Gamers eager to gain an edge in *MLB The Show 25* can now leverage a strategic advantage thanks to San Diego Studio's innovative feature: Ambush Hitting. Here's how you can master this technique to outsmart your opponents.
Ambush Hitting is a game-changing mechanic available during every at-bat in *MLB The Show 25*. It allows hitters to predict which side of the plate the next pitch will target. If your guess is correct, your Plate Coverage Indicator (PCI) expands, and the timing window improves, giving you a significant advantage against tough pitchers, especially those who favor one side of the plate. However, using it at the wrong moment can backfire, so timing is crucial.
The Ambush Hitting controls are displayed at the bottom of the screen during your at-bat. To activate, simply move your right stick to the left for the left side of the plate or to the right for the right side. The chosen side will turn gray, visually indicating the area covered by your Ambush. If the pitch doesn't land within this zone, you can still swing or take the pitch, but you won't benefit from the Ambush bonus.
While it might be tempting to use Ambush Hitting on every pitch, remember that pitchers in *MLB The Show 25* are as unpredictable as their real-life counterparts. The key to success lies in observing and understanding the opponent's pitch sequence. By identifying patterns, you can strategically deploy Ambush Hitting to enhance your chances of hitting successfully. Although it won't guarantee a hit every time and may lead to some frustrating outs, this technique could be the decisive factor between victory and defeat.
That's how you can master Ambush Hitting in *MLB The Show 25*. For those looking to deepen their gameplay experience, consider whether to go to college or turn pro in this year's Road to the Show mode.
*MLB The Show 25 is now available in Early Access on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.*
