  The ability update means 116 updates the ability parameter according to the game result in the specific player game event. The ability updating means 116 updates the ability parameter B according to the result of the one game every time one game is finished among a plurality of games played in the pennant race. For this reason, when the ability parameter B fluctuates through a plurality of matches and the ability parameter B fluctuates and falls below a predetermined value, the specific player does not participate in the match.
[0063]
  The motion control means 118 controls the movement of the player according to the ability parameter. For example, when the ability parameter B indicates that a player's running power is large, the player is controlled to run fast. When the ability parameter B is updated in the specific player game event, the motion control means 118 determines the movement of the player in the game held at the specific player game event or the normal game event based on the updated ability parameter B. Control.
[0064]
  The capability conversion restoration means 119 functions as a parameter conversion means and a restoration means. The ability conversion restoration means 119 converts the ability parameter B of the specific player into a password when the password conversion command received by the operation unit 102 is input. For example, there is a password obtained by converting numerical data of the capability parameter B into character data. Here, the ability conversion restoration means 119 displays the converted password on the display unit 101.
[0065]
  In addition, when a password is input by the user using the operation unit 102, the capability conversion restoration unit 119 restores the capability parameter corresponding to the password, and the user can input the updated capability at any time by inputting the password. Parameter B can be restored. If the ability parameter B is not after password conversion, other players may not be registered in the storage unit 104 as specific players.
[0066]
  The game progress control process executed by the video game apparatus 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. The game progress control process includes an initial setting process and a reset prevention process. The initial setting process is a process for setting items to be set as a premise for the start of the pennant trace, such as mode selection in which the user selects the above-described normal event mode or specific player game event mode, and selection of a specific player. The reset prevention process is a process executed when the specific player game event mode is selected.
[0067]
  The reset prevention process includes a pennant process. When the pennant process is interrupted by the user before the completion of the pennant process, the specific number is incremented by 1, and when the specific number exceeds the predetermined number, the updated ability parameter Erase B (see FIG. 3). By this reset prevention process, a penalty can be given when the user resets the pennant process and re-trains the specific player when the specific player's training status is not favorable. As a result, the user can face the development of the specific player in the specific player game event with a sense of tension.
[0068]
  The pennant process is a process in which a pennant trace is performed in a specific player game event. A pennant race is a game in which a plurality of teams play a round-robin game and win based on the overall results of all the games. In the pennant process, the game process is executed several times. Through this game process, the user updates the ability parameter B and trains a specific player. Note that the game progress control process includes a process in which a pennant trace is executed in a normal game event, and a plurality of game processes are performed in the pennant trace. However, since the video game according to the embodiment of the present invention is characterized by a specific player game event, the video game will be described specifically for the pennant process in the specific player game event.
[0069]
  First, an initial setting process executed by the video game apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an initial setting process executed by the video game apparatus 1. First, the image creation / display control means 111 displays an icon for selecting the normal game mode and an icon for selecting the specific player game mode on the display unit 101. The normal game mode is a mode in which a normal game event is executed. The specific player game mode is a mode in which a specific player game event is executed. In step S <b> 1, the operation unit 102 receives a mode selection command for selecting a specific player game event or a normal game event, which is input when the user selects the icon on the display unit 101.
[0070]
  After the mode selection command is accepted, the mode selection means 112 determines whether or not the accepted mode is the specific player game mode (S2). When it is not determined that the accepted mode is the specific player game mode (S2; NO), since the normal game mode is selected, the mode selection unit 112 performs the normal game setting process. The normal game setting process is a process for performing settings necessary for performing a normal pennant trace, which is a pennant trace in a normal game event. The normal game setting process includes, for example, a process in which the user selects his / her team by selecting a displayed icon, and the selected own team is stored in the storage unit 104 as option data C.
