Best hitting settings in MLB The Show 24

To start, you must choose between three hitting interfaces. The most popular one is Zone, which brings in the PCI:

• Zone: This uses the Plate Coverage Indicator to direct your swing and a button to time it and swing the bat at the ball
• Directional: This just uses the left analog stick. If you flick it at the right time, you will swing the bat. If you aim it a direction while flicking, it impacts the swing as well.
• Timing: Strictly button-based, timing allows you to click the button for the swing at the right time and let the game aim for you

The best is Zone, as it provides complete and total control. It is how MLB The Show 24 players can get perfect hits. If the location and timing are perfect, you will have a perfectly struck ball. That doesn't guarantee a hit, but it does make it hard to get out.

The next aspect of hitting is the difficulty. There are a lot of levels to how hard it is to hit. The higher the difficulty, the less success you have and the more challenging each pitcher will be.

If you're struggling, put it on a lower difficulty level. The lower it goes, the less likely the pitcher is to throw tough pitches. On the lowest difficulty, they hardly throw anything but strikes, making it easier to master.
