There aren't many sports gamers who purchase every sports title so I doubt it matters that much. Soccer games are more difficult to pull off an earlier release because of the summer transfer window. There are several leagues and teams you'll have to do transfers for, not to mention create new characters in the mean time. Soccer games are the only sports games to launch after seasons already started because of the summer transfer window. It takes about a week or so for some games to keep up to date with their rosters, now imagine having to do that with FIFA or PES with every small move that gets made within a 2 month span of time. That would be insane and would cause difficulties to their team that it would make it pointless to have.
