Yea. Noticed that when I gave up an absolute moonshot to the CPU in Diamond Dynasty. Camera held on the batter (Teoscar Hernandez) for a second or 2 before switching to the ball flight. Still had the distance popup unfortunately - only reason it wasn't perfect.
With the older presentation setups (again, the 2000 setting and before), it's probably a perfect recreation. When the user's pitching anyway. Maybe for CPU vs CPU too, since it locks to broadcast view in that situation.
