For example, sports games (games based on soccer, baseball, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), racing games, fighting games, combat games, card games, role-playing games, simulation games, adventure games, or training games. You can play a variety of games regardless of game format or genre. Note that the game may be executed by the game terminal 30 performing data communication with the server 10 or another game terminal 30, or may be executed by the game terminal 30 alone.

Below, a soccer game based on soccer will be described as an example of a game executed by the game system 1. This soccer game has a training part and a match part.

The training part is a part in which the user trains a player character (a game character representing a soccer player) and creates his or her own original player character. For example, in the training part, a scenario is provided in which the main character (player character to be trained) becomes a professional soccer player. For example, in this scenario, the main character belongs to a high school soccer club, practices with his teammates, participates in tournaments, and aims to be scouted as a professional soccer player.

In the training part, the scenario progresses as the user repeatedly selects actions (practice, rest, play, etc.) to be performed by the main character. Furthermore, in this scenario, various events occur, such as events that are advantageous for developing the main character.

The events that occur in the scenario are not fixed, but change depending on one or more event characters (game characters for event occurrence) incorporated in the event deck. One or more event characters are incorporated into the event deck. In the scenario, an event character incorporated in the event deck appears as a teammate or the like, and an event corresponding to the event character occurs. Therefore, by selecting the event character to be incorporated into the event deck, the user can select events that may occur in the scenario, and as a result, the user can select the direction of development of the main character.

In the training part, experience points are given to the main character based on actions selected by the user and events that occur. The user can use experience points to improve the abilities of the main character. For example, the basic abilities of the main character can be increased or the main character can acquire special abilities.

The main character character whose training has been completed is registered as the user's original player character. After the training part ends, another main character can be trained (that is, another original player character can be created) by starting the training part again from the beginning.

FIG. 2 shows an example of an original player information image displayed on the display unit 35. The original player information image G10 shows information on the original player character created in the training part.

As shown in FIG. 2, the original player information image G10 includes parts P11 to P15 indicating basic information of the original player character. Part P11 is an image of the original player character. Parts P12 to P15 indicate the original player character's name, overall strength, favorite position, and dominant foot, respectively.

The overall strength is determined based on the ability parameters of the original player character. The higher the overall ability, the higher the ability. For example, comprehensive strength is expressed in five stages: "S, A, B, C, and D." In this case, "S" indicates that the overall strength is very high, and "D" indicates that the overall strength is very low.

Good positions include CF (center forward), ST (second top), LWG (left wing), RWG (right wing), OMF (offensive midfielder), LMF (left side midfielder), and RMF (right side). midfielder), DMF (defensive midfielder), LSB (left back), RSB (right back), CB (center back), GK (goal keeper), etc.

The original player information image G10 also includes a part P16 indicating the basic ability parameters of the original player character. The basic ability parameter is a parameter indicating the level of basic ability regarding soccer. In the example shown in FIG. 2, an offense parameter, a defense parameter, a kick parameter, a speed parameter, a technique parameter, and a stamina parameter are shown in part P16. In the example shown in FIG. 2, numerical values and alphabets are displayed on part P16. Among these, the numerical value indicates the value of the basic ability parameter. The higher this number is, the higher the ability is.Also, the alphabet indicates the level (stage) of the basic ability. For example, "S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G" is displayed in part P16. "S" indicates very high ability, and "G" indicates very low ability.

The offensive parameter indicates the level of attack ability of the original player character. The defense parameter indicates the level of defensive ability of the original player character. The kick parameter indicates the strength of the kicking power of the original player character. The speed parameter indicates the foot speed of the original player character. The technique parameter indicates the ball control skill of the original player character (for example, the accuracy of the pass, etc.). The stamina parameter indicates the level of stamina of the original player character.

Furthermore, the original player information image G10 includes a part P17 that indicates the special ability acquired by the original player character. In the example shown in Figure 2, the special abilities include "Behind ◎", "Physical ○", "Dribbler ○", "Trap ○", "Aerial combat ◎", "Keeping power ◎", "Pass ○", and "Shooting “Power 〇” and “Decision power ◎” are shown in part P17. Note that "◎" indicates that the ability is higher than "〇".

If you have learned "Behind ◎", your basic abilities will greatly increase when your opponent is in the lead. If you have acquired "Physical ○", you will be less likely to lose your balance during contact play. If you have mastered "Dribbler ○", "Trap ○", "Pass ○", or "Shoot ○", you will be more likely to succeed in dribbling, trapping, passing, or shooting. If you have mastered "Aerial Combat ◎", it will be easier to win heading contests. If you have acquired "Keeping Power ◎", you will be less likely to have the ball stolen by your opponent's player character while keeping the ball. If you have acquired "Decision-making Power◎", your basic ability will greatly increase when you have a chance to score.

The match part is a part in which the original player character created in the training part is allowed to participate in the match, and the aim is to receive a high rating in the match.

For example, in the match part, a match is played between the selected team and the opposing team. The user selects one of the original player characters created by the user and allows the original player character to participate in the selection team. Furthermore, in the game played in the match part, the user's original player character is evaluated by a fictitious reporter character, and the evaluation results are presented to the user. Note that hereinafter, a match between a selected team and an opponent team that is played in a soccer game (match part) will be simply referred to as a "match."

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of the flow of the match part. As shown in FIG. 3, the match part includes multiple phases PH100 to PH110.

In phase PH100, a reporter character in charge of evaluating the user's original player character is determined by the game system 1 (game terminal 30 or server 10), and the determined reporter character in charge is presented to the user.

In this soccer game, reporter characters from a plurality of fictional newspapers are prepared as candidates for the reporter character in charge of evaluating the user's original player character. FIG. 4 shows an example of newspaper data D101 showing a list of the plurality of newspapers. As shown in FIG. 4, the newspaper data D101 includes "newspaper ID", "newspaper name", and "evaluation criteria" fields. The "newspaper ID" field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying a newspaper. The "newspaper name" field indicates the name of the newspaper. The "evaluation criteria" field indicates the characteristics of the evaluation criteria used when the newspaper reporter character evaluates the user's original player character. As shown in FIG. 4, the evaluation criteria differ depending on the newspaper. In other words, what is emphasized in evaluations differs from newspaper to newspaper. For example, some newspapers (N3) place emphasis on attack, while others place emphasis on defense (N4).

In phase PH100, in order to determine a reporter character in charge of evaluating the user's original player character, three newspapers are randomly selected from among the plurality of fictional newspapers in the soccer game based on probability information, The reporter characters of the three newspapers are determined as reporter characters in charge (a first reporter character in charge, a second reporter character in charge, and a third reporter character in charge). Note that although the user can play the match part repeatedly, the user may be restricted so that the newspaper selected during the previous play is not selected consecutively.

FIG. 5 shows an example of an image of a list of reporters in charge displayed on the display unit 35. As shown in FIG. 5, the reporter list image G20 shows a list of the determined first to third reporter characters.

The reporter list image G20 includes three parts P21-1, P21-2, and P21-3 corresponding to the first to third reporter characters, respectively. Part P21-1 includes an image of the first reporter character, a newspaper name, and evaluation criteria. Similarly, part P21-2 includes an image of the second reporter character, a newspaper name, and evaluation criteria, and part P21-3 includes an image of the third reporter character, a newspaper name, and evaluation criteria.

The reporter list image G20 also includes a part P22 for proceeding to the next phase PH102. The user selects part P22 after grasping the information on the reporter character in charge.

In phase PH102, one of the plurality of original player characters created by the user (i.e., the plurality of player characters owned by the user) is selected by the user as a player character to be added to the selection team members. . Note that in the following, for convenience, selecting a player character to be added as a member of a selected team will be referred to as "selecting a selected member."

FIG. 6 shows an example of a selected member selection image displayed on the display unit 35. The selected member selection image G30 shown in FIG. 6 is an image for selecting selected members from among a plurality of original player characters created by the user.

