Thanks for this man! I’ve been wondering how to do this! I’ve been getting errors on the website. Did you try going in to DD on your switch after linking to see if it all was the same?
When you log into your The Show account (black and white icon) at theshow.com there is a box to enter the link code.
Where does it ask you what account you want to make your primary one?

Am I doing something wrong when I try to link? I get to the screen where you are supposed to enter the code. I enter it, and on the website it says the account is linked, but the screen on the Xbox or Switch that says it will automatically go away, never goes away. And If I back out, it doesn't appear linked on the console.

I asked the same question over here and was able to actually put up pictures. Basically once I enter the link code, which account should I be choosing?https://forums.operationsports.com/forums/mlb-show/997243-am-i-doing-account-linking-wrong.html

I was able to link my profile, but at the same time lost my stubs. Anyway to have them returned?

After you enter your link code in your The Show account.

The account you have the most stubs and cards on. Your cross progression will go on from there, but when linking, the accounts do not combine resources. You will have your full inventory of your main account on both devices once they are linked.

Those pictures show your Xbox linked to your The Show account but it doesn’t show your Switch linked.

Unlink and then when you relink, choose the account that has your stubs as your main account. You haven’t lost them, they are not available because you didn’t choose that account as your main one.

Thank you.
I’m just trying to help lessen some of the frustration with linking accounts. It would help if SDS spelled this out in their faq and maybe even included some pics of the process. But they didn’t, so it’s up to us to help each other out.

I shouldn’t be trying to answer these question on my iPad…grrrr!

I got it successfully linked. I didn’t realize I’d lose my 25k stubs from my Xbox digital deluxe version . I knew I probably wouldn’t get the preorder stubs from the switch version. Do you think it would be smart just to unlink and buy like 25k worth of players on my Xbox then link again?

Nevermind, I see I still have my 25k extra stubs when I sign in to my Xbox DD just 25k less when I’m on the switch but can still grind

That’s up to you, but I think it would be more economical to make your account that has all your stuff from your DD version as your main account. That way your able to use it. Remember, when you link, your stuff doesn’t combine, you use what’s in your main account and progress forward from there. And, you didn’t lose the stubs. They are still there, you just have to unlink to see them.

Kewl! The Switch is like your child…you don’t ever give them all of your money. They can live in your house, eat your food, dress in the clothes you buy them, sleep in the bed you give them, but they don’t have your ATM card.
Keep in mind also, any stubs you buy from Nintendo won’t be available on your XBox and vice-versa if you buy stubs from Microsoft. Stubs are proprietary to their originating platform. -

You just need to launder your stubs. Make 25k in purchases in Xbox. Then sell those cards. The stubs are now considered "earned" and can be used on any linked platform. No need to unlink to do this either.

Nice! Or just keep the cards and use them. Once they are part of your inventory, they are shared.

Thanks for the help today! I’m good if I have 25k less when I’m on the switch as long as I can still access them on my Xbox account. Having to link and unlink them every time would have been annoying, so I’m glad I can still access the 25k extra on my console without unlinking.

I feel like a lot of the frustration and confusion could have been solved with just a little honestly from SDS, along with better wording in their FAQ. I know for a fact that Swith pre-order bonuses (the cards from the packs) can be used on Xbox. I double checked this morning and my full team including those cards were there. I think what they meant to say is that you can't stack preorder bonuses with Switch like you apparently can on Xbox and Playstation. Not a problem for me since I'm going with the free Game Pass version.
Once things settle down and they aren't so slammed, I'll have to put in another ticket or something regarding the account linking process. Right now they are just sending out canned responses and they arent even reading/comprehending messages.
I got my PS5 progress for 21 back, but I can't link my Playstation without losing progress in 21 again since Switch is my primary for 22. I've left it unlinked for now which means i cant play 21 on my Xbox with my progress anymore. They really need to fix that for future games. At some point, people are going to go from purchasing the digital deluxe on one console one year to a different console the next year. Maybe they care about losing content in an old game, maybe they don't. At any rate, SDS should be able to allow you to choose a primary platform for each year of the game. They probably just didn't think of it.
