The guys on the NBA 2K and MLB: The Show franchises are the only sports devs who really try to bring it on a consistent basis.
If the publishers weren't so money hungry, they could extend roster updates over the course of two seasons so the dev team has a chance to make the game as good as they can. Spending more time making a quality product as opposed to a "glorified roster update" could get more gamers that don't usually play sports games to make the purchase. Unfortunately though, I don't see that ever happening as they are making too much money releasing annually.
