| 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, giving you complete control over your swing. While mastering this precision might seem intimidating, the payoff is well worth it—especially when you nail that perfectly-placed curveball.
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 a personal journey, but this configuration provides a solid starting point. Visualizing the PCI as a bat helps pinpoint the ideal contact point on the ball. With practice, hitting that sweet spot will become second nature.
Note that PCI Color and Opacity might require adjustment based on game time. Yellow works well for day games, but consider switching to Blue or Green for better visibility during night games.
Experiment with the new PCI Anchor settings to see if they improve your performance, though our testing didn't reveal significant changes.
Camera Settings

While mastering the PCI is crucial, your camera view is equally important. A distant camera can be distracting, hindering your focus on the incoming pitch. Strike Zone 2 offers the optimal balance, placing you right in the heart of the action.
And there you have it—the key to unlocking your hitting potential in MLB The Show 25.
MLB The Show 25 is currently available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
