MLB The Show 25 Patch Fixes Fielding Bug

Game launches often face challenges as players flood servers to explore every feature. Glitches inevitably emerge, and MLB The Show 25 currently struggles with one particular issue. Here's how to resolve the repetitive "Base hit to right field" commentary bug affecting gameplay.

Understanding MLB The Show 25's Announcing Glitch

During pre-launch testing, players noticed commentator Boog Sciambi consistently announcing "Swing and a ground ball. Base hit to right field" regardless of the ball's actual trajectory. This becomes particularly confusing when hits land in left field or clear the fences altogether.

San Diego Studio clearly didn't design this commentary mismatch, which creates gameplay issues when baserunning decisions rely on accurate field positioning. Though not game-breaking, this persistent audio bug can disrupt strategic play until properly addressed.

Solutions for the Commentary Bug

The quickest fix involves muting commentary entirely via the Audio Settings menu. While this eliminates incorrect calls, players lose the immersive atmosphere of stadium sounds. Developers will hopefully patch this issue soon, allowing players to restore full audio.

No official statement addresses whether the studio plans to fix this announcing issue. Given the recent launch, players should expect minor bugs as developers refine the baseball simulation experience.
