 seconds it takes to turn on his pc/laptop and type the following: "Sorry it's taking so long - best you stop donating" or "won't now be ready until april" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riza Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The author of the program has a real life as well, it takes much time and dedication to finish a project like FM Genie Scout. I believe he is a student in university as well, and that has kept him busy for quite some time. Be patient and I'm sure the final product will be worth it.

DS Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Looks like everyone loves Genie again. Annoying idiots saying he was done with it and wasnt going to make it. Also people were complain that he was making money from ads and donations , he has every right to, a program like that takes a lot of time. Now he has released some versions which work well yet people complain that it takes time for him to update it. Its been 4 days since the last update. It takes SI months to update a program we pay money for. Anyway dont bother using the positional ratings from Genie yet...there no good ATM until he updates them. MiniScout's positional ratings arent perfect neither but there a lot better right now. Genie is just good for searching with more detail ATM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I want happy with the "wait", I would never complain openly about it as it's freeware. But I agree that the MiniScout is now better than Genie because of the ratings. The Ability and PA just didn't crack it for me. I have my own formula for rating for each position on paper and I would manually enter it into an excel table and get me my rating. Glad to see that with MiniScout I have ratings much closer to the ones I have on excel than in genies. Genie was great the last 2 years, but this year it has been "outplayed" but it's newer competitor and I love it. Beter 2 than 0, right? Maybe next year Genie get's ahead and releases the FM09 version with better ratings and sooner. That being said I promised myself to donate when released so I'll hold to my word and donate as soon as I get my CC sorted out. 10 bucks for MiniScout and a fiver for Genie. Next year whoever comes first will get the extra fiver. This way I support both and give an incentive for an early release Go Genie and Go MiniScout.

DS Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 You could put your ratings into MiniScout or Genie. Anyway it just occurred to me to put MiniScout ratings into Genie scout and then I have the best of both worlds. The power and flexibility of Genie's search functions + the ratings from MiniScout.

loisvale Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi DS Some questions - hope you don't mind. What is wrong with Genies ratings and what needs to be done to fix them?(can only Genie do it) How do you know they are wrong and what makes Mini scouts better? - (This is the only part of both programs that really interests me)Just curious.

It does not take it into account properly. DJLM82 said the left foot, that is wrong, it's just the weaker foot in general and for a left footed player that's the right foot. Genie doesnt take into account the weaker foot enough as it is more important then any attribute but only a 5 is given to it when there are attributes with 100 given to them. I don't know what a good value for it would be but it would be more then 100. MiniScout's ratings take into account the weaker foot but its not so good for the other attributes but overall it is a better ratings system until Genie updates his ratings. You can edit the ratings in Genie by going to Ratings -> Edit Ratings on the menu bar. MiniScout's ratings can also be edited. You can copy the ratings from MiniScout and add them to Genie Scout so you have the better ratings of MiniScout along with the better search capabilities of Genie. If I decide to do it I will save the ratings file and upload it somewhere but right now I am to lazy to do it so I just use MiniScout to see how good my players are rated for each position.
