Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]s include:
* A spreadsheet typo caused one of the players in ''[[Madden NFL (Video Game)|Madden 06]]'' to be ''[http://news.cnet.com/Madden-bug-makes-NFL-player-tiny/2100-1043_3-5883301.html mere inches in height!]'' Gamers enjoyed ''Madden'' for the first time in years, but the bug was quickly fixed, killing off the amusement.
 
* A spreadsheet typo caused one of the players in ''[[Madden NFL (Video Game)|Madden 06]]'' to be ''[http://news.cnet.com/Madden-bug-makes-NFL-player-tiny/2100-1043_3-5883301.html mere inches in height!]'' Gamers enjoyed ''Madden'' for the first time in years, but the bug was quickly fixed, killing off the amusement.
* In ''NHL 09'', if a goal ricochets into the net off a defender's stick, that defender will be shown celebrating with the other team in the goal cutscene. It's just too funny to eliminate.
** It gets better. If you pokecheck the puck from the opponent's goalie into the net, he celebrates with your team. Goalies should celebrate goals more often in real life.
Line 10 ⟶ 12:
* In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, doing many tricks rapidly in succession would cause the player to pick up speed. This gave alternative methods to get to certain areas (it is possible for instance to launch off a concrete bank in School 2 to find an alternative route to the area containing the Carlsbad gap that is usually used as the exit from that spot in the game) and it's pretty much the only simple way to do the Love gap. It can also be used in the Marseilles level to do 1080s and 1260s, or a "360 the 900".
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr9sy37GIRc This video] shows how in ''Major League Baseball 2K6'' a Fenway Park outfielder can prevent a home run by jumping the height of the Green Monster [[In a Single Bound]].
* Any of the various bugs that exists in ''[[Football Manager (Video Game)|Football Manager]]'' that aren't outright cheats but still give the human player an advantage if they choose to use them. The most well known are the "Corner Bug", which are when given a specific set of instructions at corner kicks, they will result in more goals than usual. Over the years they have included firing the ball out to the edge of the penalty box for a long shot, moving all but your best player away from the near post then having the corner taken there, the same but the back post.
** Another well known bug is setting a player to be sold to another team with international appearance clauses. Whilst you are manager of the international team. Every so often a version of the game will come out where the AI doesn't recognise this situation, and will happily include a "play 10 games and pay 50 million pounds" clause because they see that the player they are buying isn't likely to play internationally, but doesn't realise that the human player can easily bring them into the team and play them and get the money.
** Then there are the overall [[Game Breaker]] tactics. The most well known was the Diablo tactic for Championship Manager 03/04. To this day the top tactics are compared to it.
Line 16 ⟶ 18:
* NFL Street 2 had a exploit in one of the NFL Challenge mode challenges, in which you earned a certain number of development points for your player character. Said exploit involved doing the challenge over and over again without exiting from the challenge, meaning not only does the game not progress the days for the final tournament, [[Game Breaker|but that also means you can have all the development points you want to turn your players into superstars.]]
