Switch Successfully Linked

With all the nightmare posts flying around about linking XBoxes and Switches to Playstations, I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to do it. Well, I'm here to tell you that it links just fine and there are no problems. I have my current progression on both my PS5 and my Switch. In case anyone needs to know, here is what I did:
- I started MLBTS22 on my Switch and set it up as its own game (including creating a My Ballplayer).
- I accepted the terms and conditions
- I clicked on the icon by my name and clicked through the tutorial.
- I clicked on Link Account under the My Profile Screen
The Switch then generated a code for me to enter into my The Show account.
- I logged into my The Show account and entered the link code.
- I got a screen asking me which account I wanted to continue my progression on.
- I chose my PS account.
- It then told me that there was a discrepancy in the My Ballplayer on my Switch and on the server and asked which one I wanted to keep. I chose the My Ballplayer from my PS5 (the one on the server).
- I then quit the game and went back into it and everything was perfect.
- I logged out of my The Show account and logged into my PS account and checked the marketplace and inventory on the web and everything was perfect.
- I logged into the game on my PS5 to verify and everything is perfect.
It all works just as they said it would. Also, the error I was getting when logging into my Nintendo account (before tonight) on theshow.com now redirects me to the screen showing my accounts and which ones are linked.

Where do you enter the code? When I log in it doesn't present.

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?

I was able to link mine as well. I have Xbox with gamepass and purchased the $60 version on switch. So both games went live for me at the same time. I started on the switch and linked with the code. Then went to my Xbox and it asked me which progression I wanted to use and I chose the switch created player etc. It looks like the only thing that I lost is the preorder bonus on the switch which was a gold choice pack and 5000 stubs which I don’t really care about. Went back and forth between switch and Xbox a couple of times and the progression seems to be working fine. I bought the switch to use on the road for work so all I care about is that the cross progression works.

Yes. Everything was there on both devices, even my progress on the US map.

Disregard…wrong answer. I really wish they would give us the option to delete a post.

That’s right. The bonuses don’t combine and you only get the bonuses (if any) from the account you choose to be your main one.

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?

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?
