Alright, so I’ve been messing around with different camera angles in MLB The Show 24, trying to find that sweet spot, you know? Started off with the default settings, but it just didn’t feel right. I wanted something that gave me a better view of the pitch coming in, something that would help me react faster and more accurately.
First, I tried out ‘Strike Zone’. It’s pretty popular, and I can see why. It zooms in real close, so you can really see the ball’s movement. But for me, it felt a bit too close. I felt like I was losing track of the overall field and batter’s stance. It’s like, you’re so focused on the ball that you miss everything else. Not my cup of tea, honestly.

Then I switched to ‘Strike Zone 2’. It’s a bit zoomed out compared to the regular ‘Strike Zone’, which I liked. Gave me a slightly wider view, but still kept that focus on the pitch. I played a few games with this one, and it was okay. Definitely better than the first one I tried, but still not quite there.
- I even dabbled with ‘Zoom’ for a bit. I liked how it looked, focusing on the batter. It felt more like watching a real game on TV, but it wasn’t the best for actually hitting.
After a bunch of experimenting, I landed on ‘Catcher Far’. Man, this one is a game-changer. It’s like you’re standing behind the catcher, way back, but you still get a clear view of the pitch coming in. It gives you a great sense of the field, the batter’s position, everything. I noticed my timing improving, and I was picking up on different pitch types way easier.
Here’s the deal with ‘Catcher Far’:
- It’s not too zoomed in, so you don’t lose sight of the overall play.
- You get a clear view of the pitch from release to the plate.
- It feels more natural, at least for me, in terms of tracking the ball.
I stuck with ‘Catcher Far’ for a good chunk of my playtime, and I gotta say, it really made a difference. My hits were more consistent, and I felt more in control at the plate. I think to make it even better, I placed the camera right behind the toe line of the batter.
Of course, everyone’s different. What works for me might not work for you. But if you’re struggling to find the right camera angle in MLB The Show 24, I definitely recommend giving ‘Catcher Far’ a shot. It might just be the change you need. And hey, don’t be afraid to experiment! Try out different angles, see what feels best, and go from there. Hitting is such a big part of the game, so finding that perfect view is crucial. Good luck, and have fun out there on the diamond!
