Accurate Sale Value?

I am currently running the full version of FM Genie Scout, whilst I wait for Littleblue to release a Mac Scout. The problem I'm having is the accuracy of sale values... are there any editors that are hitting the metaphorical nail on the head every time with its valuations?

I've been told that the sales values are created 'on the fly' so to speak, ie they depends on alot of values and are generated dynamically.

Just get a scout to get a report on a player you like and it gives you a rough guide in the report. I find this a lot more useful and have signed a many of player using this method.

With a very, very simple mod, you don't need any tool to show you accurate sales value! You can see it inside the game.

Just check the following link. I can confirm that it does work:

when was this released!?! absolute genius

amazing... Merry Christmas!

Nice one!!!

I"ve tried it and I always get "Unkown" next to the asking price.

great!! it works! thanks to all who made this happen!

Hmm.

When i downloaded the file and extracted it, it did not create a folder just two separate .xml files.

I created a folder, didn't name it (just called new folder) placed the files into it and then placed the folder into my documents\sportsinteractive\football manager 2009.

Made the changes in preferences but i cannot see the prices. A 'prices' column was not generated.

What was the generated folder that you gentlemen ended up with called?

Ok, brilliantly i did not see that it should be called 'panels'. Renamed the file and now it works.

Cool! I can get it to work using the default FM09, but it doesn't work using the Steklo skin. Do you have to include the unzipped files in the panels folder of the Steklo skin too?

nah u shudnt have to proteus, working with flex skin for me! on another note, why do my own players have a price value?

I"ve tried it and I always get "Unkown" next to the asking price.

I am getting the same also - Asking price is Unknown

If you're getting the 'Unknown' problem, add the player in question to your shortlist and there should be a column called 'Price' with the sale value in it.

Ok lets try that.

One more thing though...When the new patch is out - Will this still work?

Who knows? But people say that this works since FM2008. So, hopefully, it will keep on working with the new patch.

on another note, why do my own players have a price value?

Mine have too. I don't bother with it. Maybe it means the maximum value other teams are willing to pay? But I've a couple players with over 100M there, so not sure about that.

Probably the Steklo skin already contains new versions of these files? Check the "panels" folder there.

If, indeed, it does contains these files, you may need to be careful, otherwise you might end up removing some added functionality that the skin might have.

If this is the case, don't worry, this works by just adding a simple line:

<flags id="Papr"/>

to the appropriate xml files. So, you can add this capability to already existing xml files, even add it to other views, etc. Check the xml files I linked to above, search for "papr" and, hopefully, it will become very clear what you need to change.

Even these aren't entirely accurate.

Maybe someone from Sigames can advise how to conjour up such a programme?

ive bought 30 players so far using this and can say it is largely accurate. of course clubs ask for add ons etc. esp. for younger players but nearly every player's "price" was what i ended up paying!

I'm getting the 'Unknown' problem too, and it didn't work on any player I tried it on. I put them all on my list, and nothing..

Can someone help us with this problem?

For the people who are having trouble, I think you may be looking in the wrong place.

You can't look at the individual player to see their value, you must be looking at the entire team. So whatever player you want to know about, look at their team's "Player" page, Click on "Views" on the top right, and choose "Transfer". It shows all the players for the team, which isn't perfect, but it's easy enough.

Thank you:D.

This work great:thup:

It took me a couple minutes to figure it out as well. Just wanted to spread some knowledge on the subject.

Genius!!!!

top graw stuff!!!!!

Do you have to make a folder called "panels" or do you just put them straight in?

Done that and the value I see is the regular player value you always see. The columns are: PKD, INF, NAME, TRANFER OPTIONS, TRANSFER STATUS, LOAN STATUS and VALUE

You have to reload the skin. Go into preferences and untick "Use Skin Cache" and tick "Always Reload Skin On Confirm" then click confirm.

i tested with this and i find it working...

thx~~

just extract the file and paste both xml files into the skin's panel folder..

example: my documents\sportsinteractive\football manager 2009\skins\tumma\panels

Is there a way of gettin this to work on the player profile ive tried endlessly with no luck it seems the id it flags Papr doesnt work on the profiles page.

Yeh player profile would be good what about getting in on the selection page? I personally would much rather it there than on the transfer page.

Done it now was fairly simple

Go to the player search screen

No one got any ideas of gettin this workin on Player Profile thn?

Does this work with FM08?

Thanks

So is any of the scouting tools released actually have accurate sales values as of yet? I really dont like using the panels application so I am still waiting for a scouting tool to work properly

No non have accurate sale values. The panels thing is much better just would be useful to get in in the player profile and how i've tried. I've moved it to selection screen and other but player profile it wont work.

The value also appears on your shortlist screen(s) - which seems the ideal place for me.

I'm often finding that when I bid the price listed by this mod it's still rejected. Either it's not wholly accurate, or more likely that's a reflection of the dynamic nature of the coding now.

If the player is in a different league from yours, I find that it usually is 100% correct. But, if it's on the same league as yours, I believe there is another factor: club rivalry. This causes the prices to, sometimes, skyrocket. If this is the case, we should consider that the shown price value is accurate for clubs outside of current league. For me it's good enough.

i've never used megaupload before. could someone tell me how to download the file once i get to the megaupload homepage? do i have to pay or anything?

cheers

Yeah, I've found that the price of the player I'm bidding for changes continuously. I understand that a player's valuation is now dynamic and therefore liable to change.

For example, say I look at the value this tool produces for Sean St Ledger, I notice it's £1m, and therefore I enter a bid of £1m in for him, I know that his club will typically reject my bid and then, when I re-check the valuation the tool produces, it will have inevitably increased to, say, £2.5m the following day/week/month.

This occurs when I'm Burnley. Is this tool only accurate when you buy players outside of your own league?

Cheers

i just wish someone would make their scouting tool have accurate sales values - it is really important if you manage a club with a small transfer budget to make sure you are bidding for players that are in your budget

not one bid exepted.

Its just as inaccurate as the rest, well for me anyway...

Try and offer slightly more that what this quotes, seems to work for me. Because if you notice, when you offer the price stated it goes up slightly so aim to offer this price.

But it seems t obe pretty accurate for me anyway.

You're still looking for a fixed value when the system is now dynamic. The AI just doesn't work the old way, the way you want it to. It might be frustrating, but it's far more realistic now.

It hasnt been wrong for me yet.

I think theres a little bit to do with Burnley and Preston being local rivals.

Could be. But it happens with players from other teams too. I'm Newcastle just now and I'm experiencing the same problem.
