I bought this game only a month ago, and did not realize you could not reload to a previous save, and that have to back it up, so i have 0 backups. Please does anyone know how to restore my game??

Can you try restoring the league from the autosave and see if that fixes things (you might lose some progress with the autosave)
1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings (or Preferences in OOTP 11-14).
2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".
3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".
4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.
5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them
6) Open the folder called "auto-save".
7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.
Restart the game and load the league. If you're lucky, the autosave will be from before the corruption happened. If not, there's probably nothing to be done.
