It's hit and miss. A lot of times you'll get ones that look wrong or get cut off by the fielder, other times you'll get ones like this.
This is probably my biggest complaint. They have made progress toward it, but it's still not right.

One of the problems that I see is that the friction on the field is too high. Couple that with outfielders getting great jumps and maybe being a bit too fast, I rarely see balls make it all the way into the corner (like the one in the video).

Not a "down the line" hit, but last night, I hit a line drive in the gap at 105MPH. Split the outfielders perfectly but it didn't make it to the wall. It stopped short of the warning track. I just think the friction is a bit high...
