New PC & backups question

[Bassman58]

I'm getting a new PC and will I have to do anything to ensure MyLeague leagues and my rosters are still available after I re-install the game? I will copy my "mods" folder first. I only play offline MyLeague and exhibition games. I have the "keep games saves in Steam Cloud for NBA 2K23" enabled already. Just don't want to loose my rosters and leagues and I don't want to upload these and waste server space on rosters that others don't want.

NBA2K APPS ID on Steam are
NBA 2K15 · AppID: 282350 - SteamDB
NBA 2K16 · AppID: 370240 - SteamDB
NBA 2K17 · AppID: 385760 - SteamDB
NBA 2K18 · AppID: 577800 - SteamDB
NBA 2K19 · AppID: 841370 - SteamDB
NBA 2K20 · AppID: 1089350 - SteamDB
NBA 2K21 · AppID: 1225330 - SteamDB
NBA 2K22 · AppID: 1644960 - SteamDB
NBA 2K23 · AppID: 1919590 - SteamDB

So you need to keep few gigs :

<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\282350
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\370240
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\385760
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\577800
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\841370
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\1089350
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\1225330
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\1644960
<steam path>\userdata\<your unique steam ID>\1919590

So Stickey, just to be clear, you are suggesting that I copy the Steam local and remote folders. I guess that means I should not rely on Steam to have saved my files. Just to be sure I'll do that. I have never had much luck with adding other peoples rosters going through the remote folder. 2KShare is no problem. I miss the 2K14 days with ROS files.

Yes
Do you know exactly which files Steam saves ? no. Btw for old games with no more access to 2K servers, imo its the only way to have the last sync.bin file i think.

You can still try to backup the files i mentionned but not use them to check if my post is necessary. And if something missing, you overwrite with your backup.

Thanks for the info and help. Yes, I do know what files are in the Steam save. I will backup just to be sure. I did not have a 64 bit PC until 2K21 so I have three games to backup. I do know my way around a PC. I think this info will be useful for others too.

FYI, Just got the new PC. Installed NBA 2K23. All my rosters and leagues were still available on the Steam Cloud.
