Zone

Consistent with previous MLB The Show titles, the Zone hitting interface reigns supreme in MLB The Show 25. Its flexibility allows for precise PCI (Player Contact Indicator) placement within the batter's box, granting maximum control. While initially daunting, mastering this control allows for perfectly timed swings, especially crucial when facing those tricky curveballs.

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 highly personal. However, the above configuration simplifies the process by visualizing the PCI as a bat, helping you anticipate ball placement. Focusing on the sweet spot takes practice, but with enough time, hitting becomes second nature.

Adjust the Color and Opacity settings based on game time. Yellow works well for day games, but switching to Blue or Green might improve night game performance.

Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings, which allow adjustments based on the batter and pitcher. While not drastically impactful in our testing, your mileage may vary.

Strike Zone 2

While PCI mastery is paramount, the hitting view is equally crucial. Distant camera angles can be distracting, hindering focus on the pitcher. Strike Zone 2 offers the ideal balance, immersing you in the action without sacrificing clarity.

These settings provide a strong foundation for success in MLB The Show 25.

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