Deion Sanders is also not part of the video game[/caption]
But neither will be part of College Football 26 with their peers.
This year’s game will feature real head coaches from across the sport.
Head coaches such as Ryan Day at Ohio State and Dabo Swinney at Clemson are on the game.
The Athletic’s Chris Vannini was given early access to a copy.
And Colorado Buffaloes head coach was Kirk Patrick instead of Deion Sanders.
The fictional Buffaloes coach had an A+ rating and was labeled an elite recruiter.
He also liked the spread offense and the 4-2-5 defensive scheme.
North Carolina, meanwhile, are coached by Hector Luna on the game instead of Bill Belichick.
The made up Luna is a scheme guru with a B+ rating.
He likes the multiple offense as well as the 3-4 multiple defensive scheme.
Vannini also shared a screenshot of an interaction with Ohio State coach Day on the game.
The conversation took place during the Road to Glory career mode.
And Day took at shot at rivals Michigan State during the virtual conversation.
The reason for Sanders’ omission from the game is unclear.
But Awful Announcing reports that Belichick missing video games is standard practice.
Belichick was New England Patriots head coach for more than two decades.
But he never joined the NFL Coaches Association and, as a result, didn’t appear in Madden games.
The former Patriots coach was replaced with Chad Masters instead.
College Football 26 will be released on July 10.
The game is looking to build on College Football 25, which became the best-selling sports video game in history.
