Spring Training has pitchers and catchers beginning to report to camp this week. The Super Bowl is over, time to move on with the sports life as Spring begins to blossom. San Diego Studios has released their second video detailing gameplay updates to MLB The Show 25. There will be a follow-up video on Thursday that is known as the Feature Premiere. This Feature Deep Dive identifies some core updates to the game set to release on March 18 with early access hitting March 14. MLB The Show 25 will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. It can be pre-ordered now.
Ambush Hitting Powered by ShowTech
The new technology that San Diego Studios is instilling in MLB The Show 25 is ShowTech. All of these gameplay updates are powered by this tech. Leading off the trailer is Ambush Hitting, which allows you to gamble on a pitch location. The Plate Coverage Indicator will grow (and assumably the hit box if not playing with the PCI) if the pitch is chosen correctly.
Real MLB players guess pitch locations during games, no matter the level of play. It is literally part of the strategy...
