A better example would be the Football Manager series( previously Championship Manager). It's got more stats and numbers than any RPG, really.
But yeah, it's all about the targeted audience. FM has been going since like '94 or something, with a new game every year. And each year the fans demand more and more. They have, at times, tried to made concessions to widen the targeted audience by making simpler tactics systems and implemented 3D matches and whatnot, but they've always done so while still keeping all the old options intact; want the more advanced tactics system? It's still there. Want 2D matches instead? Still an option.
That said of course, their older games were arguably more fun to play since they ran much quicker and had less stuff you needed to click through to get to the actual matches and such. An entire season can take ages in the new games, while in the previous ones it could be done in a single sitting.
