If 2K18 is releasing in September, I hope it's late September (2K16 was released on 9/29) but I'm not hopeful this is the case -- I imagine early tip-off numbers for 2K17 and preorders were off the chart, which nearly guarantees 2K18 releasing in a similar manner.

Yes but since 2K17 was released 2 weeks earlier than usual that means their new dev cycle started 2 weeks earlier as well. Therefore releasing 2K18 in mid-Spetember would still give them a full cycle.
