How To Fix the ‘Base Hit To Right Field’ Bug in MLB The Show 25

Launch day for a game like *MLB The Show 25* is thrilling, but it can also be challenging as a surge of players dive in to explore every feature. Among the excitement, bugs can emerge, and one particularly pesky issue is the "Base hit to right field" bug. Here's a detailed guide on how to tackle this glitch 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* hit the shelves, players encountered a peculiar issue during gameplay. When at bat, no matter where the ball actually landed, the game's commentator, Boog Sciambi, would consistently announce, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This mismatch between the commentary and the on-field action can be confusing and misleading, particularly if a player believes a ball is going to right field when it's actually headed elsewhere. This can affect strategic decisions, like sending a runner home, under the wrong impression.

Clearly, this wasn't the intended experience from San Diego Studio, as accurate commentary is crucial for immersion and gameplay. Despite its disruptive nature, there are ways to address this bug.

The most straightforward solution to bypass this bug is to mute the commentators. Navigate to the game's settings and slide the "Commentary Volume" to zero. While this prevents Boog Sciambi from making incorrect calls, it comes with the trade-off of missing out on the immersive sounds of the game, like the crack of the bat, which can be crucial for situational awareness. Hopefully, this workaround is temporary, and players can soon enjoy the full commentary experience again.

As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially commented on 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 understandable that the developers are focusing on ensuring the game runs smoothly overall.
