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 overwhelming, but we're here to simplify the process and provide a solid foundation.

Hitting Interface

Consistent with previous MLB The Show 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 mastering PCI control might seem daunting, the payoff is well worth the effort, especially when you need to perfectly time that hanging curveball.

PCI Settings

Finding the perfect PCI settings is a personal journey. However, this configuration aims for simplicity, visualizing the PCI as a bat to better judge ball contact. Focusing on hitting the sweet spot takes practice, but with enough time, it'll become second nature.

Adjusting the Color and Opacity settings may be necessary depending on the game's time of day. Yellow works well for daytime games, but switching to Blue or Green might improve performance during night games.

Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings, which allow you to customize your PCI Anchor based on the batter and pitcher. While we didn't find a significant impact, it's worth exploring if it enhances your gameplay.

Camera Settings

Optimizing your hitting view is as crucial as mastering the PCI. A camera positioned too far back can lead to distractions, hindering focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 provides the ideal balance, placing you squarely in the heart of the action.

These are our 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.
