Seems pretty clear that this is meant to be similarly to the way that EA names their games, not the way that Microsoft labels their products.

However, at the minimum with EA games, you get updated rosters, even if the gameplay was largely untouched. Some people gladly pay for this change. Given that roster sets are freely available, and in fact are not included with OOTP, the updates need to be pretty strong in order to justify buying a new version each year. Additionally, many will want to continue playing with their previous leagues in a new version, so that update path between versions better be rock solid.
oh, you mean like, Office '95, Office '97, Office 2000, Office 2002, Office 2003, Office 2007?
