Yea but you still don't get progress.
I figured out this workaround too. But my progress still isn't updating which is very annoying. I've played many games and cannot progress either my slugger archetype or my cheese archetype. This is also a common problem according to the forums.
Another thing thats annoying. If you have socks, compression sleeves or batting gloves equipped, they reset every single time you click on the loadout screen. So ill have to redo my appearance every 2 seconds.
The game is officially out now, which means more and more people will be having these problems.
It makes RTTS unplayable. Therefore, it makes mlb the show unplayable.
This needs to be fixed asap
