psucolonel Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I currently have FM on Steam...but I am thinking of switching over to Stadia. I have a couple of questions however. 1. Is Stadia really that much better in that you can run all of the leagues within FM without any issue regardless of your CPU specs? 2. Will I have to re-purchase FM in order to switch platforms? 3. Overall is it worth it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekluse Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I haven't used Stadia, but for using it to play FM my biggest concern would be that I assume you can't install any mods? I couldn't play FM without face, logo, and kit packs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbmiz Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Here are my main drawbacks with Stadia version of FM - - unable to download and apply any mods or skins. - also unable to download tactics, so if you find a killer tactic you’d have to recreate it manually and hope that someone also includes the individual player instructions. - unable to use “real name fix” as there aren’t any files to edit so Juve will remain Zebre etc. - there are no pre-game editors, only the same in-game editor you can purchase for the Steam version. - you’d also have to purchase another copy if you want to play it on Stadia. - each of the updates came much later (sometimes weeks) after the Steam version. Positives - - it does run better (but not necessarily smoother) on Stadia. I have a good laptop with 1 gbps interned and while the steam version was snappier, Stadia FM won’t get bogged down many seasons down the line. - super extended laptop battery life. Since playing FM on Stadia isn’t much different than browsing the internet with Chrome, I can play FM for 5+ hours on a full battery. - flexibility of playing in anywhere just by logging into your Stadia account. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintrainhard Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I thought Stadia should connect personal directory for games with google drive. Etc : Google Drive > Folder Name Stadia > Game Name > Game Data. So it will be GDrive > Stadia > Sports Interactive>FM2020>Game Data So this way Stadia will connect to Google Drive to read game data, so user can apply mod,packs,icon kit etc in this folder. And the this will drive Google Drive subscription too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that means that at some point we're able to modify the items you mention. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
