I’m in the same boat. Can’t equip my custom uniform. When I select the box it takes me to the edit screen.

Countless posts, threads, tweets, support tickets from people like myself who are such big fans of The Show. It's not so much that the servers make the key features of the game unplayable, we've been through that before and ride out the wave with you.

There is a huge problem, however, with you promising pre-order bonuses and early access only to zero out our accounts and make what we've paid for inaccessible. We paid the $80, $100 or whatever it is play this game. Not only is the game unplayable, but we don't have what we paid for.

Have you not seen the hundreds of posts and thousands of views on these two threads alone (there are many more)?:

You can't reply and say, "We're sorry, we're working on it" before you see the same post a hundred times? Your social media channels just keep pumping the game as if nothing is wrong, and your customer service via support tickets is awful. Let's face it, you don't know what's wrong, how you're going to fix it or what you should do. You figure by not saying anything, people like myself will just go away.

Guess what, you're right! You have my $100 and hours of time, but you've killed my enthusiasm for your game and I know I'm just a spec of sand in the total sales, but I won't be coming back.

I hope you find a way to fix people's accounts and make things right. I don't even care about mine anymore, I'm done. Good customer service goes a long way, and this was about as bad as you can get.

@jmcdonald1817 said in Where can I get a refund:

I can’t remember if it was 19 I think it was but your talking refund after a week?? In 19 that game was F’ed for months.. they don’t do refunds..

Well, maybe they should start.

My progress is carrying over from PSN to XBOX as well but only after everything has been wiped out. I have 3 stubs and a fricken 63 rated pitcher in my collection.

FIX THIS ALREADY SDS! Or tell us it can't be fixed and refund our money!!

SDS has shown a complete lack of courtesy for it's customers. They've gone radio silent and won't provide timely updates. The support tickets are useless because they all send back the same templated response that doesn't help.

SDS, GIVE US BACK WHAT WE PAID FOR OR REFUND US!!!!!!!

Welcome to the family, it sucks...

Its sad how many entitled whiny kids there are commenting on this game. This is a great game. Are the servers being [censored]? Yes....Were there thousands upon thousands of new players playing the game cause its on a new system? Yes. There are very few titles that dont have crappy online servers the first month of its release. Just look at COD servers as an example. All I see is complaining on this board.

Stop complaining.

My theshow account now shows no PSN or Xbox account linked so I thought it was fixed. But now when I go to link my PSN I get the platform exclusivity error :(.

I get the same error. Playing on the PS4 version for now.

Did you do anything special to get it working on ps4? Neither version is showing any progress for me

I didn't. I think for some reason only my PS4 is tied into my The Show online account and that's why everything is showing up. You are prompted with "local file or server file" in game when you start the PS4 so I would just choose local and if that doesn't work, close the game, delete the game data from system settings and try again but select sever file next time.

Honestly, there's no rhyme or reason to any of this. It's a complete clusterphuk.

Hey again folks-

Just wanted to update and let you know we've put in a few fixes already and we have a fix coming soon for those who are unable to UNlink.

Thank you all for your reports, details, and patience while we see this through.

Does "coming soon" mean today? It's been a week. Does it mean next week? Can you be a little more specific so we're not spending our time checking our accounts? Also, is there any consideration to providing the option for a refund for those of us who were completely screwed by paying $100 for pre-order "incentives" that obviously haven't materialized.

I've been on SDS's side through all the previous [censored] launches, told people to relax, but the lack of communication and blatant ignoring of our posts without so much of a "sorry guys" is really fueling the anger you're seeing around here. We're talking $100 for a product that doesn't work and didn't deliver.

@spartan42084_psn said in Where can I get a refund:

They need to do what watch dogs did and give us all option to get a refund. This is complete garbage. Can i get my 100 for the game and 100 for the stubs i bought first day of the early access? I hope the MLB pulls your rights and gives it to EA. I don't care anyone says, madden never has this kind of problems. Every year it's the same [censored]. Give people their money back on this hot pile of garbage you call a game

A refund would be a nice gesture, cool some of the resentment we all have towards SDS right now and wouldn't even make a dent to their bottom line. I think a lot of us would end up repurchasing once we saw the game was actually playable as advertised.

If we had this experience with just about any other product you can think of, there would be a path for a refund. Make it happen SDS!

