Wanson Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 eugene is being a bit too formal and official for my liking. plus with all the talk during the development of the previous version of commercialising Genie, im getting a tad worried I'd gladly pay for it.

merridius Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'd gladly pay for it.

If you cant afford it, dont use it. Simple right. If he can release the genie scout on the same day or day after the FM release, i gladly pay for.

Richard76 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Whilst I would happily pay for the program, he certainly deserves paying for all his hard work, I feel that due to file sharing/torrents etc selling the program would be pretty pointless. I doubt any security to prevent copying could be in built to the software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Sorry to rush in without readin entire threads on the subject but need to get back to work asap..... What is the status of a Genie Scout (or any decent scout)?? I really don't have time to play FM anymore without the shortcut of a scout utility and gave up on FM08 because Genie didn't seem to be doing one. ....so before I waste €40 on FM09 can someone tell me if a scout will or is available?

Ta. A Until GenieScout comes out, you can always use FMAgent. Its not as good as Genie, you cant look at attributes and there are no player ratings. However, you can still filter by CA and PA which is a major part of a scouting tool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deek123 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Genies site unavailable, maybe being prepared for scout release!

Abaddon879 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 When have Si ever sold the game with a scout utility? To many it is seen as cheating. They have scouts for that, which retain some of the realism of the game. Otherwise they would just give you a list of the players to buy to make your team world beaters. It has always been down to the community to produce these utilities as far as Im aware Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep_dave Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 To be honest, i actually feel a bit guilty using scout tools in this version. The in-game scouts now are actually quite competent, and have led me to buy a couple of gems. The only issue I have with them is that they're too slow to uncover these gems and I accidentally enabled attribute masking. So by the time I find good regens, Chelsea have already signed them, grr!! That said, I still cant wait til Genie comes out, its SOOOO good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phenomx3 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 jeeze leave the poor guy alone. stop expecting him to do what YOU want him to do. If he releases it great...if not...then so be it.

There is a lot of people including myself that wont play the game without a scout as I just haven't got the time to manually search for players, If they included a scout on the disk then it is up to the individual user whether to use it or not.

As it is there is no choice but to wait until someone produces a Scout utility. There are scouts in the game you know. They're actually quite good in this version too. The fact that they keep searching without you having to continually give them new assignments makes them even more useful. And you can set them to search the world - what a great job that would be. I'm looking forward to genie scout coming out as much as anybody else, but for the first time I can play the game as I'd like without it. I've already found loads of great 15-16 yr olds through my in-game scouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
