Frequently Asked Questions
TMG Pro Basketball 11 is a major upgrade from previous versions. The team file structure has changed, the player cards have changed. Current owners of previous versions have asked many questions about the new product.
Q: I purchased an earlier version of TMG
Basketball and want to upgrade to TMG 11. How will I receive my
free version 11 software?
A: Simply send an e-mail request to
tmgbasketball@sbcglobal.net . The full software package will be
sent to you attached to the reply to your message. If you do not
have a broadband connection, or your network blocks large
attachments, you can receive the software on CD for free with any
card order.
Q: Are my team files compatible with TMG
11?
A: No. TMG 11 has a new team file structure. Be sure to ask
for team files matching those card sets that you have already
purchased. This can be done in the same e-mail requesting TMG 11.
There is no time limit on this offer. You can have the new team
files e-mailed to you at any time.
Q: I have a project running with
an older version of TMG Pro Basketball. Will I be able to
convert these team files to the new format and preserve my
accumulated statistics?
A: There is no automatic conversion for this. With basic
spreadsheet skill, manual conversion is not a major task.
Instructions for the procedure will be posted on one of the support
forums. The procedure is a matter of adding three additional fields
to your existing files with easy-to-obtain information.
Q: Is TMG 11 that much better than
earlier versions?
A: Easily. The update is free. After playing TMG 11, you
will not want to go back to your previous version. It should be
noted here that TMG 11 will not disrupt the current install of TMG
2010c or any other earlier installation. It installs as a completely
new program. You can host both versions on the same computer at the
same time.
Q: Are my player cards still good?
A: Yes. The "numbers" have not changed. The new cards are smaller
and do not have printed backs. This allows for a price reduction
instead of a price increase, as well as opening up more desktop room
and tapping into card management accessories available for
standard-sized sports cards such as sleeves, and protectors. The new
cards have the same sized print face and are just as readable as the
older cards.
