Not really good business, even for a quick buck. Will it sell? Maybe. Might be a success. From a consumer standpoint, it's not ideal. If you buy a car at a dealer and then that dealer later releases that same car with better wheels for example, will you buy the newer one too just for the cosmetic look, or will you just buy the new tires (if you really wanted them)?
However, thankfully Off the Record is a new game altogether taking place in the same locale as the original DR2. New areas are available and the story will be different. It's been stated that Frank will not be doing the same missions Chuck did.

You say that, but there are people who buy Madden games every year and the only major difference is a roster change. Some gamers will buy it because of the franchise, regardless of how little change there is. (Again, I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's not that stupid.)
