[Processing flow and explanation of player president character selection system in baseball game]
Next, specific contents of the player president character selection system in the baseball game will be described. Further, a flow related to the player president character selection system shown in FIG. 8 will be described at the same time.

  First, when the power of the game machine 1 is turned on and the game machine 1 is activated, the CPU 7 executes a process for setting the probability count parameter i to zero (i = 0). Then, the CPU 7 executes a process of incrementing the probability count parameter i by 1 every predetermined time, for example, 1/60 seconds (S1). This process is performed until a command for ending the game program is issued from the CPU 7.

  Subsequently, the baseball game program is loaded from the recording medium 10 into the RAM 12 and stored. At this time, various basic data necessary for executing the baseball game are also loaded and stored in the RAM 12. When the baseball game program is executed by the CPU 7 based on various basic data, a mode selection screen for selecting various modes is displayed on the television monitor 20, as shown in FIG. On the mode selection screen, a battle mode in which the player selects a desired team and plays only one game, a pennant mode in which the player selects a desired team from 12 teams and fights through the pennant race, and the player has a story A mode selection screen for selecting various modes such as a success mode in which players are brought up along with is displayed on the television monitor 20. Here, when the player selects a desired mode by operating the controller 17 (S2), a game program corresponding to the selected mode is executed. Hereinafter, the case where the pennant mode is selected will be described as an example.

  When the pennant mode is selected, a game program for the pennant mode is executed. Then, first, a team name item corresponding to a team name of 12 teams that can be selected by the controller 17 is displayed on the television monitor 20 using image data corresponding to the team name item (not shown). When the team name item corresponding to the team desired by the player is selected from among the 12 team name items by operating the controller 17 (S3), the team corresponding to the selected team name item is selected. The player character to which the player belongs is recognized by the CPU 7 (S4). For example, when the team name item is selected by the controller 17, as shown in FIG. 4, the identification data IDt (i) for the selected team is recognized by the CPU 7. Then, the player character identification data IDsi (j) corresponding to the team identification data IDt (i) is recognized by the CPU 7. Here, since there are 12 teams, a natural number from “1” to “12” is assigned to the variable i of the team identification data IDt (i). In this way, identification data IDt (1) to IDt (12) for teams of 12 teams from team A to team L are defined. Here, since the number of player characters belonging to one team is 25, a natural number from “1” to “25” is assigned to the variable j of the identification data IDsi (j) for the player character. . And the character i (identification name IDs “i”) of the identification name of the identification data IDsi (j) for the player character is “1” for the A team, “2” for the B team,. In the case of the L team, the player character of which team can be identified by performing “12”.

  For example, when the team name item of team A is selected by the controller 17, the CPU 7 recognizes the identification data IDt (1) for the selected team A. Then, the player character identification data IDs1 (j) corresponding to the team A identification data IDt (1) is recognized by the CPU 7. Similarly, when any one of a plurality of team name items from the team name item of the B team to the team name item of the L team is selected by the controller 17, the identification data IDt (i) for the selected team is selected. The CPU 7 recognizes the identification data IDsi (j) for the player character corresponding to. In this way, the player character belonging to the team corresponding to the selected team name item is recognized by the CPU 7.

  The correspondence table showing the correspondence between the team identification data IDt (i) and the player character IDsi (j) belonging to the team is the basic data loaded from the recording medium 10 to the RAM 12 when the game program is loaded. Included in Based on this correspondence table, the CPU 7 recognizes player character identification data IDsi (j) corresponding to the selected team identification data IDt (i). Thus, by making the CPU 7 recognize the player character identification data IDsi (j), the CPU 7 can recognize a plurality of player characters that can participate in a plurality of game events in the pennant mode.

  Subsequently, when a plurality of identification data IDsi (j) for player characters are recognized by the CPU 7, past performance point data for defining representative level data DL (j) indicating the representative level of each player character, The CPU 7 recognizes performance point data JP (j) consisting of the performance point data of the year and professional year point data (S5). Here, natural numbers from “1” to “25” are assigned to the variable j of the representative level data DL (j) and the performance point data JP (j). And the achievement point data JP (j) corresponding to each player character is calculated by making a control part perform the process which adds each past achievement point data, the achievement point data of the year, and professional years point data. The CPU 7 recognizes the calculated performance point data JP (j).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, based on the first correspondence table indicating the correspondence between the performance point data JP (j) and the representative level data DL (j), the representative level corresponding to the performance point data JP (j). The data DL (j) is recognized by the CPU 7 (S6). For example, when the value of the performance point data JP (2) of the B player character of team A is “330”, the value “330” is in the range of “301 to 400” in FIG. The value of the representative level data DL (2) is “4”. Then, the value “4” is recognized by the CPU 7 as the representative level data DL (2) of the B player character. The first correspondence table used here is included in the basic data loaded from the recording medium 10 to the RAM 12 when the game program is loaded. The value of the performance point data JP (j) of the player character of this season used here is a value as an initial condition, and the above basic data loaded from the recording medium 10 to the RAM 12 when the game program is loaded. Included. As the value of the achievement point data JP (j) of the player character for the next season, the value of the changed achievement point data JP (j), which will be described later, is used.

