Once you launch *MLB The Show 25* and navigate through the introductory phase, dive straight into the settings menu. With an array of options to customize your hitting experience, it can be overwhelming. But don't worry, The Escapist is here to help you set up the foundation for success at the plate.

Hitting Interface

In *MLB The Show 25*, as with previous iterations, the Zone hitting interface remains the top choice. It offers maximum control, allowing you to maneuver the PCI (Plate Coverage Indicator) freely within the batter's box. While it might feel intimidating to rely solely on your PCI placement, mastering it can turn those hanging curveballs into home runs.

PCI Settings

Finding the perfect PCI settings can be subjective, but the above recommendations are designed to simplify the hitting process. By setting the PCI Center to Bat, you can better visualize where the ball will make contact, aiming for that sweet spot on the barrel. As you practice, this will become second nature.

The Color and Opacity settings might need adjustments based on the time of day you're playing. Yellow works well for day games, but consider switching to Blue or Green for night games to enhance visibility. Feel free to experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings, which can adjust based on the batter and pitcher, though The Escapist found minimal impact from these changes.

Camera Settings

While the PCI settings are crucial, choosing the right hitting view is equally important. A camera positioned too far back can distract you with the surrounding action, making it hard to focus on the pitcher. Strike Zone 2 offers the ideal perspective, immersing you in the action as the ball approaches the plate.

With these optimized hitting settings, you're all set to excel in *MLB The Show 25*. Remember, *MLB The Show 25* is now available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, so step up to the plate and swing for the fences!
