it gives you the option of which account to pick. if you pick the console that stays primary, if you pick mlb the show website then it resets your account. you have to unlink and you should get your inventory back
How do you unlink? I'm having the same experience as plaxus said above with being stuck in a loop.

the only fix I have seen has been from trying to unlink in game at your profile, other than that I am not sure

Just a heads up so you all don't end up being crapped on like I just was. If you link both your XBOX and PSN ID's to The Show, it sets you back a default. I lost all my stubs, progression I made over the last four days and pre order bonuses. Everything is wiped out. Now I have to try and hunt down someone who can help me. At this point, I just want a refund to end this nightmare launch.
when you are viewing your inventory on shownation does it show what you should have or did that get wiped out as well?

Yep, it's all gone. Even the stubs. I submitted a ticket, but it would be great if someone from the support team at least acknowledged there is an issue via a post or tweet.
Appreciate you trying to help!

Having the same issues as everyone else

So I just linked and unlinked my account here. log out of your account here, when you log back in log into your show account. it will have red icons under either playstation or xbox which ever you have linked. click to unlink it. log out and log back in with either your xbox or playstation account and it should be unlinked. It worked for me, let me know if that helps.
-
@whtmke19 I see those unlink buttons. I click the xbox one, log back in and it still shows linked. I'm at the point where I think I need to go for a walk or at least put some time into my actual work day, lol.
-
@sobay310_MLBTS man that sucks, hopefully they can help you out. hope you have a great rest of your day.

Yeah im still having same issues as @sobay310

I’m in the same loop. Posted on other threads, Reddit, discord, tweeted at them and submitted a ticket. Lost everything, and on top of it, we are unable to get the day 5 Giambi unlock, etc until fixed. Not to mention missed daily rewards.

Wouldn't it be nice to, at the very least, have some sort of post or tweet from them saying they are aware of the issue and working on a fix? Just horrible.

100%, at least acknowledge the problem. Hopefully it’s fixed soon. Sorry to hear we’re commiserating.

If you unlink the account you get your progress. What they should be more clear about is that Whalen you link accounts, you more or less make a new account, and that's why the progress is wiped
I think it has to do with the order in which you do things, right? I could be wrong, but I think if you create an MLB The Show account and then link a console account, The Show account is dominant and shows no progress. If you create an MLB The Show account, then log out and log back into your console account and link The Show account from there, then the console account is dominant and your progress remains. I think that's what I did when setting up mine and it all worked out fine. I have not tried linking my Xbox account yet though. I think I'll wait until the servers aren't actively on fire.
This.
It works but the problem was that while their instructions are clear, they weren’t clear about what to locate the instructions.

I wish I saw this before I linked everything. Lost everything. Should I tried to unlink now? I submitted a ticket.
Note, the site will not let me unlink the accounts. When I click ‘unlink’, it prompts me to confirm acknowledging that it could give me a loss, logs me out, and the accounts are still linked. What a hot mess. Lost everything.
You’re logged into your show account. Log out and login to your console account.

You’re logged into your show account. Log out and login to your console account.
I’ve tried logging into both console accounts. When it asks me which progress I want to use, it prompts me with an error. I only see unlink in The Show account and when I try to unlink, it just logs me out. Trust me, I’ve tried on console too. Nothing has worked :-/. Thanks for the help though

That’s weird. Sorry

When I login to the show account and click unlink under the xbox or PS button, it just boots me back to the login screen again. If I then log in to the xbox or ps account they both still say connected but off to the left it says this account is not yet linked to an MLB the show account. How much more screwed up can this get, and not a peep from the studio. They had no problem taking my $100 though. Nice.

So that's what happened to all my stubs....that's swell

Same Problem here...
