I'm pleased to announce that Eugene is working on Genie Scout 17, the new version for Football Manager 2017.
FM Genie Scout has always been the world's favorite scout utility for Football Manager since its very first appearance to the scene.
We pride ourselves on exclusively releasing this legendary tool since 2009. We always try our best to deliver Genie Scout to the world every year because your support to this project is outstanding.
Genie Scout 16 introduced a key new feature (In-Game Scout) and a couple of significant improvements (Rating System, Progress Rate) in recent years.
For Genie Scout 17, Eugene won't have enough time to work on new features. However, the plan is to make GS17 work with the same features that GS16 had.
The 64-bit Problem
There is one problem this year. FM 2017 introduced a 64-bit version for the first time. If your operating system is x64, then you will automatically get the 64-bit version of FM17. Why is that a problem? Well, Genie Scout has always been 32-bit and with 64-bit a lot of things change.
Eugene will eventually figure this out, I'm sure of it.
FM Genie Scout 17 Release Date
Public edition
As usual we won't make any promises on the release date of the public version, but we should be able to release it during November.
"g" edition
The "g" edition, which is the one for people who donate is going to be available as soon as Eugene finds a way to make the 64-bit version work. Hopefully just before or during the weekend of 22-23 October.
Reminder: The "g" edition is ad-free and has a few extra features compared to the public edition.
