Frequently Asked Questions
TMsg Pro Basketball (13.0) 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
TMsg Basketball and want to upgrade to TMsg Basketball ? How can I
obtain the current vertsion /product.
A: The full version is FREE on the
DOWNLOADS page.
Q: Are my old team files compatible with TMsg Basketball?
A: Maybe. TMsg 11.0 introduced a new team file
structure. Old files only work with versions
before
11.0 , so older TMsg software
versions must remain on your computer if you want to play with the
older cards.
Q: Is TMsg that much better than
earlier versions?
A: Easily. The update is free. After playing TMsg
you will not want to go back to your previous version unless you
have started a project with TMsg Basketball version before 11.0 . It
should be noted here that TMsg will not disrupt the current install
of TMsg 2010c or any other earlier installation. It installs as a
completely new program. You can host all versions on the same computer at the
same time. If you have older card sets and seasons, be sure to
keep a copy of it.
Q: Are my player cards still good?
A: Many took advantage of the free update period, which, as
previously mentioned, has expired. Card sets featuring a
"Floor 2" row will work with version 11.0 and beyond. Since
later team files have expanded rosters with mult-card players,
some of these cards will not match up perfectly with the new team
files and there may be slight variations between the cards and the
on screen prompt in the software. TMsg cards have a different style
than TMsg cards but there is no changes to the card ratings and
stats.
Q: Are more game updates planned?
A; There will always be room for new features. TMsg Basketball
is a major upgrade from even version 12.5 and while nothing was left

cutting guides.. This also allows for
inexpensive delivery to international customers.
