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

| Zone |
As in previous iterations, the Zone hitting interface reigns supreme in MLB The Show 25. Its flexibility allows for precise PCI (Power Indicator) placement within the batter's box. While initially daunting, mastering this control offers unparalleled precision, especially when reacting to those tempting hanging curves.
PCI Settings
| **Best PCI Settings in MLB The Show 25** |
| 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 settings above offer a user-friendly starting point, visualizing the PCI as a bat to better judge ball contact. Focusing on the sweet spot on the barrel will become second nature with practice.
Adjust the Color and Opacity settings depending on the game's time of day. Yellow works well for day games, but consider switching to Blue or Green for night games to optimize visibility.
Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings, which allow for customized anchoring based on the batter and pitcher. While not drastically impactful in our testing, they may provide an advantage for some players.

| Strike Zone 2 |
While mastering the PCI is crucial, the hitting view is equally important. Distant camera angles can be distracting, hindering focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 offers the ideal balance, placing you directly in the action without sacrificing situational awareness.
These settings provide a strong foundation for hitting success in MLB The Show 25. Remember to adjust and personalize based on your preferences.
MLB The Show 25 is now in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
