I truly believe is a PS5 and XboxX version of the game issue. PS4 version on my PS4 and PS5 seems to be working just fine. To be honest, I can't see a difference either in PS5 vs PS4 version (graphics wise) and I could give a darn about the create a stadium feature which is only on PS5 and XboxX editions. I'd rather have the game functioning properly on PS5 and XboxX than be able to create a stadium.
I also feel really OLD, each release there are some bumps in the road and I ALWAYS say I'm not going to buy it at release, then my brain stops working and I pre-order. PS5 was a blast, game was working like a champ for me from Thursday-Monday, then the wheels fell off.
It's now 1 week later and I'm back to "old-next gen, PS4-pro". 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
I don't see a difference in gameplay either. Surely they can fix this so we are properly synced across all accounts (at the very least, PS4 and PS5 should mirror each other). I always ride the ups and downs of a launch and don't complain, but to be blatantly ignored and not given the courtesy of any sort of reply is such [censored] considering how many of us have been here for so many years.

I completely agree, the PS4 and PS5 should be synced up automatically. It's the same system, same controller, same psn account. There should be a simple way to do that for now and worry about the xbox stuff later.

i logged into this site by pressing the xbox button instead of the show. It still shows the xbox and ps as connected and says it not yet linked to a show account. I believe this is where the problem is. They have to get these unconnected to free them back up. Of course if I try to connect them in the site, it brings up the choices, both of which just error out.
You have any idea why everything shows up on my PS4 but when I look up my username on The Show marketplace website it reflects everything being gone? I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. What is the PS4 linked to?

I only got it for Xbox this year lol. So I need an Xbox solution! Lol. I bought a series X specifically for the show. Well also because I want to play Halo this year too.

I don't know, because I never linked the PS4, it just started linked.

I hear ya. I just decided to check it out on my xbox series x just because it was part of gamepass and I wanted to see if it looked the same between the 2 new systems. That was dumb.

I was so close to just waiting the extra four days and playing on GamePass. Of course I caved the last minute on Friday, spent the $100 and now dealing with this [censored]. Wish I would have waited.
-
They just need to wipe out and disconnect everything that was done since the linking, then perhaps it would auto link to the proper account like the ps4 did.
-
Does anybody care if they lose the progress from the 2nd startup with none of the extra content? I sure don't care.

Yeah, that's the whole weekend off of work thing. Gets me every time. Speaking of which, I expect this to be fixed by the time I get back home, LOL.

I may have discovered a workaround that just let me get back in with my team and all the lost content. The issue here seems to be that it's moving our content off our console accounts and onto the MLBTS account without linking them, and then locking us out of trying to link them with these errors we're getting.
So what I did was try to see if I could make a new PSN account and link my MLBTS account, which has all of my content on it, with that new PSN account, and it worked. It won't link my MLBTS account with my old PSN account, but when I did it with the new one I made it restored everything I lost. I did then try to unlink it and relink it to my old PSN account, but that did not work with the same Platform Exclusivity error it gave me before. So this is a temporary thing until SDS gets this fixed, but hopefully this will work for some other folks as well and at least get us playing in the mean time. Hope this helps some people!

Just want to comment on the "you could lose your progress" thing. I believe when it says that, it means your MLBTSO account will overwrite what is on your local Playstation or Xbox. That is the "progress" you would lose. Not that it ever works anyway, it's just how I've been perceiving that warning. Please tell me if you guys are taking that differently. That is what makes sense to me.

This is how it has worked for me, yes.

WARNING: I tried this, created a new PSN account and was able to link my MLBTS account to it. I previously was able to see my Stubs/Inventory/Progress from the early access on the website. Now it shows ZERO stubs. Even when I unlink, it did not revert to the previous state. Proceed with caution.

Thanks for taking another bullet for us. I'm not sure how much more damage we can take on though.

I mean I bought the preorder, took the day off Friday to play. I had Trout, had over 100,000 stubs. Most of my starting lineup had parallels upgraded to level 2. Lots of content completed. Not to mention not being able to progress on the account since Monday, feel like I'm way behind now. I'm really, really hoping they can restore the link.

Wow that stinks. Hoping we hear back soon. At this point I feel like we’ve all exhausted our communication options. I even used some chat feature on here lol, to try to get in touch with SDS. no replies yet.

Same. PlayStation is my primary console, but I wanted to try it on my Xbox i use for Gamespass. Biggest mistake ever, but figured since they advertised cross-platform progression, it would be pretty sweet.

All my progress is currently on my MLBTS account. I have absolutely nothing on my PS4 as of right now as it's unlinked. If I overwrite what's on my PS4 (again, nothing) with my MLBTS account, my stuff could be possibly be restored to my PS4 if it worked? That's how I would perceive that. Any thoughts?
