A Visual History Of Every Fake Bill Belichick In Madden

The football world looks very different today. Bill Belichick, one of the NFL's winningest coaches of all time and as permanent a fixture on the New England Patriots as most any coach ever has been for a given team, is moving on after 24 illustrious seasons leading the team. Belichick and Patriots owner Robert Kraft mutually agreed to part ways after a lackluster 4-13 season, which itself came after a few seasons of post-Tom Brady diminishing returns.
While Patriots fans say goodbye to a legend, it's clear the coach plans to find a new landing spot elsewhere in the league. Still, it's the end of an era, so we thought it would be a good time to look back on Belichick's storied career through the lens of the Madden series. Faithful players of the series know all too well that, because Belichick isn't a member of the coaches union, his likeness is not in the video game series. This has resulted in the team at EA Tiburon coming up with a series of humorous replacements for the legendary coach.
His absence is a point of conversation for new Madden players every season. "Where's Belichick?" some ask. "Who's this Chad Masters guy?" others might say depending on the year. And if you're curious why Belichick isn't in the coaches union, you'll have to settle for guesswork, as he's (characteristically) never expressed publicly why this is the case. Though as you'll see below, it seems he once was a card-carrying member, if only briefly.
Belichick has worn many faces in Madden, but rarely his own. Let's look back on all the Not-Bill Belichicks there have been in Madden over the last quarter-century.
Madden diehards may not remember it, but there was a time when Belichick was actually in the game. Just a few months before the coach would lead the Patriots to one of the league's unlikeliest Super Bowl championships, Belichick was featured in name and likeness in Madden 2002.
I always felt like Belichick was playing a character, and he got deeper into that character as time went on. The curmudgeonly mastermind seemed to come out more with each of his six Super Bowl successes. Here we see a version of him that still smiled. In 2024, it feels like a Body Snatcher version of the man, but as a Boston native, I do have fond memories of him allowing himself to be expressive on those rare occasions over the past two and a half decades.
After this game, the coach disappeared from Madden forever, at least as of the time of writing this.
For players of a certain age, there is no New England coach more legendary than, well, NE Coach. Like the tomb of the unnamed soldier, NE Coach sacrificed it all for eternal (video game football) glory as an anonymous hero. Oddly, the first usage of NE Coach was Madden 2001, a

Sam Altman, Bill Gates Weigh AI Risks in Big Election Year
With almost half of the world's population heading to the polls in a national election in 2024, leaders at the World Economic Forum are grappling with how the arrival of ChatGPT will affect these democracies — and how governments will in turn regulate AI. Leaders in artificial intelligence including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates weighed in this week at Davos, the gilded annual conference where billionaires hold forth on global problems. While all said they took the threat of artificial intelligence on elections seriously, there was a split in whether they thought major disruption was likely.Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella somewhat downplayed the risks. “It's not like this is the first election where disinformation, or misinformation, and election interference is going to be a real challenge that we all have to tackle,” he said, speaking at Bloomberg House at Davos on Tuesday.
