| Pinpoint |
In *MLB The Show 25*, just as in previous editions, the Pinpoint interface remains the top choice for pitching. It empowers you to control the ball's trajectory precisely by drawing specific lines for each pitch type. The accuracy of your pitch hinges on how well you trace these lines. While mastering Pinpoint can be time-consuming due to its strictness on errors, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to place pitches with pinpoint accuracy consistently.
Other pitching settings in *MLB The Show 25* are less critical than the Pitching Interface. Feel free to experiment with them, but keeping the Pitching Ball Marker on is advisable to help maintain focus on pitch location.
