The fielder mode can be realized. Here, the pitcher mode will be described first with reference to FIG. 4 together with FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a player is playing a baseball game in the pitcher mode. In the pitcher mode, the player can participate in a game in a game as a pitcher by throwing a ball at the vertically arranged game input device 20. In this case, the game input device 2
0 outputs a signal corresponding to the position of the ball hit by the player and the resulting pressure. The game device body 10 sets the position on the pitching course,
In addition, the pitch is reflected on the ball speed to cause the pitcher in the game to pitch, and the state of the match based on the pitch content is displayed on the television receiver 12.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a routine executed by the game apparatus body 10 to realize the above-mentioned pitcher mode. The routine shown in FIG. 4 is started each time a pitch by a pitcher is started, for example, each time a start of a pitch is instructed by the controller 16, or each time a series of processes associated with the previous pitch is completed.

In step 100, it is determined whether or not the player has selected a pitch to throw. The process of this step is repeatedly executed until it is determined that the pitch has been selected.

In step 102, the game input device 2
It is determined whether a signal from 0 has been input. The process of this step is repeatedly executed until it is determined that the signal has been input.

In step 104, the position where the ball hits the game input device 20 based on the above input signal,
And the pressure generated at that time is read.

In step 106, the ball speed and the course of the ball thrown by the pitcher in the game are calculated from the position and pressure.

At step 108, a match between the pitcher and the batter is simulated based on the pitch selected by the player and the pitch content determined by the ball speed and the course calculated as described above. Then, the process and result of the simulation and the movement of the game accompanying the result are displayed on the television receiver 12. When the above processing ends, the current processing cycle ends.

As described above, in the baseball game realized in the present embodiment, by selecting the pitcher mode, the ability and skill of the player as the pitcher can be reflected on the skill and ability of the pitcher in the game. For this reason, according to the game method of the present embodiment, it is possible to make the player feel realistically as a pitcher.

Next, the game method in the batter mode will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 shows a state where the player is playing a baseball game in the batter mode. In the batter mode, the player can control the movement of the batter appearing in the game by performing the movement of the batter on the game input device 20 placed horizontally. More specifically, the movement of the player himself can be reflected on the batter's stance, standing position, step direction and width, and momentum in the batter box.

In the batter mode, the game input device 20
Outputs a signal indicating the position being stepped on by the player and the pressure applied to that position. The game apparatus main body 10 detects the batter's stance and standing position, the characteristics of the step operation, and the like based on the signal, and reflects the content on the batter's operation in the game. Then, after changing the ease of hitting according to the motion of the batter, the game against the pitcher is simulated, and the situation is displayed on the television receiver 12.

FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of a routine executed by the game apparatus body 10 to realize the batter mode described above. The routine shown in FIG. 6 is started each time a pitch by a pitcher is started, for example, each time a start of a pitch is instructed by the controller 16, or each time a series of processes associated with the previous pitch is completed.

In step 110, the game input device 2
Based on the signal input from 0, where the player's foot is placed on the game input device 20 and how much pressure is applied to the foot position are read.

In step 112, the stance width of the player based on the position and the pressure read as described above,
And the standing position in the batter box is detected. Further, in this step, features (direction, magnitude, momentum, etc.) of the step operation are detected based on the position and pressure detected in the past and the position and pressure detected this time.

At step 114, it is determined whether or not the batter swings. The start of the swing may be instructed by the player using an auxiliary input device such as the controller 16 or may be caused to respond to a player's weight shift such as a step operation. If it is determined that the swing has not been executed yet, the process of step 116 is executed.

In step 116, it is determined whether or not the current ball has been sent off. As a result, if it is determined that the postponement has not yet been made, the processing after step 110 is executed again. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ball has been postponed, the process of step 118 is executed, and then the current processing cycle is ended.

In step 118, a process associated with sending off the ball, for example, a process of generating a sound effect representing catching of the ball, a process of changing the count display, and the like are executed.

If it is determined in step 114 that the batter has swinged, the process of step 120 is executed. In step 120, according to the action of the batter,
That is, the ease of hitting is corrected as a whole or according to the course or the type of ball in accordance with the action of the player.

In the baseball game realized in the present embodiment, a meet rate representing the skill of hitting is determined in advance for each of the batters appearing in the game. In the above step 120, for example, when it is expected that a long hit is expected from the stance width of the batter (that is, the player) and the momentum of the step (when the stance is wide and the momentum of the step is intense), the meet rate is reduced. If it is anticipated that the player is aiming for a meet from the stance or the momentum of the step, a process of increasing the meet rate is performed. According to the above processing, the hit rate in the entire strike zone is
It can be changed according to the action of the player.

In the baseball game realized in the present embodiment, the batting average for each course is determined in advance for each game situation and each ball type. The course for the batter changes relatively depending on the batter's standing position and the direction of the step. In other words, if the batter stands near the home base, the out course for the pitcher will be in the middle of the strike zone for the batter, and the in course for the pitcher will be a course without a hand for the batter. Step 1 above
In 20, the hitting rate data determined for each course viewed from the pitcher is corrected to the data for each course viewed from the batter according to the batter's standing position and step direction, for example. According to the above processing, the distinction between a good ball and a bad ball for the batter can be changed according to the operation of the player.

