After launching MLB The Show 25 and completing the introductory sequences, head straight to the settings menu. The sheer number of customizable options can be daunting, but don't worry; we'll simplify the process.

Hitting Interface

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

PCI Settings

Finding the perfect PCI settings is a personal journey. However, the settings above provide a solid starting point, visualizing the PCI as a bat to better judge ball contact. Mastering the sweet spot on the barrel takes practice, but the results are well worth the effort.

Adjust the Color and Opacity settings based 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; they allow you to customize your PCI anchor based on the batter and pitcher. While we didn't find a significant impact, your mileage may vary.

Camera Settings

While PCI settings are crucial, your hitting view is equally important. A camera positioned too far back can be distracting, hindering your focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 provides the optimal balance, placing you right in the heart of the action.

These are the recommended hitting settings for MLB The Show 25. Good luck, and may your hits be many!

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