Another day and still broken.

Many of you say you can view your inventory on theshownation.com just not in game (PS, XBOX).

Is this the case for all of you? My lost pre-order content doesn't appear on the system (Xbox) or on theshownation. However when I look at my "Order History" on the Microsoft Store, I see my Jackie Robinson Bundle voucher. But in game all this disappeared as of last Saturday.

I see my stuff on the website (logged in with my Show account) - but I pre-ordered on the PS5, and was playing there before Tuesday. On Tuesday, when I added the game on XBox via GamePass and tried to link my Xbox account, that's when all my troubles started.

The FAQ Says:
IF YOU CHOOSE MLBWEB, YOUR PROGRESS WILL START AT ZERO, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A PLATFORM WITH PROGRESS.

• This is because your MLBWEB account is new and has no progress. If you’d like to keep progress that is already made on a specific platform (PS or Xbox), please choose said platform.

Except -- my MLBWEB account isn't new, and HAS progress. Which makes me think if I choose that, it could possibly restore my data. But I don't want to take that chance.

Do it! Do it! Do it!!!! Yeah, I've been scared to hit that button too. I feel like the end is near (in a good way), so hopefully it'll be fixed.

Mine doesn't show up on theshownation if I'm logged in with my PSN or XBOX account. It only shows when I'm logged in with my The Show account...if that makes sense.

@squawk-and-awe_xbl said in Early access scam:

Pretty disappointed. Have been wanting to play The Show for years, finally got the opportunity, so I went all in and bought the special edition. Major bugs, server issues, and RTTS just feels like it was an after thought. After playing for a few days I requested a refund from M$ and it got approved. Hopefully the game actually gets finished one day. Wish you all the best.

You're lucky, PSN won't give us a refund and I've tried three different times. SDS should offer a refund at this point. It's the right thing to do, but of course they won't.

@jlafontnyc_xbl said in Linked account on The Show website; lost game progress:

Still crazy to me that we’ve not heard a thing.

@Victor_SDS_PSN @Collin_SDS_PSN

Come on, just a status update.

I've come to the conclusion they are all just reverse trolling us. Reading these threads laughing and seeing how miserable we can get. They know they got our money, what's the incentive to help. Sucks!

Okay, so now I'm piecing this together. I see that when I'm just logged into my "The Show" account online, it shows all my stuff online - it's all there. Then, when I log in with my PSN or XBOX account it shows everything wiped out. So...I just need those to unlink and tie it all in with my The Show account.

I feel like I came to this solution before though, lol!

@pal8448_mlbts said in Linked account on The Show website; lost game progress:

I may have discovered a workaround that just let me get back in with my team and all the lost content. The issue here seems to be that it's moving our content off our console accounts and onto the MLBTS account without linking them, and then locking us out of trying to link them with these errors we're getting.

So what I did was try to see if I could make a new PSN account and link my MLBTS account, which has all of my content on it, with that new PSN account, and it worked. It won't link my MLBTS account with my old PSN account, but when I did it with the new one I made it restored everything I lost. I did then try to unlink it and relink it to my old PSN account, but that did not work with the same Platform Exclusivity error it gave me before. So this is a temporary thing until SDS gets this fixed, but hopefully this will work for some other folks as well and at least get us playing in the mean time. Hope this helps some people!

WARNING: I tried this, created a new PSN account and was able to link my MLBTS account to it. I previously was able to see my Stubs/Inventory/Progress from the early access on the website. Now it shows ZERO stubs. Even when I unlink, it did not revert to the previous state. Proceed with caution.

Thanks for taking another bullet for us. I'm not sure how much more damage we can take on though.

I completely agree, the PS4 and PS5 should be synced up automatically. It's the same system, same controller, same psn account. There should be a simple way to do that for now and worry about the xbox stuff later.

I only got it for Xbox this year lol. So I need an Xbox solution! Lol. I bought a series X specifically for the show. Well also because I want to play Halo this year too.

I hear ya. I just decided to check it out on my xbox series x just because it was part of gamepass and I wanted to see if it looked the same between the 2 new systems. That was dumb.

I was so close to just waiting the extra four days and playing on GamePass. Of course I caved the last minute on Friday, spent the $100 and now dealing with this [censored]. Wish I would have waited.
