Apologies

Konami apologises to Yves Makabu-Ma-Kalambay for mistakenly portraying him as a white Caucasian soccer player in “Pro Evolution Soccer 4” although he is black. Konami will be taking steps to correct this mistake in future editions of the game and is deeply sorry for any distress or embarrassment that this portrayal may have caused to Mr. Ma-Kalambay.

(maybe they should apologise to Milan Baros too....)

No Milan Baros is correct, he is that skin colour. So is Nuno Gomez.

^^ lmao

is he banned?

***Hunter*** · 21-01-2005, 16:08

if anyonehas seen Vaz Te in the game for Bolton he is sort of half-kast number 2 on skin colour i think but in real-life he is black..

Ma-Kalamby is a reserve goalkeeper for Chelsea. I'd never heard of him, but this name "Ma-Kalamby" didn't sound as if the player was white, but because I'd never heard of him I didn't think it was a mistake.

I don't know everything. Ask someone else.

**Dan** · 21-01-2005, 16:33

Ma-Kalamby isnt his real name, and hes german so he could well be white im not sure

**Cannon ball** · 21-01-2005, 16:36

Its the same for a player called berry who is on crystal palace and a player called shakes for plays for bolton, both are white but are black in real life.