As shown in FIG. 6, the selection member selection image G30 shows a list of a plurality of original player characters created by the user. In the example shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of parts P31-1, P31-2, P31-3, P31-4, P31-5, P31-6, P31-7 respectively correspond to a plurality of original player characters created by the user. , P31-8 are displayed. Each of these parts P31-1 to P31-8 shows the image, name, favorite position, and overall strength of the original player character.

In addition, if the user selects any of the original player characters as a selected member, the user will not be able to select the original player character for a predetermined limited period (for example, until the user finishes playing the match part 5 times). Cannot be selected as a member again. In this regard, in the example shown in FIG. 6, "5 games off" is written in part P31-4. This indicates that the original player character corresponding to part P31-4 cannot be selected until the user finishes playing the match part five times.

The user selects one of the original player characters by selecting one of parts P31-1 to P31-8. Note that FIG. 6 shows a state in which part P31-1 is selected. Therefore, the part P32 that serves as a cursor is associated with the part P31-1, and the part P31-1 is displayed separately.

Furthermore, the selected member selection image G30 includes a part P33 indicating information on the reporter character in charge determined in phase PH100. Part P33 includes parts P331-1, P331-2, P331-3, part P332, and part P333, which correspond to the first to third reporter characters, respectively. The user can select one of the first to third reporter characters by selecting one of parts P331-1, P331-2, and P331-3. FIG. 6 shows a state in which part P331-2 is selected. Therefore, the part P332 that serves as a cursor is associated with the part P331-2, and the part P331-2 is displayed separately. In this case, the evaluation criteria for the second reporter character corresponding to part P331-2 is displayed in part 333. The presence of part P33 allows the user to select an original player character that is likely to receive a high evaluation as a selected member while referring to the evaluation criteria for the reporter character in charge.

Furthermore, the selected member selection image G30 includes a part P34. When part P34 is selected, the original player character in the selected state is confirmed as a selected member, and the process advances to the next phase PH104.

In phase PH104, team information is displayed. FIG. 7 shows an example of a team information image displayed on the display section 35 before the game.

As shown in FIG. 7, the team information image G40 includes parts P41-1, P42-1, P43-1, P44-1 showing information on the selected team, and parts P41-2 and P42 showing information on the opponent team. -2, P43-2, and P44-2. The selection team is composed of the user's original player character selected at PH 102 and other player characters prepared in advance by a game developer or the like. Furthermore, the opponent team is composed of player characters prepared in advance by a game developer or the like.

Parts P41-1 and P41-2 indicate the overall strength of the selected team and the opponent team, respectively. The overall strength of the selected team is obtained based on the ability parameters of each player character of the selected team. The overall strength of the opposing team is also obtained in the same way. The higher the overall strength value, the stronger the team.

Parts P42-1 and P42-2 show the offensive ability of the selected team and the opponent team, respectively. The offensive ability of the selected team is obtained based on the attack-related ability parameters of each player character of the selected team. The offensive ability of the opposing team is also obtained in the same way. The higher the offensive ability value, the higher the team's offensive ability.

Parts P43-1 and P43-2 show the defensive ability of the selected team and the opponent team, respectively. The defensive ability of the selected team is acquired based on the defensive ability parameters of each player character of the selected team. The defense ability of the opposing team is also obtained in the same way. The higher the defensive ability value, the higher the team's defensive ability.

Parts P44-1 and P44-2 show the speed ability of the selected team and the opponent team, respectively. The speed ability of the selected team is obtained based on the speed parameter of each player character of the selected team. The speed ability of the opposing team is also obtained in the same way. The higher the speed ability value, the higher the speed ability of the team.

Further, the team information image G40 includes a part P45. Part P45 is a part for starting a match. If part P45 is selected, the process advances to the next phase PH106 and the match starts. Although not shown in FIG. 3, before starting the match, changes in formation, selection of game items to be used during the match, etc. may be performed.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a match image displayed on the display unit 35 during the match. As shown in FIG. 8, the match image G50 includes a part P51 and a virtual space image G52, and shows the current situation of the match between the selected team and the opponent team in the soccer game (match part).

Part P51 shows the elapsed time from the start of the match and the scores of the selected team and the opponent team. The virtual space image G52 shows a virtual space in which player characters of the selected team and the opponent team and a ball are arranged, as seen from a viewpoint. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the player character PC1 of the selected team, the player character PC2 of the opponent team, the ball B, and the cursor C are displayed in the virtual space image G52. Cursor C indicates the user's original player character (that is, the original player character selected in phase PH102) among the player characters of the selected team. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the cursor C is displayed in association with the player character PC1, which indicates that the player character PC1 is the user's original player character.

During the match, the states of the player characters and the ball in the virtual space are updated at predetermined intervals, and the match image G50 is also updated accordingly. In FIG. 8, a virtual space image G52 (three-dimensional image) showing the current situation of the virtual space is displayed, but a two-dimensional image showing the current situation of the match may be displayed. Alternatively, the current status of the match may be displayed in text.

Further, the match executed in phase PH106 may proceed automatically or may proceed according to the user's operation. That is, the match may proceed automatically with both the user team and the opponent team being operated by a computer (Non Player Character [NPC]), or the match may proceed automatically with both the user team and the opponent team being operated by a computer (Non Player Character [NPC]). The progress and result of the match may be automatically determined by executing a simple simulation process based on both data.

Alternatively, the match may proceed by the user operating the selected team and the computer (NPC) operating the opponent team. In this case, the user may operate only the user's original player character from the selected team, or may operate only the user's original player character from the selected team who is holding the ball (or is located near the ball). Player characters) may also be operated. Further, in this case, the player characters that are not operated by the user among the player characters of the selected team are operated by the computer (NPC). Note that, in principle, the game may proceed automatically, and the user may perform operations only in specific situations (scenes of opportunity or situations of crisis for the selected team).

Furthermore, the match image G50 includes parts P53-1, P53-2, and P53-3. Parts P53-1, P53-2, and P53-3 correspond to the first to third reporter characters determined in phase PH100, respectively.

In the match image G50, when the user's original player character performs an action (play) that is evaluated favorably according to the evaluation criteria of the reporter character in charge, a part P54 (speech bubble) indicating this is displayed. For example, if the original player character performs an action that is rated favorably in the evaluation criteria of the reporter character in charge of newspaper N1, as shown in FIG. It is displayed in association with the corresponding part P53-1. For example, "Perfect", "Great", "Good", etc. are displayed as parts P54. "Perfect" indicates that an action with an extremely high evaluation was performed. “Great” indicates that a highly rated action was performed. "Good" indicates that a desirable action was performed. By referring to part P54, the user can grasp whether or not the original player character is performing desirable actions during the match.

Note that when the user's original player character performs an action (play) that results in a bad evaluation based on the evaluation criteria of the reporter character in charge, for example, “Bad” or the like may be displayed as the part P54.

Although part P54 is displayed as a speech bubble in FIG. 8, displaying it as a speech bubble is not essential, and as long as the part P54 is displayed in a manner that allows the user to recognize that it is related to part P53-1. Part P54 may be displayed in a manner other than a speech bubble.

When the match ends, the process advances to phase PH108, where the evaluation results of the first to third reporter characters for the user's original player character are determined. Specifically, the actions taken by the user's original player character during the match are scored based on different evaluation criteria for each reporter character in charge, and each of the first to third reporter characters The degree of contribution to the match is calculated as an evaluation point. The method for calculating this evaluation score will be described later.

When the evaluation results of the first to third reporter characters for the original player character have been determined, the process advances to phase PH110 and the match results are displayed. FIG. 9 shows an example of a match result image displayed on the display unit 35.

As shown in FIG. 9, the match result image G60 includes a part P61 and parts P62-1, P62-2, and P62-3. Part P61 shows the result of the match (win or loss).

Part P62-1 corresponds to the first reporter character. In the example shown in FIG. 9, part P62-1 corresponds to the reporter character in charge of newspaper N1, and shows the evaluation result of the reporter character in charge of newspaper N1 with respect to the user's original player character. Specifically, part P62-1 shows the evaluation score of the user's original player character scored by the reporter character in charge of newspaper N1, and the score points given to the user according to the evaluation score. The higher the evaluation score, the more score points are given to the user.

