@worldrevolver said in My theory on difficulties in the game:

I don't ever throw a curveball to the AI on rookie. They will not swing at one that just misses the bottom of the zone but if you dare to bring it up just 1/2 inch they smash it out. But just one of the AI players. The other 3 you will strike out.
Rookie is so bizarre. I think it's actually harder than veteran and maybe even pro, no pro in DD though.

The AI pitchers on Rookie can pitch a ball you track for 3 minutes through the zone and swing and the game will say early and the pitch will be a foot off the plate when it finishes. I find it way easier to hit on All Star. Yeah when you square one up on Rookie it seems to go farther/faster but they throw so much junk at you it isn't fun.

DD and Moments have some wack-ness applied to the AI. If you play MTO on Beginner you either ground out/fly out/homer because the AI throws at the middle of the zone. Rookie in moments and DD will throw anywhere but the zone for 90% of the pitches they throw to you.

This makes me feel less crazy. I feel like I’ve done better on Vet/All-Star vs. Rookie.

I feel like even though I’m perfect/perfect or good contact, I barely hit/hr when squaring up the ball. Also the AI on Rookie never attacks the zone. It’s all in the dirt or way off the plate. Maybe All-Star and Vet are better.

Just my own observation at least.

So frustrating. Was just about to finish the Orioles on All-Star to finally unlock Eric Davis.... server must’ve went down AS it went to book results. Wish I could get them to reinstate the win. Utter [censored].

Not sure what to do right now. I get the error every time I try to link my old account on the show my account page. But it gives the reset all progress button that I haven’t pressed yet. Any ideas?

I’m working with Sony to get a refund. I’ve had enough. Just going to get my money back and be done with it.

I’m about to call too and see if they can refund me my $200 dollars and I’ll just never link the Xbox account to the website again

That’s what I’m thinking about doing. Just starting over with the game pass version on Xbox. Not sure tho, honestly. I have a really really bad taste in my mouth after all of this.

I foolishly bought the physical edition for the steel case. Dumb on my part, because I’m kinda stuck with it. Couldn’t return it.

LOL so I finally just got ahold of someone with Sony on the phone about a refund for the game and in-game purchases and he told me that SDS are the ones that control the refund process for this title so I have to wait for a response back from their terrible customer support so only God knows how long that will be. Their system at Sony wouldn’t allow him to refund any part of the game. At this point it literally feels like they stole my money.

Hopefully they fix yours. I’m really pulling for it to happen. You may get it fixed before a refund, ha

I am extremely upset about this [censored] and I let everyone know it on their tweet about the servers last night. 9 tickets sent in and not a single one answered, Sony can’t give me a refund and now it is day 5 since I’ve been able to play.

Yeah, I kinda wonder if they’re not watching this thread. I posted on the maintenance thread in General and tagged Victor SDS and about an hour later my account was magically linked. All accounts were in the MLBTS account, I unlinked both of them, and then started up the game on PS. Immediately loaded content. Worth trying there. Good luck dude, I hope one of the paths works out. I was nearing your level of frustration yesterday.

Ready, ready, I got the button to unlink my account in the game and my progress returned, how do I make sure this does not happen to me again?

Don’t re-link until it’s confirmed to work. That’s what I’m doing. Also, congrats on getting restored!

My content has been restored on PlayStation. Too nervous to link my Xbox still. But at least I can continue to play. Thanks!

I wonder if I should just unlink my Xbox account and see if that restores my PS content. I may just watch the threads for a bit longer before trying. I was so hopeful when seeing the latest update and seeing everything linked. Then another punch to the gut when loading the game

I cannot tell you in words how freaking mad I was before leaving the house. I have since calmed down a bit but I’m still upset. As a software guy myself I cannot understand how a developer with years of experience could mess something up this bad regardless of adding another platform to the game or not.

Well I unlinked both from my MLBTS account. My MLBTS account now shows ALL of my progress. Unfortunately I can’t try to reconnect my PlayStation account since PSN is down. At least it’s slow but steady progress. Hopefully you have a bit of luck.

@Victor_SDS_PSN my account finally has all 3 platforms on a single account! Thank you for looking into this and resolving it! I was able to successfully unlink my Xbox account and relink my PS account. Will need to validate my consoles show my previous progress.

Edit: progress is back! Thank you thank you thank you!

So my MLBTS account shows everything linked. But my in-game process is still wiped. Checked PS4/PS5 and XSX. Do I need to unlink my Xbox to get all my original PS progress and content back?

I Unlinked my Xbox and when I checked my PS5 all my progress was restored. If that doesn’t work, Unlink your PS5 account and Relink it and choose your proper progress path and it should work

Interesting. So I unlinked my Xbox account from the MLBTS and it also removed my PS5 link. When I look at my MLB the show on the site, history it’s back. However now I can’t get back into my PSN account and when I’m in game on the PS5 it says my profile is disabled and offline. So, I’m at least getting closer haha. I’m assuming you re-linked with the code provided in-game?

Edit: PSN crashed. That’s why I am disabled and offline.

