Some NBA 2K players may get the UserData corruption error message which reads as follows: UserData file has been corrupted and is unable to be loaded.
What is NBA 2K UserData error?
UserData file corruption is an NBA 2K error that appears when the game fails to load after users deleted the reserved space dedicated to the game. It can also occur if a regular game update did not finish downloading.
The reserved space data includes all the NBA 2K game updates and patches downloaded on your device. If you delete it, you won’t be able to play online modes or access online connected files.
How to Fix UserData Errors in NBA 2K
Stay on the menu
- Start NBA 2K and select the Play Now button
- Stay on the menu and wait until the data has been downloaded.
It’s crucial that you do not enter the game. If you head into a game, you won’t be able to download the game files and updates that you need to replace the reserved space data previously deleted.
Keep in mind that this whole data download process can take a few minutes, or even a few hours to complete, so be patient.
⇒ Tip: If you’re on PS4, enable Rest Mode while the data is downloading.
When all the data has finished downloading, your game will be fully updated, and you’ll get a notification prompting you to go back to the main menu. Launch NBA 2K again.
Let the credits scroll
Another possible fix is to simply let the credits scroll. Some gamers confirmed that watching the credits worked for them. Others said that clicking the blank files that appeared when the game was loading synced up the right player and they were able to get into the game.
