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

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, giving you complete control over your swing. While this might seem initially challenging, mastering this control will be invaluable when facing tricky pitches.

PCI Settings

Finding the perfect PCI settings is subjective, but this configuration prioritizes simplicity and visualization. Representing the PCI as a bat helps players better understand ball contact. With practice, connecting with the sweet spot will become second nature.

Note that PCI Color and Opacity might require adjustments depending on the game's time of day. Yellow works well for day games, while Blue or Green might be more effective at night.

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

Camera Settings

While PCI mastery is crucial, the camera view significantly impacts your hitting performance. A distant camera can be distracting, hindering your focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 provides an optimal balance, placing you directly in the action.

These settings provide a strong starting point for dominating at the plate in MLB The Show 25.

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