Similarly, part P62-2 corresponds to the second reporter character. In the example shown in FIG. 9, part P62-2 corresponds to the reporter character in charge of newspaper N2, and shows the evaluation results (evaluation points and score points) of the reporter character in charge of newspaper N2 with respect to the user's original player character.

Furthermore, part P62-3 corresponds to the third reporter character. In the example shown in FIG. 9, part P62-3 corresponds to the reporter character in charge of newspaper N3, and shows the evaluation results (evaluation points and score points) of the reporter character in charge of newspaper N3 with respect to the user's original player character.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 9, part P63 indicating the best player in the match is displayed in association with part P62-2 (the character of the reporter in charge of newspaper N2). This indicates that in the evaluation of the reporter character in charge of newspaper N2, the evaluation of the user's original player character was the highest among the player characters of both teams that participated in the game.

Moreover, the match result image G60 includes parts P64 and P65. Part P64 shows the score points earned by the user in the current match. The acquired score points are the total score points according to the evaluation points of each reporter character in charge. The higher the evaluation score, the more score points you will earn. Part P65 shows the cumulative total of score points that the user has acquired so far. When the cumulative score points reach a predetermined value, a reward is given to the user.

FIG. 10 shows an example of a reward acquisition image displayed on the display unit 35 when a reward is given to a user. As shown in FIG. 10, the reward acquisition image G70 shows the reward given to the user. In the example shown in FIG. 10, one game item M1, one M2 is given to the user as a reward. Note that the game items M1 and M2 may be game items that are useful for increasing the abilities of the main character in the training part, or may be game items that are useful for gaining high evaluations in the match part. Rewards are not limited to game items, but can include game characters (event characters, etc.), game points (in-game currency), and some rights related to the game (rights to play special games, rights to participate in special game tournaments, etc.) as rewards. It may be given to the user. The reward acquisition image G70 includes a part P71, and the user selects the part P71 when the user has finished checking the reward.

Here, a method of calculating evaluation points for each reporter character in charge of the original player character will be explained. 11 to 15 show examples of data for calculating evaluation points.

In a match, the number of times a plurality of items are performed regarding the original player character is counted in order to calculate the evaluation score. For example, (a) the number of times the original player character performed a specific action, (b) the number of times the original player character's specific action resulted in a specific result (e.g., success), or (c) the original player character The number of specific warnings or disciplinary actions given is counted.

FIG. 11 shows an example of item data showing a list of items to be counted. In the item data D1021 shown in FIG. 11, an item ID for uniquely identifying an item is associated with the item. Note that in the following, for example, an item whose item ID is "I1" will be described as "item I1" for convenience.

FIG. 11 shows items I1 to I10 as examples of items. Item I1 is the number of times the original player character touched the ball. Item I2 is the number of times the original player character shot from an area (short range) close to the opponent team's goal. Item I3 is the number of times the original player character shot from an area away from the opposing team's goal (middle range). Item I4 is the number of times the ball shot by the original player character moved toward the opponent team's goal. Item I5 is the number of points scored by the original player character.

Item I6 is the number of times the original player character assisted his teammate player character in scoring. Item I7 is the number of successful passes from the original player character to his teammate player character. Item I8 is the number of times the original player character has performed sliding. Item I9 is the number of times the original player character stole the ball from the opponent team's player character. Item I10 is the number of times the original player character received a yellow card.

The evaluation score for each reporter character in charge of the original player character is calculated using the following formulas (1) to (3). Here, it is assumed that N items I1 to IN (N: a natural number of 2 or more) are set.

First, points for each of items I1 to IN are calculated using the following formula (1).
Points = Number of times * Unit points * Newspaper weighting coefficient ... (1)

"*" in the above formula (1) is a multiplication operator. Moreover, the "unit point" in the above formula (1) is determined in advance. FIG. 12 shows an example of unit point data that defines unit points. In the unit point data D1022 shown in FIG. 12, unit points and upper limit points are determined for each item and each position. In other words, unit points and upper limit points are determined for each combination of item and position.

Unit points and upper limit points are set in consideration of the role expected of the position. For example, regarding item I7 (number of successful passes), the unit point (4) for position OMF is set higher than the unit point (2.5) for position CB. For example, regarding item I8 (sliding number), the unit point (1.5) for position CB is set higher than the unit point (0.5) for position OMF.

Further, the "newspaper weighting coefficient" in the above equation (1) is also determined in advance. FIG. 13 shows an example of newspaper weighting coefficient data that defines newspaper weighting coefficients. In the newspaper weighting coefficient data D1023 shown in FIG. 13, a newspaper weighting coefficient is determined for each item and for each newspaper. In other words, a newspaper weighting coefficient is determined for each combination of item and newspaper.

The newspaper weighting coefficient reflects the characteristics of the evaluation criteria for each newspaper. For example, the evaluation criteria for newspaper N2 emphasizes goals, so item I2 (number of shots from short range), item I3 (number of shots from mid-range), and item I4 (number of shots on target), The newspaper weighting coefficient for item I5 (score number) is set high. For example, since the evaluation criteria for newspaper N4 emphasizes defense, the newspaper weighting coefficients for item I8 (number of times of sliding) and item I9 (number of times of ball capture) are set high. For example, since the evaluation criteria for newspaper N5 emphasizes passes, the newspaper weighting coefficient for item I7 (number of passes) is set high.

For example, when calculating the evaluation score of the reporter character of newspaper N2 with respect to the original player character whose position is "CF", points for each of items I1 to IN are calculated as described below.

For example, the unit point for the combination of item I1 and position CF is "0.5", and the newspaper weighting coefficient for the combination of item I1 and newspaper N2 is "1". Therefore, for example, if the number of times of item I1 (number of times of ball touches) is 12, "6 points" is calculated as the point of item I1 by the above formula (1). However, the upper limit points for the combination of item I1 and position CF is "5 points", and the calculated points exceed the upper limit points, so the points for item I1 are "5 points".

Further, the unit point for the combination of item I2 and position CF is "2", and the newspaper weighting coefficient for the combination of item I2 and newspaper N2 is "3". Therefore, for example, if the number of times of item I2 (the number of shots from short range) is one, "6 points" is calculated as the point of item I2 by the above equation (1). The upper limit points for the combination of item I2 and position CF is "10 points", and the calculated points do not exceed the upper limit points, so the points for item I2 are "6 points". Points for each of items I3 to IN are calculated in the same way.

Next, the total points obtained by summing up the points for each of the items I1 to IN are calculated using the following formula (2).
Total points = points for item I1 + ... + points for item IN ... (2)

Then, the evaluation score is calculated using the following formula (3).
Evaluation points = (((total points + initial points) / standard points) * 8) + win/loss points ... (3)

The "initial point" and "reference point" in the above equation (3) are determined in advance. FIG. 14 shows an example of initial/reference point data in which initial points and reference points are defined. In the initial/reference point data D1024 shown in FIG. 14, an initial point and a reference point are determined for each position. For example, regarding items I1 to I7, the number of times of items I1 to I7 for positions CB and GK tends to be lower than for positions CF and OMF, and as a result, the evaluation scores for positions CB and GK tend to be lower. be. In order to adjust for such tendencies, initial points and reference points are set. For example, the initial points of positions CB and GK are set to larger values than positions CF and OMF.

The "win/lose points" in the above formula (3) are also determined in advance. FIG. 15 shows an example of win/loss point data that defines win/loss points. In the win/loss point data D1025 shown in FIG. 15, the win/loss points for each of "win", "draw", and "defeat" are defined as "2 points," "1 point," and "0 point," respectively.

Note that if the value of ((total points + initial points)/reference points) in the above formula (3) exceeds 1, it is rounded down. Further, the value calculated by the above formula (3) is corrected to a value in 0.5 increments and determined as an evaluation score.

