Update 2.0

Miranza FC 2.0

First of all, an apology. To everyone who played Miranza FC and thought it was a good game: sorry. It was nowhere near ready. We've spent the last few months reworking almost everything, and now we can say, with a straight face, that it's actually good. And for the first time, it speaks your language. If you liked it before, it's entirely our fault that you'll like it even more now.

A note about saves

So much has changed under the hood that saves from the previous version probably won't work in 2.0. We know losing a career hurts, and we're sorry about that too. It was the price of a more complete game, and we think it's worth starting fresh. If your old save does load, great, but we can't promise it will.

UIF Dates: the Miranza national team is here

Four times a season, club football stops for the national team. These are the UIF Dates, with two Miranza matches in each window.

• Your players can get called up. The email arrives with the squad list, and you know right away how many games you'll be without them.
• You can release a player with no conditions or ask the national team to manage his minutes.
• The league doesn't always stop at the same time. When it doesn't, your club plays short-handed, and it's up to you to plan for it.

Having a player in the national team is now a point of pride and a headache at the same time. As it should be.

Copa Magna: the continent is at stake

Miranza isn't alone in the world anymore. The Copa Magna brings together 32 clubs from several countries in a proper continental competition.

• The draw has a date on the calendar. Finding out your group is half the fun.
• Eight groups of four, home and away. Then the knockout rounds, also over two legs, all the way to a one-off final at a neutral ground.
• Its own top-scorer chart, including the goalscorers from foreign clubs.
• Every run by a Miranza club earns points for the country, and those points decide how many places Miranza gets in future seasons.

Reaching the Copa Magna changes your season. Going deep in it changes football in the whole country.

The game now speaks your language

Miranza FC is now fully available in Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, English and Spanish. News, events, emails, Vox Social, the MiranzaPédia, all of it. And if you switch language mid-season, everything already published switches too.

The match

• Matches are now played move by move. Goals, cards, injuries and substitutions all come from what happens on the pitch.
• The manager actually uses the bench: there are five substitution windows, and fresh legs make a difference late on.
• A red card really hurts now, and suspensions for yellow cards are counted separately in each competition.
• A new post-match screen, with stats, a match report and a rating for every player.

A bigger world

• Série B is now fully played, with three teams going up and three going down.
• Eleven countries, simulated leagues and a transfer market that runs worldwide.
• A calendar that adjusts itself, a pre-season with friendlies you choose, and a warning when the week gets too crowded.

Life as president

• The shirt is negotiated space by space: chest, back, hem and shorts. More brands bring in more money, but each one is worth less.
• The launch of the new kit makes the news, with its own artwork in each paper.
• The press writes more, each paper in its own voice, about what actually happened at your club.
• Vox Social has been rebuilt. Fans comment, papers react, the feed follows your whole season, and you can now open it full size.
• A new tutorial. Your club is now introduced to you by your vice-president.

Everything else

There are also dozens of fixes and balance tweaks we won't list here, because nobody needs to read about them. You'll feel them when you play.

Thanks to everyone who played, gave feedback and stuck with us this far. A lot of this version came out of those conversations.

See you in Miranza.
