You Can't Turn On Your PCI, But You Can Definitely Fine-Tune It: A Guide for MLB The Show 23 Hitting Noobs (and Maybe Some Veterans Too)
Ah, the PCI. The bane of existence for some, a mysterious box of wonders for others. Let's face it, hitting a baseball in real life is hard enough. In MLB The Show 23, they throw a whole new layer of challenge at us with this ever-moving target. But fear not, fellow baseball enthusiasts (and button mashers like myself), because today we're here to unravel the mysteries of the PCI, and by the end, you'll be launching dingers like it's your day job (without the questionable hot dog selection).
First Things First: There's No On/Off Switch (Unless You Want to Quit, Which We Don't Recommend)
There seems to be a common misconception that you can just "turn on" the PCI. If only it were that easy! Imagine the chaos: everyone hitting nukes left and right. The game would lose all its charm (and maybe a few controllers). The PCI is more like a temperamental roommate - it needs some adjustments to get it working for you.
Finding Your Perfect Fit: Adjusting the PCI Settings in MLB The Show 23
Now that we've cleared the air, let's delve into the nitty-gritty. Here's how to customize your PCI to become a hitting machine:
-
Size Matters (But Not Like That): Think of the PCI as your hitting zone. You can make it bigger or smaller depending on your preference. A larger PCI might make you feel more confident, but a smaller one can lead to more precise power hitting. Experiment! Find the size that feels like Goldilocks and the PCI - just right.
-
Anchors Aweigh! (Well, Not Literally): This nifty option lets you lock the PCI in specific locations. Think of it like training wheels for your hitting. It can be a great way to get used to aiming for certain parts of the strike zone. Just remember, training wheels come off eventually, and so can the anchor (unless you find it charmingly retro).
-
Fading Away (or Not): You can adjust the opacity of the PCI. Basically, how see-through it is. Some players like a more transparent PCI so they can focus on the pitcher and the ball. Others prefer a more opaque one for a clearer target. Play around with it and see what works for your eagle eyes.
Remember, Practice Makes Perfect (and Don't Blame the PCI for Everything)
Look, the PCI is a tool, not a magic wand. You still gotta put in the effort to time your swing and pick the right pitches. But by customizing your settings and getting some practice reps in, you'll be a hitting maestro in no time. And hey, if you still strike out occasionally, well, blame it on the pitcher, the wind, the umpire...just not the PCI (we won't tell ).
So, there you have it! Now go forth, conquer the PCI, and launch some absolute missiles. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility (responsibility to hit dingers, that is). Happy slugging!