  Subsequently, a player president selection list for selecting a player president character from a plurality of player characters is generated by the CPU 7 based on the representative level data DL (j) of each player character (S7). For example, first, based on the value of the representative level data DL (j) of each player character of the A team recognized by the CPU 7, the values of the representative level data DL (j) are increased in descending order from DL (1) to DL (25 The CPU 7 executes a process for sorting the representative level data DL (j) up to (). Next, upper representative level data DL (j) having a large value, for example, upper five representative level data DL (j) having a large value, such as DL (2), DL (11), DL (12), DL (1 ), DL (3) is recognized by the CPU 7. Finally, the player character identification data IDs1 corresponding to each of the top five representative level data DL (2), DL (11), DL (12), DL (1), DL (3) recognized by the CPU 7 is displayed. 2) IDs1 (11), IDs1 (12), IDs1 (1), IDs1 (3) are recognized by the CPU 7. That is, the identification data IDs1 (2), IDs1 (11), IDs1 (5) for five player characters via the representative level data DL (2), DL (11), DL (12), DL (1), DL (3), IDs1 (12), IDs1 (1), and IDs1 (3) are recognized by the CPU 7. Thus, the player president selection list is generated by the CPU 7 based on the five identification data IDs1 (2), IDs1 (11), IDs1 (12), IDs1 (1), and IDs1 (3) for the player character. The Then, as shown in FIG. 6, for the player character item corresponding to each of the five identification data IDs1 (2), IDs1 (11), IDs1 (12), IDs1 (1), IDs1 (3) for the player character. Using the image data, a player president selection list 70 including five items corresponding to five player characters is displayed on the television monitor 20 (S8). In the player character item of the player president selection list 70, a number of symbols corresponding to the value of the representative level data DL (j), for example, an asterisk symbol is displayed. For example, as shown above, the value of the representative level data DL (2) of the B player character of the A team is recognized by the CPU 7 as a value of “4”. An asterisk symbol is displayed. FIG. 6 shows a player president selection list 70 for team A displayed on the television monitor 20 when the player selects team A, for example.

  Subsequently, when the player president selection list 70 is displayed on the television monitor 20, for example, when the up key 17U or the down key 17D of the controller 17 is operated, the items in the player president selection list 70 are set to the selected state. A selection signal for this is issued from the CPU 7. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes the selected item positioned in the key operation direction. At this time, the side of the item in the selected player president selection list 70, that is, the right side, is affected when the player character of the item in the selected state is selected as the player president character, as shown in FIG. Character information for notifying the player character is displayed. In this state, when the second button 17b of the controller 17 is pressed, the player character corresponding to the selected item is selected as the player chairman character (S9). Specifically, when the second button 17 b of the controller 17 is pressed, a selection signal for selecting an item in the player president selection list 70 is issued from the CPU 7. Then, the identification data IDsi (j) of the player character corresponding to the selected item is recognized by the CPU 7 as the identification data IDk for the player president character. Then, based on the second correspondence table indicating the correspondence between the identification data IDk for the player president character and the identification data IDsi (j) of the player character (hereinafter referred to as related player character) related to the identification data IDk for the player president character. Thus, the identification data IDsi (j) of the related player character is recognized by the CPU 7 (S10).

  For example, in FIG. 6, when the second player button 17b of the controller 17 is pressed when the item of the B player character of the team A is in the selected state, the identification data IDs1 (2) of the B player character is used for the player president character. Is recognized by the CPU 7 as the identification data IDk. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, on the basis of the second correspondence table showing the correspondence between the identification data IDk (IDs1 (2)) for the player president character and the identification data IDs1 (j) of the related player character, the related player Character identification data IDs1 (j), for example, IDs1 (1), IDs1 (7), IDs1 (8), IDs1 (12), IDs1 (20), IDs1 (21) is recognized by the CPU 7. Although FIG. 7 shows the second correspondence table when the B player character is selected as the player chairman character, a second correspondence table for each player character other than the B player character is also prepared, and other player characters When selected as the player president character, the CPU 7 recognizes the identification data of the related player character based on the second correspondence table for the selected player character. The second correspondence table used here is included in the basic data loaded from the recording medium 10 to the RAM 12 when the game program is loaded.

