3D animation celebrations?

I really don't use the 3-D features, but does it include celebrations? For instance, when I win a pennant do players charge the mound to celebrate? game winning hit or home run celebrations?

I would love to see curtain calls of player tipping his hat after a meaningful HR .... Not saying it isn't in the game already or not (just haven't seen or noticed it. yet)

In OOTP 18 there are game winning hit, home run and World Series celebrations. I never saw players charge the mound yet. I'll have to "accidentally" incite a brawl.

seen a few brawls and it usually happens after a home run then the next batter gets hit then a brawl happens and following game day you learn of the suspension

I dunno. Hopefully, if added, such a thing would be optional. I mean, what are us historical simmers supposed to do? MIckey Mantle used to circle the bases humbly hunched over with his head bowed, almost as if he was ashamed of what he had just done. Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams similarly circled the bases quickly, professionally and gesture free.

Therefore, it would kinda kill the historical immersion a little to try and simulate, say, the 1960 World Series, and then witness the animation that's supposed to be Mickey Mantle suddenly drop his bat after walloping one, grab his crotch, point towards heaven, admiringly stare at the shot he just hit for 30 seconds, and then slowly start to circle the bases euphorically gyrating the whole time like some zit-faced 16-year-old who is only seconds away from reaching climax while in the process of losing his virginity.

I've seen a couple of mound chargings as I tend to use "hit batter" rather than "intentional walk."