[0071]
  The mode selection means 112 determines whether or not the normal game setting process has ended, and if it is determined that the normal game setting process has ended (S12; YES), the initial setting process ends. If it is not determined that the normal game setting process has been completed (S12; NO), the process returns to step S1. Under the conditions set in the normal game setting process, the pennant trace in the normal game event is executed.
[0072]
  When it is determined that the accepted mode is the specific player game mode (S2; YES), the image selection display control unit 111 causes the mode selection unit 112 to create an icon indicating a player that can be selected as the specific player. Display. Here, the image creation / display control means 111 also creates and displays a cancel icon for canceling the selection of the specific player. The user inputs a specific player selection command to the operation unit 102 by performing an operation on the operation unit 102 to select an icon indicating a specific player to be selected on the display unit 101.
[0073]
  The operation unit 102 receives a specific player selection command for the user to select a specific player and register it in the storage unit 104 (S3). The specific player selection command received by the operation unit 102 is input to the mode selection unit 112, and the mode selection unit 112 sets the player corresponding to the specific player selection command as a specific player and stores specific player data A indicating the specific player in the storage unit 104. And the ability parameter B and experience value D of the specific player are stored in the storage unit 104. The specific player selection command is a command for registering in the storage unit 104 a player selected as a specific player by the user.
[0074]
  Here, when the user wants to cancel the selection of the specific player, the cancel command is input by selecting the cancel icon instead of inputting the player selection command. When the operation unit 102 receives a cancel command, the operation unit 102 inputs the cancel command to the mode selection unit 112. The mode selection means 112 determines whether the input command is a cancel command (S4). If the input command is determined to be a cancel command (S4; YES), the process returns to step S1, and the user Can re-enter the mode selection command.
[0075]
  When it is not determined that the input command is a cancel command (S4; NO), the image creation / display control unit 111 displays an icon indicating a team that the user can select as his / her team on the display unit 101. Here, the image creation display control means 111 also displays a cancel icon for inputting a cancel command for canceling the team selection on the display unit 101. The user inputs a team selection command by performing an operation on the operation unit 102 to select an icon of a team that the user wants to select as his team from the displayed icons, and the operation unit 102 receives the team selection command (S5). . The operation unit 102 inputs the received team selection command to the mode selection unit 112, and the mode selection unit 112 stores the own team corresponding to the input mode selection command as option data C in the storage unit 104 in step S11 described later. To do. The team selection command is a command for causing the storage unit 104 to register a team that the user wants to select as his / her team.
[0076]
  Here, when the user cancels the selection of the team, instead of inputting the team selection command, the cancel icon is selected and the cancel command is input to the operation unit 102. When the operation unit 102 receives a cancel command, the operation unit 102 inputs the cancel command to the mode selection unit 112. The mode selection means 112 determines whether the input command is a cancel command (S6). If the input command is determined to be a cancel command (S6; YES), the process returns to step S3, and the user Can re-enter the specific player selection command.
[0077]
  When it is not determined that the input command is a cancel command (S6; NO), the image creation / display control unit 111 displays an icon for allowing the user to select option setting on the display unit 101. The option setting includes, for example, a setting of whether to perform the pennant race according to the rules of the Se League or the rules of the Pacific League. Here, the image creation control unit 111 also displays a cancel icon for inputting a cancel command for canceling the team selection on the display unit 101.
[0078]
  The operation unit 102 accepts an option selection command that is input by selecting an icon corresponding to an option setting that the user wants to select (S7). The input option data selection command is input to the mode selection unit 112, and the mode selection unit 112 stores the option setting corresponding to the option data selection command as option data C in the storage unit 104 in step S11 described later.
[0079]
  Here, when the user wants to cancel the option setting selection, instead of inputting the team selection command, the user selects the cancel icon and inputs the cancel command to the operation unit 102. When the operation unit 102 receives a cancel command, the operation unit 102 inputs the cancel command to the mode selection unit 112. The mode selection means 112 determines whether or not the input command is a cancel command (S8), and if it is determined that the input command is a cancel command (S8; YES), the process returns to step S5, and the user Can re-enter the team selection command.
[0080]
  When it is not determined that the input command is a cancel command (S8; NO), the image creation / display control unit 111 displays an icon for selecting a pennant trace setting. The setting of the pennant trace includes, for example, setting of the number of games played in the pennant trace.
[0081]
  The user inputs a pennant trace setting selection command to the operation unit 102 by selecting an icon corresponding to the pennant trace setting to be selected, and the operation unit 102 receives the pennant trace selection command (S9). The accepted pennant trace setting selection command is input to the mode selection unit 112, and the mode selection unit 112 stores the pennant trace setting corresponding to the pennant trace setting selection command as option data C in the storage unit 104 in step S11 described later.
[0082]
  And the counting means 113 counts the specific frequency showing the frequency | count that the player shown by the specific player data A memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 104 was selected as a specific player, and counts one (S10). In step S11, the storage unit 102 stores the specific player data A, ability parameter B, option data C, and experience value D.
[0083]
  In step S2, the specific player game mode is selectively stored in the storage unit 104 and the specific player game event is executed, so that the user can select and execute not only the normal game event but also the specific player game event. it can. Moreover, the specific player data A which shows the specific player which the user selected by step S3 is memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 104, and only a specific player should be operated by a specific player game event. Therefore, the user can be freed from the hassle of operating all the players at the specific player game event.
[0084]
  Next, a reset prevention process executed by the video game apparatus 1 after the initial setting process is completed will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a reset prevention process executed by the video game apparatus 1. As described above, the reset prevention process is a process for giving a penalty to the user when the user resets the pennant process when the specific player's training status is not favorable and redoes the specific player.
[0085]
  First, in step S <b> 21, the participation control unit 114 reads data stored in the storage unit 104. The data stored in the storage unit 104 includes, in addition to the specific player data A and the like, data related to a reset prevention flag, which will be described later, and data related to a specific number of times.
[0086]
  The participation control means 114 determines whether or not a reset prevention flag is set in the stored data read into the storage unit 104 (S22). The reset prevention flag is a flag given before the pennant process is started. The reset prevention flag is canceled in step S29, which will be described later, when the pennant process is completed in step S27. Therefore, when the reset prevention flag is set in step S22, the pennant process is completed before the pennant process is completed. Is forcibly terminated by the user.
[0087]
  When it is determined that the reset prevention flag is set (S22; YES), the counting means 113 counts a specific number of times as a penalty for the pennant process being forcibly terminated by the user before the pennant process is completed. 1 and the data indicating the specific number of times is stored in the storage unit 104 (S23). Then, the image creation / display control means 111 creates and displays a warning message for giving a warning to the user that the pennant process has been forcibly terminated before the pennant process is completed (S24). If it is not determined that the reset prevention flag is set (S22; NO), the entry control means 114 sets the reset prevention flag, stores the data with the reset prevention flag set in the storage unit 104 (S25), and then the step S26 is executed.
[0088]
  In step S26, the participation control means 114 determines whether or not the specific number has exceeded a predetermined number (S26). If it is not determined that the specific number exceeds the predetermined number (S26; NO), a pennant process is executed (S27). In the pennant process, a pennant trace is executed based on the conditions set in the initial setting process shown in FIG. In the pennant race, a plurality of matches are played with the set number of times, and the ability parameter B of the specific player operated by the user is updated throughout the match. When this ability parameter is updated and the updated ability parameter B is registered, the pennant process is completed.
[0089]
  After the pennant process is completed, the entry control unit 114 determines whether the pennant process is completed after the pennant process is completed (S28). If it is determined that the pennant process is completed after the pennant process is completed (S28; YES), the reset prevention flag is released, and the data from which the reset prevention flag is released is stored. When it is not determined that the pennant process is completed after the pennant process is completed (S28; NO), the reset prevention process is terminated without executing step S29.
[0090]
  Here, if it is not determined that the pennant process has been completed, step S29 is not executed, and the reset prevention flag remains on. When the pennant process is performed again in the specific player game event mode, the reset prevention process is executed again, and it is determined that the reset prevention flag is set in step S22, and the specific number of times is counted in step S23. This gives the user a penalty for ending the pennant process before the pennant process is completed.
[0091]
  On the other hand, when it is determined that the specific number has exceeded the predetermined number (S26; YES), the ability erasing unit 115 erases the ability parameter B updated in the pennant process (S30). When the updated ability parameter B is deleted, the ability parameter B of the specific player returns to the initial value before being updated. Here, the reset prevention flag is canceled and the specific number of specific players is returned to the initial value.
[0092]
  After execution of step S30, the image creation / display control means 111 creates a data deletion message for notifying the user of data deletion and displays it on the display unit 101. Thereafter, the reset prevention process ends.
[0093]
  When the specific number of times exceeds the predetermined number in steps S26 and S30, the updated ability parameter B is deleted, so that the user can limit the pennant trace when the training situation of the player in the pennant race is not preferable. By doing so, it is possible to nurture players who are too strong and prevent the difficulty of the baseball game from decreasing.
[0094]
  Further, by the above step S23, the counting means 113 counts the specific number of times when the reset prevention flag is set, so that the user erases the pennant trace before the completion of the pennant trace when the training situation of the player in the pennant trace is not preferable. And by repeating again and again, too strong players are nurtured, and the difficulty of baseball games is prevented from decreasing.
[0095]
  Next, the pennant process in step S27 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the pennant process in the reset prevention process shown in FIG. In the pennant process, a plurality of matches are executed under the conditions set in the initial setting process shown in FIG. For example, when the user operates only a specific player indicated by the specific player data A registered in the storage unit 104 in the initial setting process, the number of matches indicated by the option data C is advanced. Then, the ability parameter B of the specific player is updated according to the game result.
[0096]
  First, in S41, the user inputs today's game command, and the operation unit 102 receives today's game command. In today's game command, for example, Pennant Race will be executed according to a virtual schedule, but the “Proceed Game” command to execute the game on the day of the virtual schedule, There are a “progress one day” command for automatically processing at high speed, a “schedule display” command for displaying a schedule, a “score display” command for displaying grades, an “end processing” command for terminating pennant processing, and the like. As for today's game command, the image creation / display control means 111 displays an icon corresponding to each command, and the user selects an icon corresponding to each command, whereby the current game command is input to the operation unit 102.
[0097]
  Thereafter, in step S42, it is determined which command is today's game command, which is a user command received by the operation unit 102. That is, when the input today's game command is a “result display” command or a “schedule display” command, it is input from the operation unit 102 to the image creation display control means 111, and the image creation display control means 111 is input. It is determined which command is a command (S42). When it is determined that the command is a “result display” command, the image creation / display control unit 111 creates and displays an image indicating the ability of the specific player indicated by the ability parameter B of the specific player (S43). Thereafter, the process returns to step S41. When it is determined that the input command is “schedule display” (S42), the image creation / display control means 111 creates and displays an image showing the schedule of the game (S44). Thereafter, the process returns to step S41.
[0098]
  Further, when the today's game command input is a “game end” command, it is input from the operation unit 102 to the game progress processing means 117, and the game progress processing means 117 has input the “game end” command. (S42) and the pennant process is terminated.
[0099]
  Then, when the “Proceed 1 day” command is accepted in step S41, the “Proceed 1 day” command is input to the game progress processing means 117, and the entered game command “Proceed 1 day” It is determined that the command is “command” (S42). Then, the game progress processing means 117 determines whether or not there is a game other than the own team on that day (S45). If it is determined that there is a game other than the own team (S45; YES), the game progress is performed in step S47. The processing means 117 executes a game between other teams (S47). In the game processing here, as will be described in detail later, the game progress processing means 117 performs automatic processing until the game ends, and only the game result is displayed. And it returns to step S45 and the process of S47 is repeated until it is not judged that there exists a game other than the own team.
