Best Hitting Settings for MLB The Show 25

As spring rolls in, so does the excitement for baseball and the much-anticipated release of *MLB The Show 25* from San Diego Studio. With its promising features, the game promises an engaging experience, but mastering the art of hitting will require some fine-tuning. Here, we delve into the best hitting settings to help you make solid contact and dominate at the plate in *MLB The Show 25*.

Best Settings for Hitting in MLB The Show 25

Upon launching *MLB The Show 25* and navigating through the initial setup, your first step should be to dive into the settings menu. With a myriad of options available, you can tailor your hitting experience to your preferences. However, the sheer number of settings can be daunting, which is why we're here to guide you through the essentials for hitting success.

Hitting Interface

In keeping with tradition, the Zone hitting interface remains the top choice in *MLB The Show 25*. It offers unparalleled control, allowing you to maneuver the Plate Coverage Indicator (PCI) freely within the strike zone. Though it may seem daunting to hinge your success on PCI placement, mastering it can lead to rewarding moments, like capitalizing on that hanging curveball.

PCI Settings

While PCI settings are highly personal, the suggested configuration above aims to simplify your hitting approach. By visualizing the PCI as a bat, you can better anticipate where the ball will meet the bat. Aiming for the sweet spot becomes intuitive with practice, much like catching a routine pop fly.

Adjusting the Color and Opacity settings might be necessary depending on the game's lighting conditions. Yellow is effective for daytime games, but switching to Blue or Green could enhance visibility during night games.

Feel free to experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings, which let you customize the PCI's starting position based on the batter and pitcher. While our tests showed minimal impact, you might find a configuration that suits your playstyle.

Camera Settings

Mastering the PCI is crucial, but selecting the right hitting view is equally important. A camera placed too far back can lead to distractions, making it difficult to focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 offers the perfect balance, placing you right in the heart of the action as the ball approaches.

With these optimized hitting settings, you're well-equipped to excel in *MLB The Show 25*.

*MLB The Show 25* is now available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
