Launch day for games like *MLB The Show 25* can be chaotic, with numerous players diving in to explore every feature. Unfortunately, bugs are inevitable, and one particular issue has been disrupting gameplay: the "Base hit to right field" bug. Here's a detailed guide on how to address this bug in *MLB The Show 25*.
What Is the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25?
Even before *MLB The Show 25*'s official launch, players noticed a recurring issue when at bat. Regardless of where the ball landed, commentator Boog Sciambi consistently announced, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This miscommunication is not only confusing but can lead to strategic missteps, such as sending a runner home under the false assumption that the ball is safely in right field when it might be elsewhere or even out of the park.
This discrepancy between the commentary and the actual gameplay is clearly not what San Diego Studio intended. While the bug can disrupt gameplay, there are fortunately some temporary solutions to manage it.
How to Fix the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25
The most straightforward way to bypass this bug is by muting the commentators. Navigate to the game's settings and adjust the "Commentary Volume" slider to zero. By doing so, you eliminate the possibility of hearing incorrect calls from Boog Sciambi. However, be aware that turning off the commentary means you'll miss out on the auditory cues that can enhance your gameplay experience, like the sound of the bat hitting the ball.
As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially addressed the "Base hit to right field" bug, leaving uncertainty about a permanent fix. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, it's reasonable to give the developers some time to iron out these initial kinks and get their latest baseball title running smoothly.
That's how you can temporarily resolve the "Base hit to right field" bug in *MLB The Show 25*. For more tips, check out our guide on whether to choose college or go pro in this year's Road to the Show mode.
