No.
Games go 'gold' (discs begin being manufactured) before actual development ceases in many cases these days. That's why there are day one patches, to add the data and fixes that the development team have made during the time in which discs are manufactured and shipped. In this case, the development team made the decision to delay the game rather than release a substantial day one patch. It's unfair on the (minority at this point) of gamers playing without an internet connection, because they get one version of a game, and those with the patch get a technically better product. It's a good decision to release as good a product as possible rather than require a hefty day one patch.