In phase PH108, the evaluation points of the first to third reporter characters for the original player character are calculated as described above, and in phase PH110, the calculated evaluation points are applied to part P62-1 of match result image G60. , P62-2, and P62-3.

Note that the evaluation score calculation method described above is only an example, and other calculation methods may be adopted. The evaluation point calculation method is set according to the type of game. That is, the data shown in FIGS. 11 to 15 are set according to the type of game.

In the soccer game described above, the original player characters who are members of the selected team are evaluated based on evaluation criteria determined from among multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates (Figure 4), so that good evaluations can be obtained. Therefore, the user needs to create an original player character that meets the evaluation criteria. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to create original player characters with different characteristics.

In particular, in soccer games, the original player character is evaluated based on an evaluation criterion selected from among multiple evaluation criterion candidates based on probability information, which makes it difficult for users to predict the evaluation criterion, resulting in a good evaluation. In order to obtain this, the user needs to create an original player character that is suitable for each of the multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to create an original player character suitable for each of the plurality of evaluation criteria candidates.

In addition, in a soccer game, the original player character is evaluated based on multiple evaluation criteria selected from multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates, so in order to obtain a good evaluation, the user has to select the appropriate evaluation criteria based on the multiple evaluation criteria. It is necessary to generate an original player character like this in advance. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to generate an original player character that is suitable for a plurality of evaluation criteria.

In addition, in a soccer game, original player characters in matches between selected teams and opposing teams are evaluated based on evaluation criteria, so users can obtain good evaluations based on evaluation criteria in such matches. It is necessary to create an original player character like this. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to create such an original player character.

In addition, in a soccer game, a list of reporters in charge image G20 is displayed before the selection of selected members is made, and a part that shows information on the reporter character in charge is displayed on the selected member selection image G30 (when selection of selected members is performed). Since P33 is displayed, the user can make the above selection after understanding the evaluation criteria. That is, the user can easily select an original player character suitable for the evaluation criteria from among the original player characters as a selected member.

In addition, in the soccer game, when the original player character performs an action (play) that is evaluated favorably according to the evaluation criteria of the reporter character in charge, a part P54 indicating that fact is displayed on the match image G50, so that the user can It becomes easier to understand the evaluation results of the reporter character in charge while playing the game.

In addition, in a soccer game, the original player character selected as a selected member cannot be selected again as a selected member until a predetermined restriction period has elapsed (for example, until the user has played 5 matches). It is possible to prevent only original player characters from being selected as selected members. That is, it becomes possible to prompt the user to select a different original player character as a selected member.

In addition, in the soccer game, rewards are given to the user based on the evaluation results of the reporter character in charge of the original player character, giving the user motivation to create an original player character that can earn a lot of rewards. becomes possible.

[3-1-4] Data other than the data described above is also stored in the data storage unit 100. For example, data on player characters who are members of the selected team and the opponent team are stored in the data storage unit 100.

[3-2] As shown in FIG. 16, the game system 1 includes a display control section 110, an evaluation criterion determination section 120, a selection reception section 130, a restriction section 140, a game execution section 150, and an evaluation section 160. and a reward giving unit 170. These are realized in the server 10 or the game terminal 30. A part of these may be realized by the control section 31 of the game terminal 30, and the rest may be realized by the control section 11 of the server 10. Alternatively, all of these may be realized by the control section 11 of the server 10, or all of these may be realized by the control section 31 of the game terminal 30.

[3-2-1] The display control unit 110 executes control for displaying various images on the display unit 35.

"Executing control for displaying an image on the display section" means generating an image and displaying it on the display section. The image may be displayed on the display section of the other device by transmitting data for displaying the image to the other device. Here, "data for displaying an image" may be the image itself, or may be data necessary to generate the image.

In the case of the aforementioned soccer game, the display control unit 110 displays the original player information image G10, the reporter list image G20, the selected member selection image G30, the team information image G40, the match image G50, the match result image G60, or the reward acquisition image G70. control for displaying on the display section 35.

[3-2-2] The evaluation criterion determination unit 120 determines at least one of the plurality of evaluation criterion candidates as an evaluation criterion for evaluating the game object used in the game.

A "game object" is an object that can be used in a game. For example, a game character, a game card, a game item, or the like corresponds to an example of a "game object." A plurality of parameters are set for the game object.

"Evaluation" refers to evaluating the superiority or inferiority of a game object when used in a game. For example, a game object is evaluated using a plurality of evaluation items. That is, the quality of the game object is evaluated for each evaluation item, and the quality of the game object is comprehensively evaluated based on the evaluation results for each evaluation item. The evaluation results for each evaluation item may be expressed in points, or may be expressed in stages (for example, in 3 or 5 stages). The overall evaluation result may also be expressed in terms of scores (points) or in stages (for example, in 3 or 5 stages). For example, in a game where the goal is to achieve a predetermined goal, game objects are evaluated based on how useful they are in achieving the goal.

(1) For example, in the case of a game in which a game object takes action, the game object is evaluated based on whether or not the game object performs a desirable action that should be taken in the game, or the number of times the game object performs a desirable action. Alternatively, the game object may be evaluated based on whether the game object has performed an undesirable action that should not be performed in the game, or the number of times the game object has performed an undesirable action. A game object is evaluated positively when a desirable action is performed, and the more times a desirable action is performed, the higher the evaluation of the game object becomes. On the other hand, when an undesirable action is performed, the game object is evaluated negatively, and the more times the undesirable action is performed, the lower the evaluation of the game object becomes.

For example, in the case of a soccer game, the number of times the player character has passed, shot, dribbled, etc., the number of times the player character has successfully passed, shot, dribbled, etc., whether the player character has made a pass error, etc. The player character is evaluated based on the number of times the character makes a pass mistake. For example, in the case of a baseball game, the player character is evaluated based on the number of hits or home runs the player character has, the number of times the player character has been involved in defense or the number of blunders, or the number of times the player character (pitcher) has struck out. be done.

(2) For example, in the case of a game where the role of the game object is set, the game object is evaluated based on whether or not the game object performed an action according to the role, or the number of times the game object performed an action according to the role. be done. Alternatively, the game object may be evaluated based on whether the game object has performed an action that does not correspond to its role or the number of times that the game object has performed an action that does not correspond to its role. A game object is evaluated positively when the player performs an action according to the role, and the more times the player performs the action according to the role, the higher the evaluation of the game object becomes. On the other hand, if the game object performs an action that does not correspond to the role, the game object is evaluated negatively, and the more times the game object performs the action that does not correspond to the role, the lower the evaluation of the game object becomes.

For example, in the case of a soccer game, whether or not the player character has acted in accordance with the position (an example of a role), the number of times the player character has acted in accordance with the position, and whether the player character has acted in a manner that is not in accordance with the position. The player character is evaluated based on whether or not the player character has performed an action that is not appropriate for the player's position. For example, in the case of a baseball game, if the player character is the No. 1 batter, the number of times he gets on base, if the player character is the No. 2 batter, the number of successful sacrifice hits, or if the player character is a clean-up batter, the number of RBIs. Player characters are evaluated based on the number of times they raise the .

(3) For example, in the case of a game where action guidelines are set for game objects, the game determines whether or not the game object has acted in accordance with the action guidelines, or the number of times the game object has acted in accordance with the action guidelines. Objects are evaluated. Alternatively, the game object may be evaluated based on whether the game object has performed an action that does not follow the action guideline or the number of times the game object has performed an action that does not follow the action guideline. A game object is evaluated positively when an action is taken in accordance with the action guideline, and the more times the action is taken in accordance with the action guideline, the higher the evaluation of the game object becomes. On the other hand, if the game object performs an action that violates the behavioral guidelines, the game object is evaluated negatively, and the more times the game object performs an action that violates the behavioral guidelines, the lower the evaluation of the game object becomes.

For example, in the case of a soccer game, whether or not the player character acted in accordance with the strategy (an example of action guidelines), the number of times the player character acted in accordance with the strategy, and whether the player character acted against the strategy. The player character is evaluated based on whether or not the player character has acted contrary to the strategy or the number of times the player character has acted contrary to the strategy. For example, in the case of a baseball game, whether or not the player character acted in accordance with the sign from the manager/coach (an example of behavioral guidelines), the number of times the player character acted in accordance with the sign, and the number of times the player character The player character is evaluated based on whether or not the player character has acted contrary to the sign or the number of times the player character has acted contrary to the sign.

(4) Also, for example, the game object is evaluated based on the results achieved by the game object in the game. For example, in the case of a soccer game, the player character is evaluated based on the performance (number of goals, number of assists, number of shots, pass success rate, number of fouls, etc.) achieved by the player character in the game. For example, in the case of a baseball game, the player character's performance in the game (performance as a fielder (batting average, RBI, number of home runs, number of strikeouts, number of stolen bases, or number of errors) or performance as a pitcher (e.g. ERA, Player characters are evaluated based on the number of wins, number of strikeouts, number of hits and hits, pitch speed, etc.).

The "evaluation standard" is a standard for evaluating a game object. For example, it is something (a formula, a table, a combination thereof, etc.) for calculating a score (points) indicating the superiority or inferiority of a game object based on one or more evaluation items. Further, for example, it may indicate conditions for a game object to be evaluated as being superior (or inferior) to each evaluation item with respect to one or more evaluation items. This "condition" may evaluate the quality of the game object in stages (for example, in 3 stages or 5 stages).

"Multiple types of evaluation criterion candidates" are candidates that can be determined as evaluation criteria for evaluating game objects used in a game. The plurality of types of evaluation criterion candidates indicate mutually different evaluation criteria. For example, if the evaluation standard is for calculating scores (points) indicating the superiority or inferiority of game objects based on one or more evaluation items (formula, table, or combination thereof, etc.), "mutually different evaluations" The term "criteria" means that formulas or tables for calculating scores (points) indicating the superiority or inferiority of game objects are different from each other. Here, "the formulas are different" may mean that the formulas themselves are different, or that the coefficients included in the formulas are different. Furthermore, "the tables are different" means that the correspondence relationships defined in the tables are different. For example, when the evaluation criteria are conditions for a game object to be evaluated as excellent (or inferior), "mutually different evaluation criteria" means that the conditions are different from each other.

For example, in a game, a plurality of evaluator characters may be prepared that respectively correspond to a plurality of types of evaluation criterion candidates.

"Determine at least one of multiple types of evaluation standard candidates as an evaluation standard" means, for example, selecting at least one of multiple types of evaluation standard candidates based on probability information, This is to determine evaluation criteria candidates as evaluation criteria. Here, "probability information" is information indicating the probability that each of multiple types of evaluation criterion candidates will be selected, and in this probability information, the same probability of selection for all evaluation criterion candidates may be set, or a different probability may be set for each evaluation criterion candidate.

In other words, "determine at least one of multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates as an evaluation standard" means to randomly (based on random numbers) select at least one of multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates. , to determine the selected evaluation criterion candidate as an evaluation criterion.

Note that evaluation criterion candidates determined as evaluation criteria may be restricted so that they are not determined as evaluation criteria continuously, or may be restricted so that they are not determined as evaluation criteria over a predetermined period of time.

The determination of the evaluation criteria is performed before the selection of the game object to be evaluated. Note that this may be executed after the evaluation target game object is selected.

In the case of the aforementioned soccer game, the evaluation criteria for each of the multiple types of newspapers (FIG. 4) correspond to an example of "multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates." The evaluation criteria determination unit 120 determines evaluation criteria for evaluating the user's original player character in a match between the selected team and the opponent team. Specifically, the evaluation criteria determination unit 120 selects three newspapers from among multiple types of newspapers, and determines the evaluation criteria for each of the three newspapers as the evaluation criteria for evaluating the original player character. .

[3-2-3] The selection reception unit 130 selects a plurality of game objects associated with user identification information, which are generated based on the game play of the user identified by the user identification information. Accepts the selection of a game object to be evaluated from among them.

"User identification information" is information for uniquely identifying a user. In other words, it is information for identifying the user. For example, a user ID, user name, user account, or e-mail address corresponds to an example of "user identification information."

"A plurality of game objects associated with user identification information" refers to a plurality of game objects that are stored in association with user identification information. In other words, it is a plurality of game objects owned by the user identified by the user identification information. In other words, it is a plurality of game objects that are available for use by the user identified by the user identification information. For example, it is a game object generated based on the game play of a user identified by user identification information.

A “game object generated based on the game play of the user identified by the user identification information” is a game object generated as a result of the user playing the game. In other words, it is a game object whose parameters are set based on game play by the user. For example, the game object is a game object whose parameters are updated from an initial state and determined based on game play by the user.

Note that "a game object generated based on the game play of a user identified by user identification information" can be rephrased as a game object generated by a user. For example, it can be rephrased as a game character or game card developed by the user, or as a game character, game card, or game item strengthened by the user.

The "evaluation target game object" is a game object to be evaluated in the game. In the game, evaluation is performed based on evaluation criteria for game objects selected as evaluation target game objects, and evaluation based on evaluation criteria is not performed for game objects that are not selected as evaluation target game objects.

"Accepting selection of a game object to be evaluated" means accepting an operation for selecting a game object to be evaluated. For example, a selection image (for example, an image showing a list of the plurality of game objects) for selecting at least one of the plurality of game objects as the evaluation target game object is displayed on the display means, and one of the plurality of game objects is selected as the evaluation target game object. The purpose is to accept an operation for selecting at least one of the game objects as an evaluation target game object.

Alternatively, "receiving the selection of the evaluation target game object" may mean receiving data indicating the selection result of the evaluation target game object (the game object selected as the evaluation target object). The method may include receiving data indicating that at least one of the plurality of game objects has been selected as the evaluation target game object.

The selection of the game object to be evaluated is performed after the evaluation criteria have been determined. Note that it may be executed before the evaluation criteria are determined.

For example, the determination by the evaluation criteria determination unit 120 is performed before the selection of the evaluation target game object is performed, and the display control is performed before the evaluation target game object is selected or when the evaluation target game object is selected. The unit 110 executes control for displaying on the display unit 35 an evaluation criterion image showing the evaluation criteria determined by the evaluation criterion determination unit 120.

"Before the selection of the evaluation target game object is performed" means before the selection of the evaluation target game object is accepted. For example, before a selection image for selecting a game object to be evaluated is displayed. For example, it may be possible after the selection image for selecting the evaluation target game object is displayed but before the selection operation for selecting the evaluation target game object is received.

The "evaluation standard image" is an image that shows the evaluation standard so that the user can understand it. For example, it is an image containing text or an image indicating evaluation criteria.

"Displaying the evaluation standard image on the display section before the selection of the evaluation target game object" means, for example, displaying the evaluation standard image before the selection image for selecting the evaluation target game object is displayed. It is to display it on the display unit. That is, after the evaluation reference image is displayed on the display section, a selection image for selecting the evaluation target game object is displayed on the display section. In this case, a transition may be made from the evaluation reference image to the selected image, or the selected image may be further displayed while the evaluation reference image is being displayed. For example, the selected image may be displayed as part of the evaluation reference image, or the evaluation reference image may be displayed as part of the selected image.

"Displaying the evaluation standard image on the display section when selecting the evaluation target game object" means, for example, displaying the evaluation standard image as part of the selection image for selecting the evaluation target game object. It is. Alternatively, an evaluation reference image may be displayed together with a selection image for selecting a game object to be evaluated.

In the case of the aforementioned soccer game, a plurality of original player characters owned by a user are "a plurality of game objects associated with user identification information, which are based on the game play of the user identified by the user identification information. This corresponds to an example of "a plurality of generated game objects". Further, the selected members correspond to an example of the "evaluation target game object". The selection reception unit 130 receives selection of selected members from among the original player characters owned by the user.

Furthermore, the part P33 of the reporter list image G20 and the selection member selection image G30 corresponds to an example of the "evaluation standard image". That is, before displaying the selection member selection image G30, the display control unit 110 displays the reporter list image G20 on the display unit 35. Further, the display control unit 110 displays the part P33 on the selected member selection image G30.

[3-2-4] The restriction unit 140 restricts the game object selected as the evaluation target game object from being selected again as the evaluation target game object for a predetermined restriction period.

The "limited period" is, for example, a period from when a game object is selected as an evaluation target game object until a predetermined period of time has elapsed. Alternatively, for example, it may be a period after being selected as a game object to be evaluated until a new game object to be evaluated is selected a predetermined number of times.

"Restricting the game object from being selected again" means, for example, not displaying the game object, displaying the game object in a non-selectable state (for example, grayed out), or Even if the selection is made again, the selection will not be accepted (ignored).

"Restricting the game object selected as the evaluation target game object from being selected again as the evaluation target game object for a predetermined restriction period" means that when the game object is selected as the evaluation target game object, the restriction period The goal is to restrict the game object from being selected again as an evaluation target game object until the time period has elapsed.

In the aforementioned soccer game, when an original player character is selected as a selected member, the restriction unit 140 controls the corresponding character until a predetermined restriction period (period until the user finishes playing the match part five times) has elapsed. It is prohibited to select the original player character again as a selected member. For example, the display control unit 110 displays the original player character in a non-selectable state, such as part P31-4 in FIG. 5, on the selection member selection image G30.

[3-2-5] The game execution unit 150 executes a game in which the evaluation target game object is used.

A "game in which the evaluation target game object is used" is a game that is executed based on the evaluation target game object.

A "game in which the evaluation target game object is used" can also be said to be a game in which the evaluation target game object appears. That is, this is a game in which the evaluation target game object is displayed on the game screen. The game may be a game in which a plurality of game objects including the evaluation target game object appear, or it may be a game in which only the evaluation target game object appears.

Alternatively, a "game in which the evaluation target game object is used" can also be referred to as a game in which the evaluation target game object is operated by the user. That is, this is a game in which the state (position, posture, etc.) of the game object to be evaluated changes according to the user's operations. For example, this is a game in which a game object to be evaluated moves within the game in response to a user's operation. It may also be a game in which an object to be evaluated is operated by a computer.

A "game in which the evaluation target game object is used" may be a game in which the progress and result of the game are determined by executing a simulation process based on the parameters of the evaluation target game object.

The "game in which the evaluation target game object is used" may be a combination of the above games. For example, it is a game in which the progress of the game is basically determined by executing simulation processing based on the parameters of the game object, and the user operates the game object to be evaluated only on a specific screen. It's okay.

For example, a match between the first game object or the first game object group and the second game object or the second game object group is executed with the evaluation target game object as a member of the first game object or the first game object group. The competitive game to be played corresponds to an example of "a game in which the evaluation target game object is used."

The display control unit 110 executes control to display a game image indicating the current situation of the game on the display unit 35 while the game is being executed.

A "game image" is an image displayed on a display means during execution of a game. In the case of a game in which a game object is operated by a user, the game image shows how the state of the game object changes in response to the user's operation. In the case of a game in which the progress of the game is determined by executing a simulation process based on the parameters of a game object, the progress of the game determined by the simulation process is shown in the game image.

In the case of the soccer game described above, the match between the selected team and the opponent team corresponds to an example of "a game in which the evaluation target game object is used." Further, the match image G50 corresponds to an example of a "game image". The game execution section 150 executes a match between the selected team and the opponent team, and during the match, the display control section 110 displays the match image G50 on the display section 35.

[3-2-6] The evaluation unit 160 evaluates the evaluation target game object used in the game based on the evaluation criteria determined by the evaluation criteria determination unit 120.

"Evaluate the evaluation target game object used in the game based on the evaluation criteria" means to evaluate the evaluation target game object in the game executed by the game execution unit 150 based on the evaluation criteria. For example, with the game object to be evaluated as a member of the first game object or the first game object group, a match between the first game object or the first game object group and the second game object or the second game object group is executed in the game. If so, the evaluation unit 160 evaluates the evaluation target game object in the match based on the evaluation criteria determined by the evaluation criteria determination unit 120.

The display control unit 110 executes control for displaying an evaluation result image indicating the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 160 on the display unit 35. The "evaluation result image" is an image that shows the evaluation result so that the user can understand it. For example, it is an image containing text or an image indicating the evaluation result.

For example, when the evaluation criterion determination unit 120 determines a plurality of evaluation criteria from among the plurality of types of evaluation criterion candidates, the evaluation unit 160 determines the evaluation criteria in the game for each of the plurality of evaluation criteria determined by the evaluation criterion determination unit 120. Evaluate the used evaluation target game object. Then, the display control unit 110 executes control to cause the display means to display an evaluation result image showing the evaluation results of each of the plurality of evaluation criteria.

"Evaluate the game object to be evaluated used in the game for each of the multiple evaluation criteria" means to obtain the evaluation results for the game object to be evaluated used in the game for each of the multiple evaluation criteria. . That is, evaluation results for each evaluation criterion are obtained by evaluating the evaluation target game object used in the game for each evaluation criterion.

"Evaluation result image showing evaluation results of each of a plurality of evaluation criteria" is an image showing evaluation results for each evaluation criterion.

Note that during execution of the game, the evaluation unit 160 evaluates the evaluation target game object based on the evaluation criteria determined by the evaluation criteria determination unit 120, and the display control unit 110 displays the evaluation result of the evaluation target game object in the game. Control for displaying the image may also be executed.

"Displaying the evaluation result on the game image" means displaying text or an image indicating the evaluation result as part of the game image.

In the case of the soccer game described above, the evaluation unit 160 evaluates the user's original player character in the match between the selected team and the opponent team with respect to the evaluation criteria of each of the first to third reporter characters in charge. That is, the evaluation unit 160 calculates evaluation points for each of the first to third reporter characters with respect to the original player character based on the data shown in FIGS. 11 to 15.

Further, the match result image G60 corresponds to an example of an "evaluation result image." That is, the display control unit 110 displays the match result image G60 indicating the evaluation result on the display unit 35.

Furthermore, during the match, the display control unit 110 displays a part P54 indicating the evaluation result of the original player character on the match image G50.

[3-2-7] The reward giving unit 170 gives a reward to the user based on the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 160.

For example, the reward giving unit 170 gives a game object as a reward to the user. Alternatively, game points (or in-game currency) may be given to the user as a reward. Alternatively, some rights related to the game may be given to the user as a reward. Specifically, the user may be given the right to play a specific game, the right to participate in a game tournament, etc. as a reward.

"Giving a reward to a user" means, for example, associating a user's identification information with a reward.

For example, when giving game points to a user as a reward, "giving a reward to a user" means that the user's identification information and game points are associated, and then the game points are further associated with the user's identification information. The associated game point is to increase.

For example, when giving a game object as a reward to a user, "giving a reward to the user" means associating a new game object with the user's identification information, or associating the user's identification information with the game object. The method further includes associating the game object with the user's identification information to increase the number of game objects associated with the user's identification information.

For example, when granting a user some kind of right regarding a game as a reward, "granting a reward to a user" means associating information indicating that the user has the right with the user's identification information.

For example, rewards are given to the user after the game ends. Note that the reward may be given to the user before the start of the game or during the execution of the game.

"Giving a reward to the user based on the evaluation result" means determining the presence or absence or value of the reward to be given to the user based on the evaluation result. For example, a reward may be given to the user only when the evaluation result is higher than a predetermined result. For example, the value of the reward given to the user when the evaluation result is high is set to be higher than the value given to the user when the evaluation result is low. "Value of reward" refers to the amount, usefulness, rarity, etc. of reward.

