Genie Scout Cheating?

[iArsenal]

Ok so I was just wondering what you guys thoughts are on Genie Scout? Do you label it as cheating or what? Also do you believe the scouts ingame more than the genie scouts? I mean there is a regen from Senegal who on genie scout is labelled as the next Per Mertesacker and has a PA of 173 but in the game his potential is 2.5 stars. Which one do you think is a correct assumption?

Genie scout cannot lie, it is always more reliable than in game scouts. That's why it is cheating, yes, but play the game how you like. You bought it after all.

I never use and never will use add ons to make the game easier, pointless imo.

Oh ok and thanks and also where do you guys think I can find the best scouts for Africa and Asia are? I can never seem to find any because I am looking to sign some good African / Asian regens.

You get the see things that the games doesnt want you to see ie CA/PA, so its an exploit and imo cheating
Takes away the challenge of the game, but if you want to play like that its your game

Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria are always hotspots for me. I don't scout Asia, but I'd imagine Japan's good for them.

I don't get why people say it takes away the fun/challenge or makes the game easy.

Sure you find all the best kids but you can do that on the game if you know where to look in what 10 minutes?

 

[iArsenal]

I meant like do you know any scouts that are good for those areas? Whenever I search for good scouts I always check for a CA and a PA of above 17 in each just wondering if there are any scouts from Africa that are that good?

 

[TJD07]

Nkomo(sp) is pretty decent, can't remember what his knowledge levels are though.

I wouldn't worry about looking for Asian ones, they never produce many decent regens so isn't worth the hassle.

Scouts in the game are ***** thats why people use the genie

Why dont you do that then if it only takes 10minutes. Then nobody will call you a cheater.

Knowing where to look is part of the 'challenge'. And it's much more satisfying to scout out and find your own superstar than have a 3rd party do it.

more fun doing it the ol' fashioned way rather than get a program tell you what to do. Wenger doesn't really spot the talent he just gets Genie Scout to do it! Don't know why people care about other people thinking they are cheating or not, it's your game do what you want!

Nobody called me a cheater and I never said I use Genie scout to find players?

Logic escapes you.

 

[iArsenal]

I really don't care if I'm called a cheater i'm not that great at the game I mean I do look for them by myself and have found some great ones but I can never find the good regens that are in Africa I usually can only find Brazilians and Argentinians and that gets a bit boring.

This thread crops up every couple of weeks.

Yes it's cheating. But it's your game, play it how you want.
