In NFL Head Coach, you literally make a play call and watch the result of your decision get simulated before your eyes in real-time with little to no opportunity for user interaction while that happens. You do this repeatedly over the course of multiple NFL games and seasons. The decisions you are allowed to make are authentic to decisions real-world NFL head coaches make on a play-by-play and day-to-day basis. In addition to these mechanics, the game shares Madden's high-level art style, that being photo-realistic graphics and audio.

Of all the examples or hypotheticals posed so far, I think this one is pretty cut-and-dry. NFL Head Coach is obviously a "sim" game, IMO. It's arguably the most "sim" console football game that exists.
