So some news on this issue. I saw someone playing MLB the Show 22 last night online on a a stream via my PS5.

So I launched he game just now on my second "guest" account I have (when buddies come over to play COD & stuff) and it connected online immediately! I also tried the game on my switch using my daughter's profile and it seemed prompted me to set up an nintendo network id - so that may or may not worked there too.

It seems the issue is related to your profile/accounts and not that your system can connect. I tried unlinking and then relinking my switch and PS account from my MLB the Show account and that didn't help.

@Victor_SDS_MLBTS what is going on here? Please give us an update. I have also been messaging a Miguel in the technical support chat/email thingy and let him know what I found today.

I cannot connect to the servers for the PS4 and Switch versions of MLB the Show 22. Tried on PS4, PS5, and Switch. Tried to open ports on both switch and PS5. Never saw anything about server shutdowns except that 19 and 20 shutdown in January... this shouldn't affect MLB the Show 22 though.

I do vaguely remember online not working for MLB the Show 19 a few years back prior to the official server shutdown, so maybe this is a recurring issue.

I wanted to transfer my RTTS saves between PS and switch but can't. I was gonna buy MLB the Show 24 for both the switch and PS5, but not sure now with this lol.

Is anyone else not being able to connect to MLB the Show 22 servers?

The major question I want to know in RTTS for MLB the Show 24....

Will the the coach actually select you to both pitch and be the DH in the same game? Or are you forced to be either a pitcher or a batter like in '22 and '23?
