They've always done it this way, the recent games April - midyear and I'm pretty sure a lot of the earlier ps1/ps2 games were either during the finals, September, or after the season all together.
Maybe they just don't have the resources to finish it with the draft and trading in November which is a shame cause from a sales perspective releasing it right on round one or even during the preseason games would be fantastic.