In the aforementioned soccer game, score points are given to the user according to the evaluation scores of the first to third reporter characters relative to the original player character. Then, when the cumulative score points acquired by the user reach a predetermined value, the reward giving unit 170 gives the user a game item or the like as a reward. In addition, in the case of the soccer game mentioned above, score points also correspond as an example of "reward."

[4. Processing] Next, the processing executed by the game system 1 will be described.

[4-1] FIG. 20 shows an example of processing executed before the match starts (processing executed in phases PH100 to PH104). By executing the process shown in FIG. 20 according to the program, the display control section 110, the evaluation criteria determination section 120, the selection reception section 130, and the restriction section 140 are realized. Note that if the data necessary to execute the process shown in FIG. 20 is not stored in the storage unit 32 but is stored in the storage unit 12 or the database DB, the control unit 31 requests the server 10 for the data. However, it is necessary to obtain data returned from the server 10, but this is omitted in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 20, first, the control unit 31 of the game terminal 30 determines first to third reporter characters (S300).

For example, the control unit 31 selects one of the newspapers registered in the newspaper data D101 as the first newspaper based on probability information indicating the probability that each newspaper is selected. Note that the above probability may or may not be the same for all newspapers. Then, the control unit 31 identifies the newspaper selected in the previous match from the user's match history data D105, and determines whether the first newspaper is the same as any of the newspapers selected in the previous match. . If the first newspaper is the same as one of the newspapers selected in the previous game, the control unit 31 re-selects the first newspaper. On the other hand, if the first newspaper is not the same as any of the newspapers selected in the previous game, the control unit 31 determines the reporter character of the newspaper selected as the first newspaper as the first reporter character in charge.

Next, the control unit 31 selects one of the newspapers registered in the newspaper data D101 as the second newspaper based on the probability information. Then, the control unit 31 determines whether the second newspaper is the same as the first newspaper or whether the second newspaper is the same as any of the newspapers selected in the previous game. If the second newspaper is the same as the first newspaper, or if the second newspaper is the same as one of the newspapers selected in the previous game, the control unit 31 re-selects the second newspaper. If the second newspaper is not the same as the first newspaper and is not the same as any of the newspapers selected in the previous game, the control unit 31 sets the reporter character of the newspaper selected as the second newspaper as the second reporter character in charge. decide.

Similarly, the control unit 31 selects one of the newspapers registered in the newspaper data D101 as the third newspaper based on the probability information. Then, the control unit 31 determines whether the third newspaper is the same as the first or second newspaper, and whether the third newspaper is the same as any of the newspapers selected in the previous game. . If the third newspaper is the same as the first or second newspaper, or if the third newspaper is the same as one of the newspapers selected in the previous game, the control unit 31 re-selects the third newspaper. If the third newspaper is not the same as either the first or second newspaper and is not the same as any of the newspapers selected in the previous game, the control unit 31 changes the reporter character of the newspaper selected as the third newspaper to the third newspaper. 3 Determined as the reporter character in charge.

After executing step S300, the control unit 31 displays the reporter list image G20 on the display unit 35 (S302). In this case, the control unit 31 displays the information of the first reporter character determined in step S300 on part P21-1, and displays the information of the second reporter character determined in step S300 on part P21-2. Then, the information about the third reporter character determined in step S300 is displayed on part P21-3.

While the reporter list image G20 is being displayed, the control unit 31 monitors whether or not part P22 has been selected. When the part P22 is selected, the control unit 31 displays the selection member selection image G30 on the display unit 35 based on the user's original player character data D104 (S304).

In this case, the control unit 31 identifies the original player character selected as a selected member in the last five games based on the user's match history data, and puts the original player character in a non-selectable state (for example, as shown in FIG. 6). Display in a manner similar to part P31-4). Further, the control unit 31 sets the parts P33 of the selected member selection image G30 based on the determination result in step S300.

While the selected member selection image G30 is displayed, the control unit 31 moves parts P32 and P332 according to the user's operation, and updates the display content of part P333 according to the movement of part P332. . The control unit 31 also monitors whether part P34 has been selected. Then, when the part P34 is selected, the control section 31 displays the team information image G40 on the display section 35 (S306). In this case, the information displayed in the team information image G40 is obtained based on the data of the original player character selected as a selected member in the selected member selection image G30, the data of the selected team, and the data of the opponent team. .

While team information image G40 is being displayed, control unit 31 monitors whether part P45 is selected. Then, when part P45 is selected, the control unit 31 starts the match (S308).

Note that although the processing shown in FIG. 20 is described here as being executed by the game terminal 30, all or part of the processing shown in FIG. 20 may be executed by the server 10. For example, the process in step S300 may be executed by the control unit 11 of the server 10. That is, the control unit 11 may decide the reporter character in charge and notify the game terminal 30 of the decision result. Further, for example, the process in step S302 may also be executed by the control unit 11 of the server 10. That is, the control unit 11 may display the reporter list image G20 on the display unit 35 by transmitting the data of the reporter list image G20 to the game terminal 30.

[4-2] FIG. 21 shows an example of a process executed during a match (a process executed in phase PH106). The display control section 110 and the game execution section 150 are realized by executing the processing shown in FIG. 21 according to the program. Note that if the data necessary to execute the process shown in FIG. 21 is not stored in the storage unit 32 but is stored in the storage unit 12 or the database DB, the control unit 31 requests the server 10 for the data However, it is necessary to obtain data returned from the server 10, but this is omitted in FIG. Furthermore, during the match, processes such as making the player characters of the selected team and the opponent team perform various actions and updating the match image G50 are executed at predetermined intervals, but these are omitted in FIG. Only the processing related to the evaluation of the original player character is shown.

As shown in FIG. 21, first, the control unit 31 of the game terminal 30 determines whether the user's original player character has performed an action corresponding to any item (S310).

That is, for each item defined in the item data D1021, the control unit 31 determines whether the action corresponding to the item was performed by the original player character. For example, since the action corresponding to item I1 is an action of touching the ball, the control unit 31 determines whether the original player character has touched the ball. For example, when the original player character kicks the ball or when the original player character traps the ball, the control unit 31 determines that the original player character has touched the ball, and the action corresponding to item I1 is the original player character. It is determined that this was done by

In connection with the process shown in FIG. 21, counter data D106 as shown in FIG. 22, for example, is stored in the storage unit 32. The counter data D106 is data for counting, for each item, the number of times the action corresponding to the item is performed by the original player character.

If the user's original player character performs an action corresponding to any item, the control unit 31 increments the counter for the item (S312). For example, when the action corresponding to item I1 is performed by the original player character, 1 is added to the counter of item I1.

Furthermore, the control unit 31 determines whether a speech balloon (part P54) should be displayed (S314).

In connection with the process shown in FIG. 21, for example, balloon display control data D107 as shown in FIG. 23 is stored in the storage unit 32. The balloon display control data D107 is data for controlling the display of balloons, and is data that defines whether or not a balloon should be displayed and the type of balloon to be displayed for each item.

In the balloon display control data D107 shown in FIG. 23, regarding item I1, "Good" is associated with newspaper N1, and "Great" is associated with newspaper N7. This means that when the action corresponding to item I1 is performed by the original player character, if the reporter character of newspaper N1 is included among the first to third reporter characters in charge, it will be associated with the reporter character. A part P54 indicating "Good" is displayed, and if the reporter character of newspaper N7 is included in the first to third reporter characters in charge, a part P54 indicating "Great" is displayed in association with the reporter character. Show that.

Furthermore, in the balloon display control data D107, items are divided into a plurality of groups, and a priority order within the group is set for each item. For example, in FIG. 23, items I2, I3, and I4 are set as group GP2, and the priorities of items I2, I3, and I4 within group GP2 are set as "3," "2," and "1." There is. For example, if the original player character shoots into the goal from an area close to the opponent team's goal (short range), the action corresponding to item I2 (shooting from short range) and the action corresponding to item I4 This means that an action (shoot on target) has taken place. In this regard, regarding item I2, "Good" is associated with newspaper N2, and regarding item I4, "Great" is associated with newspaper N2. In such a case, if the reporter character of newspaper N2 is included in the first to third reporter characters in charge, the item I4 with a higher priority is given priority, and the part P54 indicating "Great" is given priority. is displayed in association with the reporter character.

