Well... For my point of view there isn't nothing wrong about how "1 pitch mode" works.
I think the idea is when you click it's going to happen one important play, the idea is to not show all the game(and for that exists 3 pitch mode).
So you'll see one important play no matter what it is. So you're not going to see just "one-pitch", you'll see one-important-play, and that's the point.
If you just don't want to see what's really happen in the game just use the options to sim the innings individually or sim all the game and then read the log.
The 3d view is for who wants to see the game happening, and not for who wants to finish it as fastest as possible.
But it's only my opinion, and I respect all the perspectives.
Good playing and simming to all!
