Just to follow up on my previous post; the most frustrating thing is that customer service at SDS doesn't help out at all. You'll likely receive a generic response from a rep named Miguel, asking you to change some ports when this is NOT an internet issue! I've had the problem over a month now, I know some players have had it more than two months... but more and more people are starting to experience it. I suspect it's some form of glitch with certain MLB accounts that's locking us out from the servers entirely. Either way; your best bet is to go through PSN Support and hopefully enough of us can report the issue that they turn their attention towards it.

I am having the same issue with MLB The Show 19 on PS4; I am getting a Login Failed error rather than a Challenge Failed error, however I believe them to be the same problem. I uploaded a video to YouTube which details the issue, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PGHTPfW9sE

For the past week I have had another similar error which reads: LOGIN FAILED: A network error has occurred. However I'm playing MLB The Show 19; and using a PS4 / PS5, what console are you using? Have you also tried booting up the game using an alternative account rather than your main, and when you do does the error still persist?

I am using a PS5. I have logged in with my account on my old PS4 and even a friends PS5 who is using a different ISP and I get the same message. I had other friends log into my ps5 at my place and they can get on just fine. This tells me it an issue with my account.

Can I ask how long you been having the issue for? It's been nearly 3 weeks for me now, and I'm beginning to lose patience with SDS. I cannot believe they will just allow problems like this to continue for some players who've invested money and time into their games...

Yeah, I've gone through exactly the same process as you did. Only exception is some of my alt accounts can log in, whilst others got the error message. As you mentioned, it's seems probable the issue is somehow account related and is in a state of somehow being glitched. I guess we are both having the same network error bug, which is slightly reassuring because I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem up until now. Here's a video link as to what's happening to me, but I'm pretty confident we're both in the same boat despite playing different versions of the game:

Hi everyone, for a little under a week now when I'm attempting to connect to the MLB servers I keep getting an error message followed by ''the server could not be reached at this time.'' SDS support seem to think it's an issue with firewall or internet related, but this can't be true as I can play with some other alts on the exact same console. I've uploaded a video which details the issue, just wondering if anyone has had anything similar or knows of a solution thanks:
