Antoine Bethea was born on July 27, 1984 in Savannah, Georgia, attended Denbigh High School in Newport News, Virginia, and played college football at Howard. Indianapolis drafted him in the sixth round, 207th overall, in 2006. He started 14 games as a rookie and started at safety in the Colts' win over Chicago in Super Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007.

He was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 2007 season, which Madden NFL 08 rated him 85 for, and again after 2009. Madden NFL 09 rated him 93 for 2008. He started all 16 games in each of his last six seasons in Indianapolis, moving from free safety to strong safety in 2013, and Madden NFL 11 rated him 95 for 2010.

He signed with San Francisco in 2014 and was selected to a third Pro Bowl that season. A torn pectoral muscle cut his 2015 season to seven games, and Madden NFL 16 rated him 91 for that year. He spent 2017 and 2018 with Arizona and 2019 with the Giants, finishing 14 seasons with 1,334 tackles, 25 interceptions and 9.5 sacks. He announced his retirement in January 2021.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.

Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
