After launching MLB The Show 25 and completing the intro, dive into the settings menu. The sheer number of customizable options can be daunting, but this guide provides a solid starting point.

Hitting Interface

As in previous iterations, the Zone hitting interface reigns supreme in MLB The Show 25. Its flexibility allows for precise PCI (Power Contact Indicator) placement within the batter's box. While initially challenging, mastering this control offers unparalleled precision, especially when reacting to those hanging curveballs.

PCI Settings

While individual preferences will always influence PCI settings, this configuration simplifies the process. Visualizing the PCI as a bat helps pinpoint optimal contact points on the ball. With practice, hitting that sweet spot will become second nature.

Note that the Color and Opacity settings may require adjustment depending 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 to see if they improve your performance based on the batter and pitcher. Our testing showed minimal impact, but your mileage may vary.

Camera Settings

Optimizing your hitting view is crucial, complementing your PCI settings. Distant camera angles can be distracting, hindering focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 offers an ideal balance, immersing you in the action without sacrificing crucial visual information.

These settings represent a strong starting point for mastering hitting in MLB The Show 25. Remember to experiment and refine these settings to find what best suits your individual playing style.

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