Zone

Consistent with previous MLB The Show 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 approach demands precision, the payoff is well worth it—especially when you perfectly time that hanging curveball.

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 a personal journey. However, the settings above provide a solid starting point, visualizing the PCI as a bat to aid in contact prediction. Mastering the sweet spot on the barrel will come with practice.

Adjusting the Color and Opacity settings may be necessary depending on the game's time of day. Yellow works well for daytime games, but consider switching to Blue or Green for improved visibility during night games.

Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings to see if they improve your performance based on the batter and pitcher matchup. While we didn't find a significant impact, your mileage may vary.

While PCI mastery is crucial, choosing the right camera angle is equally important. A camera positioned too far back can be distracting, hindering your focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 offers the ideal balance, immersing you in the action without sacrificing crucial visual information.
