Hey all. Apologies for the inconvenience with the linking system. Our engineers has been keeping an eye on this thread specifically, so thank you all for the reports and the details while we take a deeper look into things.
I know some have already tried this, but in case you're reading and haven't, try unlinking your account:
Option 1 via website:
Step 1 – Open a browser and go to theshow.com
Step 2 – Click on “My Account” in the top right of web browser
Step 3 – Click on The Show Icon to sign in to your MLB The Show Account
Step 4 – Click the “Unlink” button next to the platform you wish to unlink, then confirm your choice in the popup dialog
Step 5 – Your platform account will now be unlinked from your MLB The Show account. If you are currently logged into the account in-game, you will be kicked offline and returned to the “Press Any Button” screen.Option 2 via in-game:
Step 1 – In-game, access the Ballplayer menu in the top left corner of the front end menus
Step 2 – Press R1/RB to view the My Profile Tab
Step 3 – Select the Unlink Account tile
Step 4 – Confirm your choice
Step 5 – Your platform account will now be unlinked from your MLB The Show account. You will be kicked offline and returned to the “Press Any Button” screen.Thank you.
@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.

It appears mine might be fixed. Show Online account is connected and the others are unlinked.

So I unlinked my The Show account, but my Xbox and PSN accounts are still connected and there’s no option to link them.
Screen shot is below

I lied, now I am getting a "Platform Exclusivity" error when trying to link.

I saw the same thing

I think it's getting close. I would think the next step in the process is reload everybody's mlbts database so we have something to link to. Give it some time before you try to link.

I know work is probably absurd now. But can us folks who lost content (pre-order content, and progress, stubs, etc) get an ETA of when things will be fixed? Or at least, give us an assurance that we will be given our entitlements which we paid for. Honestly, at this point I feel like we should receive some sort of complimentary content due to the massive inconvenience. We paid for this service ultimately.
We don't take what you do for granted, but we'd like to feel valued as members of this community you all have built.

Bruh. Why y’all ignoring us? Just let us know you’re coming up with a solution for this group. You guys are answering others. Why not just tell us what’s going on?
It just looks shady. Just tell us. “Hey, XYZ is the issue, we’re hoping to have it resolved by . . .rest assure you all will be taken care of”.
Otherwise, you guys just look like you stole our money. Again, we’ve all paid for this product. And also, it’s not a Microsoft issue. As per the five conversations I have had with them. Have the decency to just give an update man.

Hey I've been keeping up with this forum for a few days now and it's really discouraging playing this game, or in better words a lack of playing this game due to the linking dilemma. I did log on this morning to see that my show account was finally unlinked from my PS5 account but when I do hop on my PS5 still nothing is there. The only was I can access my DD content and progress is through the PS4 version and personally I know there's probably not a huge difference but I didn't spend all this money to be playing on my PS4 again.

Same here, just because I'm out of options I installed the PS4 version last night and everything is there. Deleted the PS5 version, reinstalled and still nothing. I also don't have anything showing on my account through TheShow's website. Went through support chat and of course they don't know anything. How hard is it to just put a half assed statement out there and say something about it SDS? @Adam_SDS_PSN @Victor_SDS_PSN @Pat_SDS_PSN @Collin_SDS_PSN

My question is on my PS5, if I start the PS4 version all my items are there, there is also an "UNLINK" option under my profile, it says if I do this I will loose all my current DD and XP progress and will be returned to the boot screen.
I've heard people says they unlink their accounts and it seems to fix it, my question is, will I really lose my progress?
When I log in on my PS5 under the PS5 version of the game it still shows no progress.
On theshow.com today my accounts show linked to MLB but not to Xbox or PSN anymore.
I tried linking them on the theshow website and it gives me the same warning that this will erase any current progress and reset my account. What about my pre-order items?

@JeebWrangler_MLBTS if it’s of any consolation. Many of us are dealing with them same. Hang in there. Keep making noise until they address it.

Same. Get an error about "Platform Exclusivity" if I try to link. My PS4 data is messed up too. Tried reinstalling on my PS4 and my PS5.
Just waiting now... So frustrated
-
I can’t even log onto my MLB the show account they made me create.
Makes me think they banned me for making noise about this issue. Who knows. So much is broken right now.

Same here! I stared at that unlink button for an hour last night, really wanted to hit it, but I couldn't think of a way that it'd make sense in fixing things because the PS5 still shows as linked (to what, I don't know). This needs to be resolved or at least addressed today.

This! Mi consoles (PS5 and XBox) are finally "unlinked" in theshow website, I did not do anything from last night. Im affraid by that "erase content" warning.
Right now im playing on the PS4 version that has no problmems and shows all my stuff and progress. -

Wondering if I can get the two UNLINKED. I linked them to receive my loyalty rewards and forget it, once I tried to unlink them I lost everything (loyalty, stubs, preorder, daily double, everything).
