My game crashed after the race and the savegame file got corrupted, so all my progress is lost now (only points remained).
It seems, that the empty savegame file was then synchronised with Origin, because every time I start the game, I see the intro movie.
Is there ANY way to retrieve the proper savegame file, or the the Origin Cloud is storing only one savegame?

Exit Origin. Go into your "My Documents" folder then "Criterion Games" folder, then delete the folder called "Save" (when Origin is not running). Then start up origin and start NFS, choose to load Cloud Data. If this doesn't work then you might have to try contacting support to see if they have an earlier copy of your save game, if not then you will have to start single player again, BUT your Most Wanted races and Speed Points are kept safe and stored online, so you will only have to do the races again.

Thank you for the answer, unfortunately reloading save folder from cloud doesn't change anything.
Since the files on Origin Cloud have the same size as my save folder on HDD (aprox. 260kB) I don't expect there's anything more.
The rethorical question is: why use a single 260kB save file for a 5,37GB game and single 260kB backup on a 100MB cloud storage, this IS madness

I just had an issue in Mass Effect Andromeda, stating that my Save Files were corrupted and they had to be deleted. Nothing I could do to stop it...dumb Origin Cloud Save even saved the blank state after the game deleted all the files. Luckily I had Windows Backup set to backup my Documents Folder, so no big damage was done as I could restore everything from there. I would have been pissed if I had lost over 60h of gameplay :-(!!