I think its the lack of response on tickets, the general infrequent updates or their plan of action that have frustrated me the most. Like I’ve been playing Outriders, that was a rough launch, but at least they were very vocal and active on Twitter/Reddit so that we at least knew we were being addressed. I’m sure they’re looking into this stuff, but it’s tough when you feel invisible. Especially when people have reached out to the media, streamers, etc. and we’re being ignored or told ‘not my problem’. The gameplay was actually great this year, I was LOVING playing. So excited that I wanted to link my PS5 and XSX progression. What a mistake that was, ha.

Yeah I had screen shots of my MLBTS content and it’s gone now. All of it just like @mrsirgoofalot_MLBTS. What I thought was excitement and joy to be able to play again turned into another gut punch. Do I have to send another ticket? Because whatever magic was worked behind the scenes just deleted everything.

@Victor_SDS_PSN Unfortunately both my XBL and PSN accounts remain linked to one another. All my pre-order content from the Jackie Robinson Edition is still missing.

gamertag XBL: JLafontNYC

I’m in the same unfortunate boat. Hopefully @Victor_SDS_PSN and the team can provide some update.

I believe once the linking maintenance is done, we'll see the Unlink button back on the account with the Xbox and PS updated. Once we are able to unlink, we can relink to the account that has our proper progress and it should resolve this, but in game there is still no option to Unlink anywhere...

I think it’s done? I see my MLBTS account and it has prompts to link. I just can’t unlink my PSN/XBL stuff still

I see the same thing, but the Unlink button doesn't even appear for me in game or on the site. I'm thinking further maintenance is needed or that specific part of the issue isn't resolved. I sent another ticket.

Are you logged in on your Show account?

I have the same issue. When I log into my MLBTS account, nothing is linked. When I log into my XBL or PSN credentials, they’re still linked together with no option to unlink. Screen shot linked below.

link text

And they didn’t have the red text early last week. They added that after a lot of us got blipped.

My PS5, Xbox series X, and here are all linked and I have all my stuff and progress back.

How lol. My main version is my ps5 JR edition but when I linked my Xbox game pass version I had no clue that became the default profile. My dumb self purchased $200 in Stubbs before checking to make sure my existing content was there. And here lies my issue. I made the purchase on my ps5 thinking I was adding to my existing cards from the preorder and JR edition game and unknowingly I was using the Xbox profile which had NOTHING. Now I have most of my progress and cards attached to my Xbox profile but can only use my psn profile if I unlink the accounts. I want all my purchased content to be linked to my psn. @Victor_SDS_PSN

I'm not sure, but I would unlink everything, then start the PS5 and choose the server profile assuming you get prompted. Then start the Xbox, login here to you mlbts profile and input the link code from the xbox in here.

Just did that. This time I said hmm if it auto defaults to whichever profile linked last let my link Xbox first then ps5 lol. Nope it still auto defaulted to Xbox as main profile and disables psn content. So my content is still very much accessible if I unlink everything but then it creates the issue of my $200 investment that I didn’t know I made on the Xbox profile through my ps5. While all my ps5 progress which is my preorder content from the $100 version of the game is still there from opening night. I can’t even merge the two together it seems. Linking only combines the Stubbs but not the cards. there has to be a way to combine everything and have true universal progress. @Victor_SDS_PSN

They did state pre-launch that cross platform progression excluded stubs. They never said anything about pre-order rewards/cards.

Did you proof read your comment and my post bro? Link both profiles only combines stubs. Any cards gained on both is disabled. It auto defaults Xbox profile as primary regardless if you have both. So my Preorder and Jackie Robinson content still there disabled and only usable if I unlink everything and keep it separate. Or I can just say eff my psn profile content and link both back up to keep the $200 worth of cards I purchased through my ps5 game but on the Xbox defaulted profile unknowingly

Don’t be an [censored]. We’re all without our progress. And yes I did. The fact that your purchased stubs are combined makes no sense and the fact that cards aren’t. I think it points to how poorly their system is implemented. Take a freakin’ chill pill. At least you have your in-game progress. Many of us are back to square zero. Your issue is different. Open up a new thread.

Nah you take a chill pill. Cuss yourself out kid. Clearly you didn’t read my comment. I said it combined my stubs. Clearly I spent the stubs I purchased to buy packs for cards and have since made progress with the Xbox profile that became my default after I linked it to the mlbts account thinking it was just linking it and not making it the main profile for all of my progress. I made the stubs purchase on my ps5 because I thought that was still linked to all of my pre order content for the Jackie Robinson edition of the game I own on ps5. Unknowingly it wasn’t. So I have over 580 cards attached to my Xbox profile which is the game pass version and 22,074 stubs earned from playing all week on my ps5 but linked to that profile. Meanwhile I have over 275 cards just from the Jackie Robinson version of the game. That I can only use if I unlink everything. I have 28k stubs there which combines to my Xbox 22k for over 50k combined stubs when linked together. I just want all my cards together finally. Is that too much to ask? @Victor_SDS_PSN

Listen, I get the frustration. Sorry I popped off at you. I haven’t had progress on XSX or PS5 since early last week when the GamesPass version went live. SDS needs to get their [censored] together and fix all of our accounts.

My PSN and XBL accounts are no longer linked when I log into my show account

Sorry I misspoke. I have nothing linked to MLBTS, but when logging on my PSN/XBL credentials, they’re both still linked with no option to unlink.

I really hope this fixes the unlink issues and progress/DD wipes. Haven’t been able to play the game since last week, and eager to start again.
