    Maybe some of you already did encounter this problem with Origin.
    I want to start Need for Speed Most Wanted again from the beginning, so I just deleted my Save from My Documents, but because of the Cloud Sync it "comes back" everytime. Even if I "restore the save" from the local hard disk, still it's the same problem. Is there any possibility to overwrite this save from the cloud or to delete it? I've managed to start the game over again, by just disabling the cloud sync and deleting it from the local hard disk, but I would want to use this cloud sync for the new save.

    Help is appreciated. :)

    Btw something similar happened with Medal of Honor Warfighter, there because of upload problem with the sync, I restored my local save and then my progress was deleted. Unfortunately there I didn't want to start all over again, but that's it.

    how about disable cloud sync then proceed to create a new save file, play for a bit for progress then quit the game, enable cloud sync back up? It should prompt you to choose which one you want to keep since there is a time difference, right? Right?
