Launch day can be a challenging time for new games as a surge of players dive in to explore all the features. Unfortunately, *MLB The Show 25* is facing its own launch day hiccup with the "Base hit to right field" bug. Here's a detailed guide on how to address this issue and keep your gameplay smooth.

What Is the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25?

Even before *MLB The Show 25* hit the shelves, players noticed a peculiar glitch. No matter where the ball was hit, the game's commentator, Boog Sciambi, would consistently announce, "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field." This can be quite disorienting, especially when the ball lands in left field or sails out of the park.

Clearly, this is not what San Diego Studio intended, as the commentary is meant to match the on-field action. This bug can lead to strategic missteps, such as sending a runner home under the impression the ball will sneak through, only to find the defense ready to make a play. Thankfully, there are ways to mitigate this issue.

How To Fix the 'Base Hit to Right Field' Bug in MLB The Show 25

The simplest fix for the "Base hit to right field" bug is to mute the commentators. Navigate to the game's settings and slide the "Commentary Volume" to zero. This way, Boog Sciambi's incorrect calls won't disrupt your gameplay. However, this solution has its drawbacks, as the ambient sounds like the crack of the bat can provide valuable feedback during the game. Hopefully, this bug will be resolved soon, allowing players to enjoy the full audio experience once again.

As of now, San Diego Studio has not officially acknowledged the "Base hit to right field" bug, leaving uncertainty about a permanent fix. Given that it's launch week for *MLB The Show 25*, the developers are likely busy fine-tuning the game. Patience is key as they work to get everything running smoothly.
