You Can't Hit Air: A Beginner's Guide to Turning on Your PCI in MLB The Show 22
Let's face it, folks. Watching pitches sail past your bat like rogue missiles is about as fun as stepping on a Lego in bare feet. But fear not, aspiring baseball heroes! This here guide will be your knight in shining armor, or should I say, your trusty bat in a sea of curveballs. Today's mission: Turning on your PCI in MLB The Show 22.
What in the Heck is PCI Anyway?
Think of the PCI (plate coverage indicator) as your aiming reticle. It's that fancy diamond that shows up right before the pitcher throws. The goal? Line that sucker up with the incoming baseball for a hit so sweet, the angels will be singing (and probably asking for autographs).
Here's the catch: By default, your PCI might be switched off, leaving you swinging at thin air like a confused windmill. But worry not, because with a few clicks, you'll be a hitting machine in no time.
Turning on the Lights: Activating Your PCI
Step 1: Dive into the Options Menu.
This might sound fancy, but it's basically the settings area. Just hit that pause button, navigate to the options menu, and get ready to unleash your inner champion.
Step 2: Become One with the Batting Settings
Within the options menu, find the glorious land of "Game." Here, feel free to explore the wonders of baserunning (later, maybe), but for now, set your sights on "Batting and Base Running."
Step 3: The Big Moment - Enabling Your PCI
Scroll down until you see the holy grail: Plate Coverage Indicator. Make sure this bad boy is switched to "On". You might also want to check the "PCI Anchor" settings while you're there. It can help you keep your PCI in the zone, but that's a whole other adventure for another day.
Congratulations! You've successfully turned on your PCI and are officially one step closer to baseball superstardom.
Bonus Tip: Don't forget to adjust the PCI's appearance in the settings too! Maybe you like it big and flashy, or perhaps a sleek and subtle approach is more your style. Experiment and find what works best for your hitting eye.
Now get out there and start crushing dingers! Remember, practice makes perfect (and seeing the ball helps too). Just don't be surprised if your opponents start throwing rotten tomatoes in the stands after you launch your tenth home run in a row. That's just the price of fame, baby!
