DO NOT BUY THE SWITCH VERSION IF YOU WANT CROSS PLATFORM
-
All the bonuses you get from the digital deluxe version are locked in the console and once you link the account to another console it’s all lost and makes you start from 0. Basically paying a premium for 4 days of early access. No where in there marketing is this mentioned only that stubs brought in one console won’t transfer to another but all in game content will. Which is a lie since none of the cards you get transfer.
-
This is so frustrating. Feel like I’ve wasted $40 buying the Switch version first.
-
Submitted a ticket for this and it looks like they added a FAQ question of this after the fact. The info definitely wasn't there when I looked before purchasing.
-
Yeah I've been going back and forth with support on this. The problem is that you can't link prior to playing. So it forces you to go through the DD tutorial to get the option to get the code and link and then it's too late.
-
Is support just giving you the runaround?
-
They are basically stating what the FAQ states now that it's been updated. Because we all know that was not there before. I have to think they will figure out a way to make it right. I'm fine with them just adding the packs back into my inventory and losing the guys I pulled if they can't manually add them just so I don't straight up miss out on what I paid $40 for.

Unlink your account. And then when you go back in to link it make sure you select that has the stubs and packs.
And they said before that any stubs bought on a particular console would only be available on that console.

This release has been a mess. Best part is SDS is nowhere to be found on the forums. Classic.

Yes i understand that but it’s not mentioned anywhere that pre order packs are also not transferable. Which is so dumb bc why on earth would i want cards that will only stay on 1 console? At the end of the day this was sds fault for not being upfront and clear.

This is the email i received from sds
Thank you for the email! Please understand you will be unable to transfer preorder bonuses from Switch to other consoles.
We regret any confusion you may have experienced. For clarification, the way our account linking works is you will have to chose what is called a survivor account. Unfortunately if you have made game progression on multiple platforms they do not combine. You have the option to select which progression you would like to continue and all other platforms will take on this same progression point. Unlinking your accounts reverts each account back to its original position before the linking occurred. This is why you will see your items return once you are unlinked. For all information related to MLB The Show 22 please check out theshow.com and the FAQs here: https://theshow.com/faq/. Don't see what you are looking for? Check back soon. Information will be posted on the site as soon as it is available and released.It’s amazing that they do not care they should have made this crystal clear during the Nintendo stream instead they kept there mouth shut so ppl would buy the digital deluxe version. This is such a shady bad look for this company.

I apologize I didn't actually realize what you were stating and after reading other people's post about this I understand what you're saying.
It seems like it may be an error that they may need to investigate.

All good bro this whole thing is confusing and there’s no one to blame but sds it all comes back to communication which they have been lacking for some years now.

So, I preloaded my game on my Switch last night and decided to get things ready for 4/5. My main console is my PS5 and I have the DD version.
I logged into my Nintendo account on theshow.com and after I gave permission to share my information across the platforms, there was a screen that came up to redirect me to somewhere. I have not idea where it wants to send me because I am getting a screen that says an error occurred. Unfortunately, it doesn’t say what the error is.
Now, when I log into my Nintendo account on theshow.com, I just get that error screen. I have to let it time out to auto log me out because I can’t do that in the error screen.
Have any of you had this problem?
Also, I guess I get a gold pack for preordering the standard edition. It sounds like the cards that I’ll get won’t show up on my PS version, is that what I’m reading from you guys? I know the 25k stubs won’t and I’m not expecting them to.

SDS is the new EA!
Undecided if madden or the show is a bigger waste of money? -
Switch link feature should be test more and release later. This test case coverage is pretty low....
I bought both digital deluxe version for switch and PS5 but I cannot even link my account....I created an the show account but I cannot login after created. The worst one is the site bind my ps progress on the show account I cannot login. The reset password is not work. SDS could you at least fix reset password ? https://account.theshow.com/mlbts_account/reset_password

Don't expect a response homie. They're bad bad.

Yes, always has been. That's why the created player still shows up like a 65 bronze.... just like last year, they changed so much and did so much work that issues from week one last year are...... still here.

So you will have to chose 1 main account and said account can be linked to the other consoles. But you will lose everything from the other one example if you chose to link the Nintendo account you won’t have access to any of those preorder bonuses you get from the PS. It’s so stupid bc if they would have taken 5 mins during any of there streams they could have cleared up any confusion but you know that would mean being a company with communication.

I got the switch version for the days I am not home. Had issues linking, I figure will get fixed later. Then came all the other switch issues, and I finally returned it. I had to ask for a manager, submit pics/video off all the issues. Was refunded, and big shout out to Nintendo for giving me a credit for my inconvenience on top of my refund. The game should not be launching with similar issues from last year. Even the My Ballplayer DD poses that had graphical issues are still wrong this year. Feels like they slapped lipstick on a pig in my opinion. SMH

I feel like we’ve been mislead by EA, errr I mean SDS.
If you have Xbox and game pass. Just use cloud gaming on the go rather than the switch. Better graphics than switch and The Show is free with game pass
