What is it with the camera angles in this game??

I saw my first HR celebration! Vernon Wells did a Manny Ramirez bat flip. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but it was in my third game playing with the cursor on and fielder cam on. I've played all my games (about 30 to 40) with no cursor and classic cam. Had no hitter celebrations in those games.

I just hit a HR with Mike Piazza at Old Yankee Stadium and they showed his celebration! After he hit it, he whipped the bat back quickly, dropped it to the ground and stared at the ball for a second, then trotted to first. It looked like vintage Piazza. They showed him celebrate almost immediately after contact, from the centerfield camera, like in the broadcast view but a little more zoomed in. I knew there would be a cutscene for it because i noticed Piazza drag his bat through the strikezone as he hit the ball. Its a very unique swing, you'll know it when you see it. I've seen it also in HR Derby, where sometimes the hitter will kind of drag the bat through the zone, thats the indication that he's doing a celebration.

I have my HR Camera set to Random, and its been the first celebration I've seen since i got the game (a few days ago) and I've played over 25 games. I've seen different cutscenes where the pitcher falls to the ground (probly one out of every three of my HRs I've seen that), but this is the first time I've seen a batter celebrate.

That's pretty cool that they've got Piazza's homerun celebration. What's not though, is the fact that you've only seen it once in over 25 games played. Why is it so damn rare to see the homerun celebrations? Doesn't Piazza do that sort of reaction after almost every homerun he hits?

So do they really do the homerun celebrations in the homerun derby &amp; batting practice?
