Lost Data Forever?

I can do simple updates to my own rosters and play knowing that there won't be bugs from the game release to worry about. Thanks

You cleared all your save data and it still said corrupt? Then something else is seriously wrong.

Or it only showed you that once you placed your saves back?

Only after I put my saves back. I tried just putting my roster saves back. Corrupt. Then I put all manifest files. Also corrupt.

I don't believe you can restore those rosters. I ran into the same issue when I tried to install 2K19 on my PS5. I had given away my PS4 to my nephew a few months earlier but saved all my 2K19 data files to the cloud. When my PS5 arrived, I installed 2K19 on it and then uploaded my saved data files for my CAPs and rosters. However, I ran into the same "corrupt file" error that you've been getting. From my research, there seems to be some issue where those files have to initially sync with or be validated by the server before you can first access them and you obviously can't do that once the servers are shut down. So you're okay to continue using the rosters once the servers shut down and any changes after that would be saved locally, but if you try to re-install the game, I don't think you can then access those old roster files.
