Launch day can be a rollercoaster for any game, especially as eager players dive into every nook and cranny of the new title. *MLB The Show 25* is no exception, with players encountering a peculiar glitch known as the "Base hit to right field" bug. Here's a detailed look at this issue and how to tackle it.
What Is the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25?
Even before the official launch of *MLB The Show 25*, early players noticed a recurring issue at bat. No matter where the ball actually went, commentator Boog Sciambi would consistently announce, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This can be incredibly confusing, particularly when the ball lands in left field or even flies out of the park.
Clearly, this isn't what San Diego Studio intended. The commentary is supposed to match the on-field action. Yet, this bug can lead to strategic missteps, as players might mistakenly send a runner home, not realizing a defender is poised to make a play. Thankfully, there are ways to address this issue.
How To Fix the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25
The simplest solution to bypass this bug is to mute the commentators. Navigate to the game's settings and slide the "Commentary Volume" to zero. This prevents Boog Sciambi from making the incorrect call. However, this comes with a trade-off, as the sounds of the bat and other in-game noises provide valuable situational feedback. Hopefully, this bug will be resolved soon, allowing players to enjoy the full audio experience again.
As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially commented on the "Base hit to right field" bug, leaving players in the dark about a permanent fix. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, the developers are likely working hard to iron out all kinks in their latest baseball simulation.
That's how you can address the "Base hit to right field" bug in *MLB The Show 25*. For further tips and insights, check out whether you should opt for college or go pro in this year's Road to the Show.