[0100]
  When it is not determined that there is a game other than the own team (S45; NO), it is determined whether there is a game of the own team (S46), and when it is determined that there is a game of the own team (S46; YES) In step S48, the game progress processing means 117 executes a match between the own team and another team. Although the game here is also described in detail later, it is not necessary to operate a specific player, and automatic processing is performed until the game ends, and the game status is not displayed during the game processing. Thereafter, step S49 is executed. If it is not determined that there is a game other than the own team (S46; NO), step S49 is executed. In step S49, the image creation / display control means 111 creates and displays “today's result” which is today's game result. Thereafter, step S50 is executed, and step S50 will be described later.
[0101]
  When the “progress game” command is received by the operation unit 102 in step S41, the “progress game” command is input to the game progress processing unit 117, and the game progress processing unit 117 receives the “progress game” command. (S42). When it is determined that the “progress game” command has been input by the game progress processing means 117, the game process is executed (S56). In the game process here, unlike the game process in step S48 described above, when the team participates in the game and the specific player participates, the game proceeds by the user operating the specific player. To do. Even players belonging to the team are automatically processed by the game progress processing means 117 and are not operated by the user. If the game is not played by the team, the game is automatically processed by the game progress processing means 117 as in step S47.
[0102]
  After execution of step S56, step S57 is executed, and it is determined whether or not all the games of the day have been completed. A day's game is any game that is run today. When it is determined that all the games of the day have been completed (S57; YES), the image creation / display control means 111 creates and displays the results of today's game (S49). If it is not determined that the game of the day has been completed (S57; NO), step S49 is not executed, that is, the result of today is not displayed, and step S50 is executed.
[0103]
  In step S50, the game progress processing means 117 determines whether or not all the games in the pennant race have been completed. If it is not determined that all the games in the pennant race have been completed (S50; NO), the process returns to step S41, and steps S41 to S50 are performed until it is determined in the process of step S50 that all the games in the pennant trace have been completed. Only the processes up to can be executed.
[0104]
  When it is determined that all the games in the pennant race have been completed (S50; YES), the experience value D is added (S51). The user operates the operation unit 102 so that the ability updating means 116 purchases various abilities according to the experience value D (S52). The various abilities include, for example, meat, power, running power, shoulder power, defensive power, ball speed, control, stamina, and the like. In the purchasing method of various abilities, for example, the image creation / display control means 111 displays icons indicating various abilities, and the user uses the operation unit 102 to select an icon corresponding to the capability desired to purchase, thereby updating the capability. The means 116 can be operated to purchase various abilities. When various abilities are purchased, the capability update means 116 decreases the experience value D and updates the capability parameter B to reflect the purchased capability. Thereafter, the capability updating unit 116 registers the updated capability parameter B in the storage unit 104 (S53).
[0105]
  Next, step S54 is executed, and the capability conversion restoration means 119 determines whether or not a password conversion command is accepted by the operation unit 102. The password conversion command is a command that the user inputs to the operation unit 102 in order to convert a specific player's ability into a password. If it is determined that a password conversion command has been accepted (S54; YES), the capability conversion restoration means 119 converts the updated capability parameter B registered in the storage unit 104 into a password (S55). The password is represented by, for example, a plurality of character strings that can be restored to the capability parameter B and the information cannot be directly discriminated.
[0106]
  When the user inputs a password through the operation unit 102, the updated ability parameter B is restored by the ability conversion restoration means 119. Note that it is preferable that a password-converted player cannot be registered again as a specific player in step S3 of the initial setting process shown in FIG. If the user wants to train the specific player, the ability parameter B is converted into a password, and then, if the user thinks that the particular player's training situation is unfavorable, the user password is converted from the ability parameter B. This is because it can be prevented.
