Launch day jitters are common for any game, and MLB The Show 25 is no exception. Countless players diving in means bugs are inevitable, and one particularly quirky issue has players scratching their heads: the "Base hit to right field" bug. Let's break down how to fix this frustrating glitch.
Understanding the "Base Hit to Right Field" Bug
Even before MLB The Show 25's official launch, players noticed a strange commentary quirk. Regardless of where the ball actually lands – left field, center field, even a home run – commentator Boog Sciambi consistently calls, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This disconnect between the on-screen action and the commentary is jarring, especially in crucial moments. Misinterpreting the call could lead players to make incorrect base-running decisions.
The Fix: Silence the Commentary
The simplest solution? Turn down the commentary volume. Locate the "Commentary Volume" slider in the game's settings and adjust it to zero. This eliminates the inaccurate calls entirely. While this removes the atmosphere added by the commentary, it's a quick and effective workaround. Hopefully, a permanent fix will allow players to enjoy the full audio experience soon.
What's Next?
San Diego Studio hasn't yet addressed this bug directly, so there's no official patch just yet. Given it's launch week, some leeway is understandable as they work to iron out the kinks in their new baseball sim.
