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 11.5 ? How can I obtain version 11.5
A: .Version 11.5 CDs are only $5.00 with any card set order and $10.00 with any PDF purchase. Any upgrades from version 11 (11.X) are free on the Yahoo! group's file page. The upgrades are not the full version and should only be copied over an existing install of version 11. Installing over earlier versions will disable your software. Previous offers for free upgrades have expired.

Q: Are my old team files compatible with TMG 11?
A: No. TMG 11.5 has a new team file structure. Old files only work with versions before 11.0 , so older TMG software versions must remain on your computer if you want to play with the older cards.

Q: Is TMG 11.5 that much better than earlier versions?
A: Easily. The update is free. After playing TMG 11,5 you will not want to go back to your previous version. It should be noted here that TMG 11.5 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. 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.

Q: Are more game updates planned?
A; Major upgrades? No.. TMG Pro Basketball has evolved into a solid product. Any changes will be enhancements to version 11. Any minor upgrades to version 11 will be offered for free download on the Yahoo! Group files section.
