Yeah, it's really more a case of only having a year of development time in cycles between games that lead to games either being nearly identical to last year, or have a lot of flaws because you don't have the time to implement new things.
Look at the Smackdown vs Raw series for example... Full of bugs.
Or Madden etc.
It'd be better off if they released new games every 2-3 years and just roster updated them. Well better for quality, but not for sales... hence why they don't do it.
