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 Contact Indicator) placement within the batter's box. While initially challenging, mastering this control grants unparalleled precision, especially when reacting to those hanging curveballs.

PCI Settings

PCI Center – Bat
PCI Inner – None
PCI Outer – None
PCI Color – Yellow
PCI Opacity – 80%
PCI Fadeout – None

While ideal PCI settings are subjective, this configuration simplifies the hitting experience. Representing the PCI as a bat aids in visualizing contact points. Consistent practice will make connecting with the sweet spot second nature.

Adjust the Color and Opacity settings based on game time. Yellow works well for day games, but consider Blue or Green for night games.

Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings to further personalize your approach, though their impact may be minimal.
