mattyw_1874 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 How can it help with international management? I've only used it with clubs, so any success stories with FMRTE in international management would be welcomed by me please. Its more the search tool in FMRTE. Allows you to find second nationalities very easy. Shows you up and coming kids to keep an eye on. Squad selection becomes easier just more tidy than the "national pool".

Ravencaine Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 New version online now. but u will have to make a small donation to unlock all the features seems fair to me as it must take hours of work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_magic Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So you now have to pay to use this as it seems you are unable to use any features. Seems like FMRTE is now money motivated and unless you donating don't download as it is useless. EDIT: Also I am sure that SI have rules about charging for Third party items, So to have to pay to use it seems an infringement of this rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC1984 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks for the replies re: international management, will try it out next time I manage an international team.

I am sure this thread/post will also be removed/locked due to the change too. I don't mind paying a Euro for it personally but perhaps there are other ways to make sure the project is supported financially and the time spent by the developer is rewarded without risking potential litigation from Sega. I believe the main FMRTE website already has advertising which probably brings in some revenue plus plenty of people already donating to the project voluntarily. It's certainly no longer a 'donation' though if it's necessary to pay to use the software and if posts/links regarding FMRTE are removed, thus limiting any ability to 'advertise' what is now a commercial venture, it's user base numbers will drop dramatically over time as there will be no new customers. Risky move really and probably the wrong one - legally dubious to offer commercial services for a proprietary product and the risk of being cut off from future customers could cause the same end result it was trying to avoid - the end of the FMRTE project.

gipsy Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 assuming the software is not removed by SEGA due to the third party thingy being paid for, will we have to make a "donation" each time a new version of FMRTE is released? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpatKopite Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Personally I think SI/Sega would be well served by offering thier own real time editor with similar functionality as optional DLC for added revenue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shear9 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Maybe what they need to do is have everything work on the free download except for the save, so if you want it for editing instead of just a scout then you have to pay! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashworth Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I do not see the problem with paying, but this payment should be valid for all updates. I would expect to pay for each new yearly version, as this is like DLC offered by many games nowadays. What I do have an issue with is that when you do make a payment that you should receive your licence key instantly. I paid over an hour ago and have heard nothing. Or maybe it is me just being inpatient? UPDATE - I sent a donation in pounds which was not recognised. I made a new donation in € and I received my licence key!

JoeGraham Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Paying is a joke, FMRTEs developers have consistently used the language of 'donation'. That is totally void now, it should be 'fee'.

BungleFish Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 see imho this is a really bad idea, now whilst i dont begrudge Ruci the money, FMRTE will not make it past this version as so many people will refuse to pay for something thats always been free i hope he stops calling it a "donation" though as it really isnt one of them anymore, its being forced apon us so its just now a FEE..... oh and get something else other than paypal to "donate" with, i HATE paypal with a passion and refuse to use it.... i cant play the game the way i want to anymore which makes me a very sad panda Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosudos Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 To my knowledge Eugene only asks for a donation to gain access to other options that were never available in the past versions. If ruci wanted to make more money he should have kept fmrte free as it is and do the "donation" thing for additional options he was going to provide in the future. I don't think it's smart making people having to donate to use features that were available before. I don't think SI will like this either. So my advice is, go back to fmrte how it was and just lock the new features you add in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the official FM Genie Scout homepage. I'm very grateful and appreciate all donations, because without support this project will die. I hope that people will understand my decision to use adverts on the public version. Genie Scout comes in two versions. Public version has 2 banners, when the limited version doesn't have any ads.
