Bug In 'Madden' Game Makes NFL Player Tiny

Thanks to a bug in a roster update for the online version of popular NFL game "Madden 2006", a player who is 6-feet-3, 305 pounds -- appears in the game to be 7 inches tall. It's the bug that makes Michael King look like a bug.

King, who is a lineman for the New York Jets was apparently the victim of a typo made when the rosters were updated.

The game makers, EA, offer periodic updates during the National Football League season that take contain updated information such as player trades and injuries so teams can have the most accurate rosters. But in the most recent update, King's height was entered incorrectly and wasn't noticed until it was downloaded by thousands.

"You can barely see him on the field, unless you go into replay (mode)", said Phil Frazier, a "Madden" producer. "He's a tiny little guy". (see below)

But not all players are complaining, and the general reaction to the bug has been laughter with some calling it the "best bug ever".
