You make it sound as if Sibelius/Finale is not playing it as you want to hear it. And I really hope that you're not basing your whole orchestration on what finale can play, because it's not at all close to what will sound in real life by real musicians. Still, that doesn't mean that your crescendo will sound just fine as you've written it (and as Qcc has pointed out), but still, you have to think more about the players than about finale's playback.
