Will the save game editors and extra utilities (FM Scout etc) which were disigned for FM2005 work for FM2006?

Thanks people

They probably need to be slightly modified, I'm sure new "2006" versions will appear very shortly.

The short answer is no. They won't. FM Scout has had several revisions for the beta builds which we have been testing. I'm unsure whether SI will be releasing it, however.

And before you say that Michael Nygreen wrote it, I know that already.

As for MCFM, that is currently undergoing updating. The game structure hasn't changed greatly but there's always a little bit of tweaking to be done (if there wasn't, I'd want to question SI why I would be paying £20-30 for a game which has an identical structure to the last version *cough* one of the FIFA management series did this).

Bad news I've expected that the save game structure haven't changed so much that FM Scout 06 wouldn't be hard to make.
We'll see...

You shouldn't have expected that at all! It's never been constant so why would it change now? Granted, there hasn't been a huge change but it's big enough to merit some changes to our code.

Well, you've said yourself that FM Scout was already used in beta testing process. And I don't believe there's so much difference between beta and full version structures.
So I think it's more like Michael being busy with other stuff.

I meant with the game in general, from last year. Not the FM Scout used in the beta builds.

FM Scout will be available as soon as Michael has finished it off. He confirmed it somewhere yesterday.

Hey Sam, haven't seen you in a while. It's all change round here...

Hi,
That is great news about FM Scout.
I find that MCFM and FM scout are a must. Used them very much for FM05 not for cheating but mostly for player comparison and analysis. Gave you the possibilty to compare information on one handy document.
Anwyay in the mean time that both of these great work are out, just a simple query (not a programmer just an addict):
Looking on the possibility to be able to export the squad players and attributes from the saved game file of FM06. Used FM Scout to do this a lot as it allowed me to keep track of my team's players, progression and attributes on one sigle spreadhseet.
Is there anything else that can be used, even manual !!
Thanks a lot for any suggestion.
