Whilst your opinion does make complete sense.

My view is that the online could be unstable with that many users which would result to bad press instead of like 10/10 and 9.8 which could hurt sales slightly. Since most games with online features have issues at launch basically every time. Also, there will likely be patches for the main game, so this allows them to concentrate on unexpected bugs on the single player.

Ofcourse, everything is probably analyzed and there seems to be little benefit in not releasing it later.
