Popular Post Ruh Roh Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Sure it's too early to answer (and kind of a niche question) but will it be possible to add editor files with this? I'm sure there won't be a steam workshop, but just the files on a thumb drive or something like that? The big draw to running FM on Stadia looks like it'll be increased processing speed, and I have some editor files that are too big and slow to run on my computer. Like, if you can get one of those 12-tier England files to run at normal FM speed, I think people would be interested in that.

Jon06WHUFC Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Really looking forward to this! Been playing FM Touch for the past few years but I think this news will mean I go back to playing the full FM as it will run on my Pixelbook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Indeed, I would subscribe if you could load all the leagues, would be amazing really, if there's a game for Stadia, Gloud or cloud gaming is this one. Otherwise I would just stick to PC, that's the selling point and what makes the difference. Edited June 6, 2019 by Martini Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Good news. To be honest, though, this would probably only interest me if you could still use mods (which I highly doubt). If not, then I'll stick with Steam. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has the potential to be huge, for example for people who don't have a good laptop, load up your save at a mate's house to show them stuff, play a big final round your mates', mess about with your team on your phone/tablet. And yes, get through seasons as fast as your fingers can manage it. But mods would be impossible, fake Germany only, that kind of thing....

DementedHammer Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 It sounds fantastic to me. Absolutely fantastic. The idea of being able to open up a Chrome browser at work and spending half an hour going through my shortlists or training schedules would be a very welcome addition to my FM experience. Personally, (because I want the option to play FM anywhere, even though I don't really have the time anymore) I currently play FM on five devices. Three of those devices were actually purchased pretty much solely for use with FM, so Google Stadia would definitely allow me to scale back on my hardware. Also, even my best spec PC, although it has a pretty grunty processor, it only has the inbuilt graphics card. So, the in-game graphics experience via Google Stadia would probably be a big improvement, especially with gigabit fiber at home. For those questioning the viability of add-ons: I'm making an assumption here, but if we create a game on our local PCs using editor files, then save the game file to the cloud, in theory, we'll be able to continue our games via Google Stadia. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

99 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 This could be amazing news!

markyosullivan Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I really really really hope mods with at least face packs and kit packs will be included. Don't think any word could describe how disappointed I would be if they didn't have kit / face packs Imagine loading all the leagues and it processing immediately. Wow.

Given the game would be stored on Google's servers, I'm not seeing how face packs, kit packs, skins or any other mods would work with it, since you wouldn't have access to their servers to add those packs, and given the licensing issues around the face/kit packs, league names, etc, I doubt either SI or Google would want to risk the ire of EA (who hold most of those licences) in letting people use them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it downloads it to your PC on the Steam Workshop - plus, they've not said that there will be Steam on the Stadia, so it would appear that this version of the game works outside of Steam, like the mobile and touch versions for tablets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

masno Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 If I’m not wrong,some moons ago someone from SI said they couldn’t make big changes in the game cause they had a significant number of users in low specs (not in this exactly words), could this mean that in the future (in case that stadia actually works and FM continues there) FM can actually look on doing big upgrades in the game without worry about losing players?

Maybe in the distant future. But not any time soon. Stadia won't even be available across the world and will require a fast and stable internet connection many can't get access to. It's hard to see it being anything more than a small percentage of sales - most will still be playing the traditional way for several years yet at least.

vangto Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hoping this will be the full PC game and let me play it everywhere, I didn't get 19 because my laptop won't do it justice and 18 was too slow. Last one I really enjoyed was 16 so hope a break and the new platform will reignite my FM passion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr U Rosler Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Interesting. I trialed 'Shadow' and FM was one of the better experiences as that Xeon CPU crunched through processing much better than my crappy i5 7300hq. As FM isn't about graphics, the video compression didn't bother me. Will likely check this out on release.

johnnyyakuza78 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 This is a game changer for me. I had some interest in Stadia before, but FM2020 being there is BIG. I've been buying PCs for decades and using them almost exclusively to play games, quite often FM games. Knowing that I don't have to do that in the future makes a big difference. Plus these days I'm limited to Laptops, and FM doesn't work great on smaller screens. The idea that could play FM on my huge Samsung Smart TV any time I wanted and wouldn't have to keep buying new computers is very exciting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFootball Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 If (and it's a big if) editing, facepacks, skins etc can be used with Stadia, then it's a no brainer. Stadia would be the superior place to play FM. However, I don't like the idea of paying a subscription fee, along with paying for individual games. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Stewart91 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I don't think skins, facepacks, et cetera will be viable with Stadia. The hardware and software is at Googles end. You are streaming the game. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrance Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I haven't played since FM16 because I don't have an appropriate computer for the full version.

mrjohnkennedy Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Same here Terrance, FM17 was the last stable version my machine could manage.

Stevicus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'm quite excited for this. I think FM 08 was the last time I was able to play without worrying about my pc specs at all. And I've had a new laptop every three or four years and they've usually been entry level basic laptops. So FM has been a bit of a grind for me for a decade now. This was actually the year I was going to build a proper PC and say goodbye to having about 4 nations loaded with a small database but I may hold back for now and see how this Stadia thing works.
