MLB The Show 23: How to Hit Home Runs
You always learn to walk before you learn to run. Before you start, check out the control scheme in the game’s settings menu. There are three modes you can use to change your swing and strike command. A clean setup is vital to your success, so we recommend trying different combinations to see what works best for you. Another important setting you can change is the camera’s viewing angle for PCI. PCI or Plate Cover Indicators are statistics that can be adjusted to change the camera angle from the batter’s mound. Now you can change the color, transparency and other PCI attributes. Check out the best shot and serve setups for a complete guide to setting up your game.
The real trick to landing perfect shots is in the choice of serve. Here are a few different types of pitches to look out for.
- Avoid any margins that are at the extreme ends of the window. Too far or too far and your contact will be too soft for Homer.
- Square fields in the middle of the plate are the best choice for home runs.
It’s important to note that you don’t always need to use Power Swing to hit home runs. A well-timed normal hit is all the ball needs to get out of the park.
