Hitting Interface

Zone

Consistent with previous MLB The Show titles, the Zone hitting interface reigns supreme. Its flexibility allows for precise PCI (player contact indicator) placement within the batter's box. While mastering this control might seem intimidating at first, the payoff is significant, particularly when facing tricky pitches.

PCI Settings

PCI Center – Bat
PCI Inner – None
PCI Outer – None
PCI Color – Yellow
PCI Opacity – 80%
PCI Fadeout – None

While individual preferences always play a role, these settings provide a solid starting point. Representing the PCI as a bat aids visualization of ball contact. Focusing on hitting the sweet spot will become second nature with practice.

Note that PCI Color and Opacity might require adjustments based on game time. Yellow works well for day games, but consider switching to Blue or Green for night games.

Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings; however, our testing showed minimal impact.

Camera Settings

Camera positioning is crucial. Distracting elements can hinder focus. Strike Zone 2 offers the optimal balance, placing you squarely in the action without overwhelming visual clutter.

These settings form the foundation for success in MLB The Show 25. Now get out there and hit some home runs!

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