In step 122, the battle between the pitcher and the batter is simulated with the corrected hitting probability. Then, the process and result of the simulation and the movement of the game accompanying the result are displayed on the television receiver 12. When the above processing ends, the current processing cycle ends.

As described above, in the baseball game realized in the present embodiment, by selecting the batter mode, the movement of the player as a batter, more specifically, the ability, skill and reflexes of the player as a batter are determined. The probability of hitting can be changed accordingly. For this reason, according to the game method of the present embodiment, it is possible to make the player feel the sensation as a batter realistically.

Next, a game method in the runner mode will be described with reference to FIG. 7 together with FIG. As in the case of the batter mode, the player can enjoy the runner mode of the baseball game by operating on the horizontally placed game input device 20 (see FIG. 5). In the runner mode, the action of the player himself as a runner can be reflected on the action of the runner appearing in the game.

In the runner mode, the game input device 20
Outputs a signal indicating the position being stepped on by the player and the pressure applied to that position. The game apparatus main body 10 detects the movement of the runner's foot and the strength of the kick based on the signal, and reflects the detected movement on the running power and the speed of reflection of the runner in the game. Then, a state of stolen base, run, or return is simulated, and the state is displayed on the television receiver 12.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a routine executed by the game apparatus body 10 to realize the batter mode described above. The routine shown in FIG. 7 is started when a runner goes on the base.

In step 124, the game input device 2
Based on the signal input from 0, where the player's foot is placed on the game input device 20 and how much pressure is applied to the foot position are read.

In step 126, the moving direction and the moving speed of the runner are calculated based on the position and the pressure read as described above.

In step 128, a process for operating the runner on the television receiver 12 in the moving direction and the moving speed calculated as described above is performed. According to the above processing, the running power and reflexes of the player can be reflected on the movement of the runner in the game.

In step 130, it is determined whether or not a situation in which it is unnecessary to display a runner has occurred. More specifically, a situation in which the runner has gone out, returned to home plate, or completed an attack on his body has been determined. It is determined whether or not it has occurred. If it is determined that such a situation has not occurred, the processing from step 124 onward is repeated again. On the other hand, if it is determined that such a situation has occurred, the process of step 132 is executed next.

In step 132, a process associated with the exit of the runner is executed. The execution of the processing of this step ends the current processing cycle.

As described above, in the baseball game realized in this embodiment, by selecting the runner mode, the runner in the game can be operated according to the player's ability, skill, and reflexes. For this reason, according to the game method of the present embodiment, it is possible to make the player feel realistically as a runner.

In the baseball game realized in the present embodiment, by selecting the fielder mode, the player can participate in the game as a defending fielder. In this case, the player performs an operation as a fielder on the game input device 20 placed horizontally as in the case of the runner mode (see FIG. 5). In addition, the game device body 10
By performing the same processing as in the runner mode (see FIG. 7), the movement of the player is reflected on the movement of the fielder appearing in the game.

In the fielder mode, the reflexes of the player with respect to the hit ball and the leg strength for catching up with the hit ball are reflected on the fielder in the game, and the skill of the defense changes according to these factors. For this reason, according to the game method of the present embodiment, it is possible to make the player feel as a fielder realistically.

The above-described game method can be applied to a game whose theme is a sport other than baseball. For example, the method used in the pitcher mode of the baseball game can be applied to the kicker mode in the PK match of the soccer game (see FIG. 1). In this case, the game device main body 10 detects the course and the ball speed of the ball kicked by the player based on the signal supplied from the game input device 20, and based on the detected content, the match between the kicker and the goalkeeper. Simulate. According to such a game method, the player's ability and skill as a kicker can be reflected on the ability of the kicker in the game, and the sense as a kicker can be realistically felt by the player.

The method used in the runner mode and the fielder mode of the baseball game can be applied to the keeper mode in the PK match of the soccer game and the field player mode of the soccer game (see FIG. 5).
In this case, the game device main body 10 is
Based on the signal supplied from 0, the player's physical abilities (reflexes and leg strength) are detected, and the detected contents are reflected in the physical abilities of the competitors in the game, so that the player can compete in a PK game or a one-on-one game in the field. 1. Simulate a confrontation. Further, the same game method can be applied to a runner mode and a jumper mode in an athletics game. According to such a game method, it is possible to make a player feel realistically as various players.

Further, by applying the method used in the pitcher mode of the baseball game, for example, if the game input device 20 is used as a sandbag, the punching force of the player is reflected on the punching force of the boxer in the game. Boxing game can be realized. In this case, by further using a method used in the runner mode or the fielder mode in the baseball game, the footwork of the player can be reflected on the footwork of the boxer in the game. According to such a game method, it is possible to make the player feel realistically as a boxer.
