MLB The Show 24 is out worldwide and it’s time for baseball fans to test their mettle in either single-player or online action. For those struggling with hitting, a good place to start fixing any problems at the plate is through the settings. Here’s a look at our best hitting settings recommendations in MLB The Show 24, including the best interface and camera options.
Should you use Zone or Directional?
Ideally, one should use Zone for the hitting interface in MLB The Show 24.
Long-time players who’ve played MLB The Show for years and used Directional may have a tougher time adjusting to the Zone hitting schema. However, new players do have an advantage when it comes to adjusting to its nuances.
Zone hitting involves moving the PCI, controlled by the left analog stick, towards the ball and then making contact with A/B/X (Xbox) or X/Circle/Square (PlayStation). It offers more precision and usually, better results.
Batting settings for MLB The Show 24
As far as the other best hitting settings for MLB The Show 24 that players should be aware of, here’s a look at our recommendations:
- Hitting View (can be changed in Camera settings): Strike Zone
- PCI Center: Bat or Diamonds
- PCI Inner: None
- PCI Outer: Basic
- PCI Color: Yellow
- PCI Opacity: 70%
The one setting that most will likely agree on is the hitting view. Strike Zone offers the closest look at the pitcher and the release point, something that’s very important for hitting.
Additionally, pick a PCI color that won’t blend in with the surroundings.
Now as far as the center, inner, and outer go, there are several different routes. We like the no inner and basic outer. However, others will opt for the reverse, leaving the inner contact PCI and ditching the outer vision PCI.
As for the center, the Bat is a nifty way to visualize where to square up the ball. But if the bat visual is too much, a simple shape like a diamond will suffice.