  In the following, for example, the selected player president character (B player character of Team A) is the pitcher character, and the related player character is the pitcher character (identification data: IDs1 (1), IDs1 (7), IDs1 (8), The case of IDs1 (12), IDs1 (20), IDs1 (21)) will be described as an example (see FIG. 6).

  Subsequently, when the CPU 7 recognizes the identification data IDsi (j) of the related player character, for example, IDs1 (j: j = 1, 7, 8, 12, 20, 21), the capability data indicating the capability of the related player character is obtained. The ability point data for defining, for example, the ball speed point data NP (j) is recognized by the CPU 7 (S11). For example, when the related player character is an A player character, the CPU 7 recognizes the value “300” as the value of the ball speed point data NP (1) corresponding to the identification data IDs1 (1) of the related player character. Then, the ball speed point data NP (7), NP (8) corresponding to the identification data IDs1 (7), IDs1 (8), IDs1 (12), IDs1 (20), IDs1 (21) of other related player characters. , NP (12), NP (20), NP (21) are recognized by the CPU 7 in the same manner. The value of the ball speed point data NP (j) for this season used here is a value as an initial condition, and is included in the basic data loaded from the recording medium 10 to the RAM 12 when the game program is loaded. ing. As the value of the ball speed point data NP (j) for the next season, the value of the changed ball speed point data NP (j) described later is used.

  Next, when a pennant start command for starting a pennant trace is issued from the CPU 7, an event program corresponding to each of a plurality of events, for example, a plurality of game events, is executed by the CPU 7 (S12). When each game event ends, that is, when an event end command indicating the end of each game event is issued from the CPU 7, the activity data indicating the activity level of the related player character in each game event is recognized by the CPU 7. Is done.

  Here, the setting method of activity level data is demonstrated. For example, when a pitcher character (A player character), which is a related player character, at a game event climbs and becomes a winning pitcher, the activity data of the related player character that has become the winning pitcher is a predetermined value, for example, “30”. The CPU 7 executes a process for converting the value. In addition, when a pitcher character that is a related player character at a match event climbs and becomes a winning pitcher after a complete pitch, the activity data of the related player character that has become the winning pitcher is set to a predetermined value, for example, “40”. Processing is executed by the CPU 7. On the other hand, when the pitcher character that is the related player character does not climb in the game event, the CPU 7 executes processing for setting the activity data of the related player character to a predetermined value, for example, “0”. Thus, the activity level of the related player character is evaluated based on the value of the activity level data. The value of the activity level data of the related player character is defined as a predetermined value according to the result of the related player character who played an active role in the game event. Predetermined values corresponding to the result of the related player character who played an active part in this game event, for example, “0”, “30”, and “40” are defined in advance in the game program.

  Subsequently, according to the value of the activity level data of the related player character in each game event, the ability point data of the related player character, for example, point data NP (j) for ball speed is changed by the CPU 7 (S13). For example, by causing the CPU 7 to execute a process of adding the value of the activity level data of the related player character in the game event to the ball speed point data NP (j) of the related player character, the ball speed point data NP (j of the related player character ) Is changed by the CPU 7. Specifically, when the related player character (A player character) becomes a winning pitcher, the value “30” of the activity level data of the related player character is used as the value of the point data NP (1) for the ball speed of the related player character. A process of adding to “300” is executed by the CPU 7 and the ball speed point data NP (1) of the related player character is changed to a value of “330”. Similarly, when the related player character is a complete pitcher and becomes a winning pitcher, the value “40” of the activity level data of the related player character is added to the value of the point data NP (1) for the related player character, for example, “300”. The CPU 7 executes the processing to change the ball speed point data NP (1) of the related player character to a value “340”.

  On the other hand, when the related player character does not climb, a process of adding the value “0” of the activity level data of the related player character to the value of the point data NP (1) for the related player character, for example, “300”. It is executed by the CPU 7. In this case, the ball speed point data NP (1) of the related player character after the addition process has a value of “300”, and the value of the ball speed point data NP (1) of the related player character before and after the addition process is changed. Not. However, by causing the CPU 7 to execute a process of adding the value “0” to the value “300” of the related player character's ball speed point data NP (1), the related player character's ball speed point data NP (1). The same value “300” is overwritten on the value “300”. In this way, the phrase “the ball speed point data of the related player character is changed” is used, including the case where the ball speed point data NP (1) is rewritten by the overwriting process.