[0107]
  If it is not determined that the password conversion command has been accepted (S54; NO), step S55 is not executed, and the pennant process ends. Even if the ability parameter B is not converted into the password, the player selected as the specific player in the normal game event is entered and the action control means 118 causes the player to perform an action based on the updated ability parameter B. You may be able to do that.
[0108]
  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the game process in the pennant process shown in FIG. First, the game progress processing means 117 determines whether or not the game process is executed when the “progress one day” command is input (S60). As the determination method, for example, when it is determined that a “progress one day” command is input (S42, see FIG. 6), the game progress processing means 117 sets a flag to advance one day, and the flag to advance one day in step S60. If it is detected that the game is standing, there is a method of determining that the game process is executed when the “progress one day” command is input.
[0109]
  If it is determined that the game process is being executed when the “Proceed 1 day” command is input (S60; YES), the game progress processing means 117 proceeds through an automatic process until the game ends, and an image is created. The display control means 111 creates and displays an image showing the game result (S61). Here, the operation of the specific player is also automatically performed by the game progress processing means 117. After the end of step S61, the game result is stored in the storage unit 104, and the game process ends (S76). Such a game process is executed in steps S47 and S48 shown in FIG.
[0110]
  Next, the game progress processing means 117 determines whether or not the game of the own team is executed (S62). If it is not determined that the game of the own team will be executed (S62; NO), in step S61, the game progress processing means 117 proceeds by automatic processing until the game ends, and the image creation display control means 111 determines the game result. Create and display an image showing. When it is determined that the game of the own team is executed (S62; YES), the participation control means 114 determines whether or not there is a possibility that the specific player will participate (S63). When it is not determined that there is a possibility that a specific player will participate (S63; NO), in step S61, the game progress processing means 117 is automatically processed until the game ends, and the image creation / display control means 111 Create and display an image showing the results. The possibility that a specific player will participate is determined based on the ability parameter B. For example, if there is a parameter indicating stamina in the ability parameter B, the participation of the specific player is limited when the participation control means 114 determines that the parameter is equal to or less than a predetermined value. In step S63, the specific player May not be able to participate.
[0111]
  When it is determined that there is a possibility that the specific player will participate (S63; YES), the participation control means 114 determines whether or not the specific player is a pitcher (S64). If it is not determined that the specific player is a pitcher (S64; NO), step S65 is executed. Step S65 will be described in detail later. When it is determined that the specific player is a pitcher (S64; YES), the participation control means 114 determines whether or not the specific player throws (S66). If it is not determined that the participating player will throw (S66; NO), the game progress processing means 117 advances the game by automatic processing, and the image creation / display control means 111 simply displays the game (S67).
[0112]
  Thereafter, the participation control means 114 determines whether or not the combination of the pitcher and the batter has changed (S68). That is, it is determined whether at least one of the pitcher who is pitching and the batter standing in the batter box has changed to another player. If it is not determined that the combination of the pitcher and the batter has changed (S68; NO), the process returns to step S67, and the process of step S67 is repeated until it is determined that the combination of the pitcher and the batter has changed. When it is determined that the combination of the pitcher and the batter has changed (S68; YES), the process of step S73 is executed. Details will be described later.
[0113]
  If it is determined that the participating player will pitch (S66; YES), the participation control means 114 determines whether or not the specific player has thrown for the first time in the game process (S69). When it is determined that the pitch of the specific player is the first time in the game process (S69; YES), the image creation / display control means 111 displays a participation notification image (S70). Thereafter, the process of step S71 is executed. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the pitch of the specific player is the first time in the game process (S69; NO), the process of step S70 is not executed, that is, the participation notice image is not displayed, step S71. Is executed.
[0114]
  In step S71, a game process is performed by a user operation. That is, the game progresses when the user operates the specific player, and the operation of the players other than the specific player is automatically performed by the game progress processing means 117. Here, the motion of the specific player is controlled by the motion control means 118 according to the ability parameter B stored in the storage unit 104.
