Thank you for the acknowledgement @Victor_SDS_PSN . We are all in a frantic state waiting for the resolution to this, as we all took considerable time and effort to progress our gameplay over opening weekend and we've been at a standstill for two days. I appreciate the engineering team looking into this. I can provide screenshots or information if they need more, although I'm sure there is more than enough information in these threads to understand the situation.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. For most of us, option 1 just kicks us back to the login screen when we click unlink for either system, and for option 2 there is no unlink option in the game itself, just link. I did notice when signed into the mlbts account here that it says not connected, and the PS and Xbox buttons both have the unlink option under them. That doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't the mlbts account say connected? -

First, sorry for everyone that lost content when linking/unlinking their account. Second, this is absolutely comical that they released this game with so many issues. I will NEVER pre order a game ever gain.
Same, I just wish it didn't cost me $100 and many hours of frustration to learn my lesson.

Victor (@Victor_SDS_PSN), thanks for replying. Brother, this does not work when trying to unlink my PSN account. I linked my new Xbox account with my Sony (in order to receive my loyalty awards). When I unlinked my Xbox account from the Sony one, I LOST EVERYTHING. I purchased the Jackie Robinson Edition and all my entitlements (aily doubles, 42 pack, stubs, etc) is gone. Many of us have had our pre-order content that we paid for erased.
Can't you all manually add this content back for us? Your support team constantly directs me (along with many on this forum to Microsoft). After five conversations with Microsoft they have assured me this is an issue on your team's end. I have an email from Microsoft stating this. Please refer to ticket # 57737, 51501. I have replied to all these tickets with proof and images of my purchase and conversations with Microsoft.
We are trying to be patient, but the game seems unplayable when content is erasing.

For what it's worth, I figured I'd try on my PS4 since I bought the PS5 version, I guess we get PS4 also. The first time I load up PS4 it gives me this message:
BALL PLAYER CONFLICT, your local ball player data is different than what's on the server. Choose which save data you to keep.
Then is shows my ball player I created on PS5 he's a level 59 and has a different look and name, then the second option is the default Joe Random.
So here's more proof "some of the data" is on their server. We just need them to return our other items, data, rewards, etc.
-
HOLY [censored]! on PS4 is working! All my stubs and rewards are there!
-
so here is what I don't understand???
PS5 and Xbox not working, both are basically set to new account. I started playing MLB 21 on April 16 on PS5, linked my account and played until Monday on PS5 only. Then installed and played '21 Monday evening on Xbox X. Tried to link account, would never LINK.
Next day, Tuesday right again to link on Xbox, couldn't ever get LINK screen to go away like it did on PS5 Friday. Switched back to PS5 and that's when all my stubs, DD progress, items etc were all gone and I could not UNLINK anything.
Fired up PS4 this afternoon and installed '21, ALL my data, DD, items, Stubs EVERYTHING is there???? When I go into profile on my PS4 is still show's LINK as in, it's not linked.
I have NO CLUE how ANY of this works and doesn't. I have 1 PSN: gigemaggs99, so I have no clue how it's working on PS4 and not PS5.
I hope this helps SDS find something out so we can get PS5 and XboxX working.

Really? @gigemaggs99_MLBTS What made the difference? I get that same select data option (local or servers) however, my items do not reappear.
Did they fix your accounts?

I'm going to turn on my PS5 and look, I didn't get a response from SDS so I don't know if they did something or not.
I am looking on my PS4 now and sure enough everything is there, all my collections I completed, all my cards I put in collections, etc...if they could just make this work on PS5 and XBOX-X I'd be a happy camper.
I'm nervous to turn on PS4 and go on PS5, don't want to mess things up! I just want to play.

Did you download de the ps4 version on your PS5? or installed it on the PS4 console?
And you mean it worked on the PS4 and got fixed on the PS5? (or just working on old gen). -
Did not see the previous comments, u said on the PS4.
As kyllin said, take one for the team and try ps5 lol. -
Ok I downloaded the PS4 version of the game on the PS5 and everything is back! Guess its a PS5 - XBOX SX problem.
You can try that for now untill its fully fixed. -

It's definitely something w/ the PS5/XBOXX versions

@Victor_SDS_PSN Is this possible to follow these steps if you can't sign into the servers at all? Asking for a friend.

Deleted and reinstalled PS5 version, still no data.
I did receive an email response from SDS:
Hello,Thank you for your email.
The team is aware of this issue and is currently working to resolve this. Thank you for your continued patience.