  Subsequently, by causing the CPU 7 to perform a calculation by multiplying the changed ball speed point data NP (j) by the influence coefficient data for reflecting the influence of the player chairman character on the related player character, the influence of the player chairman character is increased. The reflected ball speed point data NP (j) is calculated by the CPU 7. For example, by causing the CPU 7 to perform a calculation by multiplying the changed ball speed point data NP (j) by influence coefficient data for reflecting the influence of the player president character, for example, a constant of “1.6”, the player president character The ability point data reflecting the influence of is calculated by the CPU 7 (S14).

  Specifically, when the ball speed point data NP (1) of the changed related player character has a value of “330”, by causing the CPU 7 to execute a calculation of multiplying “330” by “1.6”, The CPU 7 calculates the value of the ball speed point data NP (1) reflecting the influence of the player president character, for example, the value “528 (= 330 × 1.6)”. Similarly, when the ball speed point data NP (1) of the changed related player character has a value of “340”, the player chairman is caused by causing the CPU 7 to perform a calculation of multiplying “340” by “1.6”. The CPU 7 calculates the value of the ball speed point data NP (1) reflecting the influence of the character, for example, the value “544 (= 340 × 1.6)”. Similarly, when the ball speed point data NP (1) of the changed related player character has a value of “300”, the player's chairman is caused by causing the CPU 7 to execute a calculation of multiplying “300” by “1.6”. The CPU 7 calculates the value of the ball speed point data NP (1) in which the influence of the character is reflected, for example, a value of “480 (= 300 × 1.6)”. Here, an example in which the value of the influence coefficient data is “1.6” is shown, but the value of the influence coefficient data is not necessarily “1.6”, and is set to an arbitrary value. can do.

  Subsequently, the CPU 7 executes a calculation for dividing the calculated ball speed point data NP (j) of the related player character by the value of the reference data stored in the RAM 12, for example, “1800”, and the calculation result is multiplied by 100. By causing the CPU 7 to execute, the probability data is calculated by the CPU 7 (S15). Then, the calculated probability data is recognized by the CPU 7. For example, when the calculated ball speed point data NP (1) of the related player character has a value of “528”, the CPU 7 executes a calculation for dividing “528” by “1800”, and the result of this division (528 / 1800) is multiplied by 100, and the CPU 7 executes the calculation. The value thus obtained (“29 (%) (≈528 / 1800 * 100)”) is recognized by the CPU 7 as the value of the probability data. Similarly, when the calculated ball speed point data NP (1) of the related player character has a value of “544”, “30 (%) (≈544 / 1800 * 100)” is the CPU 7 as the probability data value. Recognized. Similarly, when the calculated ball speed point data NP (1) of the related player character has a value of “480”, “27 (%) (≈480 / 1800 * 100)” is the CPU 7 as the value of the probability data. Recognized.

  Subsequently, the value of the probability count parameter i corresponding to the time from the time when the game machine 1 is turned on to the time when the probability calculation process is executed by the control unit, that is, the count data and the lottery probability are shown. Based on the probability data, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the lottery is won (S16). For example, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the last two digits of the probability count parameter i are less than or equal to the probability data value. When the CPU 7 determines that the last two digits of the probability count parameter i are less than or equal to the probability data value (Yes in S16), the CPU 7 determines that the lottery has been won, and the player character's ability Data such as ball speed data KS (j) is changed by the CPU 7. Here, when the CPU 7 determines that the last two digits of the probability count parameter i is less than or equal to the probability data, a predetermined value is added to the value of the player character's ball speed data KS (j). The CPU 7 executes the process to perform, and the player character's ball speed data KS (j) is changed by the CPU 7 (S17). Then, the changed player character's ball speed data KS (j) is recognized by the CPU 7. On the other hand, if the CPU 7 determines that the last two digits of the probability count parameter i is greater than the probability data value (No in S16), the CPU 7 determines that the lottery has not been won, and the player character The ability data such as the ball speed data KS (j) is not changed by the CPU 7. In this case, step 17 (S17) is skipped and step 18 (S18) described later is executed.

