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

Launch day jitters are common for any game, and MLB The Show 25 is no exception. A frustrating bug has emerged, causing the commentator to consistently announce "Base hit to right field," regardless of where the ball actually lands. This can be incredibly confusing and even impact gameplay decisions. Let's dive into how to fix this annoying glitch.

Understanding the "Base Hit to Right Field" Bug

Even before official launch, players reported this persistent commentary error. No matter if the ball sails into left field, clears the fence, or drops harmlessly short, commentator Boog Sciambi consistently calls a "ground ball… base hit to right field." This discrepancy is problematic, potentially misleading players about the actual outcome of their at-bats and leading to poor strategic choices on the basepaths.

The Quick Fix: Mute the Commentary

The simplest solution is to temporarily disable the game's commentary. Navigate to the game's settings and lower the "Commentary Volume" slider to zero. This eliminates the inaccurate calls entirely. While this sacrifices the atmospheric sounds of the game, it's a practical workaround until a permanent fix is implemented.

Waiting for a Patch

San Diego Studio hasn't yet addressed this bug, but given it's early in the game's lifecycle, a patch addressing this issue is likely forthcoming. Patience is key while the developers work to iron out the kinks in their latest baseball title.

Conclusion

For now, muting the commentary provides an immediate solution to the frustrating "Base hit to right field" bug in MLB The Show 25. Keep an eye out for updates from San Diego Studio for a more permanent fix.

MLB The Show 25 is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
