I have had some fun with Football Manager, and it does have a similar vibe of "letting the story play out". However, the Retro games allow you to actively control players in the match itself, instead of only being the manager like in FM. That's the cool thing: an extremely skillful player may thrash an opponent and earn a big reward, but in a different situation may only be able to "avoid disaster". I feel like this is similar to real-life, but isn't really applied in a lot of games.