  Specifically, when the value of the probability data of the related player character (A player character) is “29 (%)” and the value of the probability count parameter i is “1228”, the probability count parameter i of The CPU 7 determines whether or not the last two digits of the value, ie, “28” is equal to or less than the value of the probability data, ie, “29”. In this case, since the last two digits of the probability count parameter i are less than or equal to the probability data, the value of the related player character's ball speed data KS (1), for example, a value of “130 (km)” In addition, a process of adding a predetermined value, for example, a value of “1.0 (km)” is executed by the CPU 7, and the player character's ball speed data KS (1) is changed by the CPU 7. Then, the changed player character's ball speed data KS (1) is recognized by the CPU 7. On the other hand, when the value of the probability data is “29 (%)” and the value of the probability count parameter i is “1240”, the last two digits of the value of the probability count parameter i, that is, “40” The CPU 7 determines whether or not the value is the value of the probability data, that is, “29” or less. In this case, since the last two digits of the probability count parameter i are larger than the probability data, the CPU 7 does not change the ball speed data KS (1) of the related player character.

  Subsequently, the CPU 7 determines whether or not the pennant trace is completed (S18). For example, the CPU 7 determines whether or not a pennant end instruction indicating the end of the pennant trace has been issued. If it is determined by the CPU 7 that a pennant end command has been issued (Yes in S18), the representative level data DL (j) of the related player character that has participated in the match event is based on the results of all the match events. (S19). Then, the changed representative level data DL (j) is recognized by the CPU 7. For example, based on the results of all of the plurality of game events, the related player character achievement point data JP (j) is changed to the CPU 7, and the representative level data DL (j) corresponding to the changed achievement point data JP (j). Is recognized by the CPU 7. Specifically, based on the results of all of the plurality of game events, a process of adding the past performance point data, the performance point data of the year, and the professional year point data of the related player character at the end of the season. By causing the control unit to execute, the performance point data JP (j) of the related player character at the end of this season is calculated and changed. Then, the CPU 7 recognizes representative level data DL (j) corresponding to the changed result point data JP (j). On the other hand, when the pennant end instruction has not been issued (No in S18), the processing after Step 12 (S12) is re-executed.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the value of each point data is recognized by the CPU 7 based on the results of all the plurality of game events. And the performance point data JP (j) of the related player character at the end of this season is calculated by causing the control unit to execute a process of adding the values of the respective point data. Then, the calculated achievement point data JP (j) is overwritten and changed to the achievement point data JP (j) of the related player character at the start of the season. Then, the representative level data DL (j) corresponding to the changed result point data JP (j) is recognized by the CPU 7 based on the first correspondence table. Then, the CPU 7 executes a process of storing the changed result point data JP (j) in the RAM 12 as new result point data JP (j), and the representative level data DL corresponding to the new result point data JP (j). The CPU 7 executes a process of storing (j) in the RAM 12 as new representative level data DL (j) (S20). The new representative level data DL (j) is used as representative level data DL (j) for the next fiscal year.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not an instruction to end the pennant mode is issued from the CPU 7. For example, when a mode end signal for ending the pennant mode is issued from the controller 17, it is determined whether or not an instruction for ending the pennant mode is issued from the CPU 7 (S21). If it is determined that an instruction to end the pennant mode has been issued from the CPU 7 (Yes in S21), an instruction to end the execution of the program corresponding to the pennant mode is issued from the CPU 7. On the other hand, when the instruction to end the pennant mode has not been issued from the CPU 7 (No in S21), Step 5 (S5) is executed.

  Below, the evaluation method of performance point data JP (j) is demonstrated. The past performance point data is data obtained by numerically evaluating the past performance of the player character. The results evaluated as the past performance point data include, for example, 2000 hits, 200 wins, 250 saves, and the like. The past performance point data of the player character who achieved 2000 hits, 200 wins, 250 saves, etc. has a value of “200”. In this way, the player character who achieved the achievement is specially evaluated based on past performance point data. Moreover, the performance point data of the year is data obtained by numerically evaluating the performance of the player character this season. For example, the performance point data of the player character who has won the top batter, the player character who has won the home run king, the player character who has won the top runner, the player character who has won the most wins, and the player character who has given the most saves is “100 Is the value. Further, the score data of a player character whose batting rate exceeds 30% and a player character whose home run exceeds 10 runs has a value of “50”. Furthermore, professional years point data is data which evaluated the professional enrollment years of the player character numerically. For example, the professional years point data of a player character whose professional enrollment period is 10 years has a numerical value of “100 (pro enrollment years × 10)”. Further, the professional years point data of a player character whose professional enrollment age is 25 is a numerical value of “250 (pro enrollment years × 10)”. Thus, the more professional player characters are, the greater the value of professional years point data.
