Hitting Interface

Zone

Consistent with previous MLB The Show titles, the Zone hitting interface reigns supreme in MLB The Show 25. This interface offers unparalleled control, allowing for precise PCI placement within the batter's box. While the responsibility of accurate PCI positioning might seem daunting, the payoff is worth it – especially when you nail that perfectly hung curveball.

PCI Settings

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

Finding the perfect PCI settings is a personal journey, but this configuration provides a solid starting point. Using the "Bat" option for PCI Center allows for easy visualization of contact point. With practice, hitting the sweet spot will become second nature.

Note that the Color and Opacity settings might require adjustments depending on the game's time of day. Yellow works well for day games, but consider switching to Blue or Green for improved visibility during night games.

Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings to see if they enhance your performance based on the batter and pitcher matchup. Our testing didn't reveal significant impact, but your mileage may vary.

Camera Settings

While mastering PCI placement is crucial, the hitting view is equally important. A camera angle that's too far back can lead to distractions and hinder focus. Strike Zone 2 offers the ideal balance, placing you right in the heart of the action.

These settings represent the optimal configuration for hitting in MLB The Show 25. Remember, personal preference plays a significant role, so feel free to experiment and fine-tune these settings to your liking.

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