In step S314, it is determined whether or not a balloon should be displayed based on the balloon display control data D107. If it is determined that a speech bubble should be displayed, the control unit 31 displays the speech bubble (part P54) within the match image G50 (S316). In this case, the control unit 31 determines the reporter character in charge with which the speech bubble should be associated (that is, which of the parts P53-1, P53-2, and P53-3 should the part P54 be associated with), the type of speech bubble to be displayed (“Perfect ”, “Great”, or “Good”) is specified based on the balloon display control data D107.

When step S316 is executed, if it is not determined in step S310 that the action corresponding to any item was performed by the user's original player character, or if it is determined in step S314 that a speech bubble should be displayed. If not, the control unit 31 determines whether the match has ended (S318). If the match has not ended, the control unit 31 executes step S300 again, and if the match has ended, the control unit 31 executes the process shown in FIG. 24, which will be described later.

Note that although the processing shown in FIG. 21 is described here as being executed by the game terminal 30, all or part of the processing shown in FIG. 21 may be executed by the server 10. That is, the process shown in FIG. 21 may be executed by the control unit 11 of the server 10 by managing (updating) data indicating the current situation of the match (virtual space) on the server 10 side.

[4-3] FIG. 24 shows an example of the process executed after the match (the process executed in phases PH108 and PH110). By executing the process shown in FIG. 24 according to the program, the display control section 110, the evaluation section 160, and the reward giving section 170 are realized.

As shown in FIG. 24, first, the control unit 31 of the game terminal 30 calculates an evaluation score for each reporter character in charge (S320).

For example, first, the control unit 31 calculates the evaluation score of the first reporter character with respect to the original player character. This evaluation point is calculated based on the counter data D106, the evaluation standard data D102 (item data D1021, unit point data D1022, and newspaper weighting coefficient data D1023), and the above formulas (1) to (3). Note that when the first reporter character in charge is the reporter character of the newspaper N1, a portion of the newspaper weighting coefficient data D1023 corresponding to the newspaper N1 is referred to. After calculating the evaluation score of the first reporter character with respect to the original player character, the control unit 31 also calculates the score points corresponding to the evaluation points based on the information defining the correspondence between the evaluation points and the score points. .

The control unit 31 also calculates the evaluation score of the second reporter character in charge with respect to the original player character and the evaluation score of the third reporter character in charge with respect to the original player character. After calculating the evaluation points of the first or second reporter character with respect to the original player character, the control unit 31 also calculates score points corresponding to each evaluation point.

After executing step S320, the control unit 31 transmits data indicating the match results (including evaluation points and score points for each reporter character in charge) to the server 10 via the communication unit 33 (S322), and the server 10 , receives the data via the communication unit 13 (S100). The data is sent to the server 10 along with information that allows identification of the user's user ID.

When the above data is received by the server 10, the control unit 11 of the server 10 registers the match result (S102). For example, the control unit 11 registers the match result in the user's match history data D105, and updates the user's cumulative score points registered in the user data D103.

Further, the control unit 11 determines whether the reward granting conditions are satisfied (S104). For example, the control unit 11 determines whether the user's total score points have reached a predetermined value (or exceeded a predetermined value). If the reward granting conditions are satisfied, the control unit 11 grants the reward to the user (S106). For example, when the reward is a game item, in order to add the game item to the list of game items owned by the user, the control unit 11 accesses the user data D103, and accesses the "game item" associated with the user ID. Update the "Item" field.

When step S106 is executed, or when it is determined in step S104 that the reward granting conditions are not satisfied, the control unit 11 transmits a completion notification to the game terminal 30 via the communication unit 13 ( S108), the game terminal 30 receives the completion notification via the communication unit 33 (S324). Note that when step S106 is executed, the reward given to the user is also transmitted to the game terminal 30 as part of the completion notification.

When the completion notification is received by the game terminal 30, the control unit 31 of the game terminal 30 displays the match result image G60 on the display unit 35 (S326). In this case, if the evaluation score of the second reporter character is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value (for example, 8.5), the control unit 31 determines that the original player character is the best player for the second reporter character. As shown in FIG. 9, part P63 is displayed in association with part P62-1. The same applies to the first reporter character in charge and the third reporter character in charge.

Further, when the part P66 of the match result image G60 is selected, the control unit 31 displays the reward acquisition image G70 on the display unit 35 (S328).

Note that although the processing in steps S320, S326, and S328 has been described here as being executed by the game terminal 30, all or part of these may be executed by the server 10. That is, the control unit 11 may execute the process of step S320 by transmitting the counter data D106 and data indicating which newspaper's reporter characters the first to third reporter characters are to the server 10. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may display the match result image G60 or the reward acquisition image G70 on the display unit 35 by transmitting the data to the game terminal 30.

[5. Summary] According to the game system 1 described above, the original player character selected as a selected member is evaluated based on the evaluation criteria determined from among the multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates (FIG. 4). In order to obtain good evaluations, users need to create original player characters that meet the evaluation criteria. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to create original player characters with different characteristics.

In particular, in game system 1, the evaluation criteria for evaluating the original player character are selected from among multiple types of evaluation criteria candidates based on probability information, which makes it difficult for the user to predict the evaluation criteria, and the user It is necessary to create an original player character suitable for each of the plurality of evaluation criteria candidates. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to create an original player character suitable for each of the plurality of evaluation criteria candidates.

Furthermore, in a soccer game, a plurality of evaluation criteria are selected as evaluation criteria for evaluating an original player character, so the user needs to generate an original player character in advance that is suitable for the plurality of evaluation criteria. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to generate an original player character that is suitable for a plurality of evaluation criteria.

Furthermore, in soccer games, it is necessary to create original player characters that can receive good evaluations in matches between the selected team and the opposing team. As a result, it becomes possible to prompt the user to create such an original player character.

In addition, in the soccer game, the reporter list image G20 in charge is displayed before the selected member selection image G30, and the part P33 indicating information on the reporter character in charge is displayed in the selected member selection image G30, so that the user can check the evaluation criteria. After understanding this, it becomes easier to select original player characters suitable for the evaluation criteria as selected members.

In addition, in the soccer game, a part P54 indicating that the user's original player character performed an action (play) that received a favorable evaluation based on the evaluation criteria of the reporter character in charge is displayed on the match image G50, so that the user can play the game. It becomes easier to grasp the evaluation results of the reporter character in charge while playing the game.

In addition, in the soccer game, the original player character selected as a selected member cannot be selected again as a selected member for a predetermined limited period (until the user plays 5 matches), so the same original player character is always used. can be prevented from being selected as selected members.

In addition, in the soccer game, rewards are given to the user based on the evaluation results of the reporter character in charge of the original player character, giving the user motivation to create an original player character that can earn a lot of rewards. becomes possible.

[6. Modifications] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

[6-1] In the soccer game described above, multiple types of evaluation criteria were presented to the user as multiple newspapers (in other words, multiple reporter characters), but multiple types of evaluation criteria were presented to the user in different forms. may be presented.

[6-2] In the soccer game described above, a match is played between a selected team and an opponent team, but the team in which the original player character participates does not have to be a selected team. For example, a match may be held between a soccer team made up only of the user's original player characters and an opponent team. In this case, the evaluation points of all original player characters may be calculated, or the evaluation points of a specific original player character may be calculated.

[6-3] In the training part, the event deck (event character) was used to create an original player character, but the event deck (event character) is not required, and the training part uses the event deck (event character). It is also possible to create an original player character without using an event character.

[6-4] Although the example of a soccer game has been mainly described above, the present invention can also be applied to other games. For example, the present invention can be applied to sports games other than soccer games (baseball games, American football, basketball games, tennis games, etc.). For example, the present invention can also be applied to a game in which a game character group (team, party, or guild) that includes the user's original game character as one of its members and an opponent's game character group fight.
