Specifically, it is determined whether or not the current batter of the batter character 200 is finished, such as when the striker hits a strike or the hit ball hits.
[0107]
As a result, when it is determined that the battle is not over (step S26: NO), the process proceeds to step S21 and the same processing is repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined that the battle is over (step S26: NO), this process is finished.
[0108]
As described above, the pie chart 334 representing the pitch tendency data 74c corresponding to the current count is generated and displayed on the battle screen, and when the count changes due to the pitcher character 100 pitch, The pitch tendency data 74c to be updated is updated, and a pie chart 334 representing the pitch tendency data 74c corresponding to the changed count is generated and displayed again. Therefore, the pie chart 334 is updated as appropriate for each pitch of the pitcher character 100, and the pie chart 334 having contents corresponding to the current count is always displayed.
[0109]
2.3 Effects
As described above, according to the second embodiment, the second pitching data 74 representing the pitching history of the pitcher character 100 operated by the player on the pitcher-batter battle screen corresponds to the current pitching situation 332. The pitching tendency data 74 c is displayed in the pitching tendency display area 330 as a pie chart 334. In addition, for each pitch of the pitcher character 100, the corresponding pitch tendency data 74c is updated in consideration of the pitch contents, and the pie chart 334 is updated and displayed. Therefore, the player who operates the pitcher character 100 grasps a pitching tendency such as a bias of the pitch type of the pitch in real time during the match by looking at the pie chart 334 displayed on the match screen and updated for each pitch. It will be possible to immediately reflect on your own pitch.

[0111]
3. Modified example
The application of the present invention is not limited to the above-described two embodiments, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the following modification is mentioned.
[0112]
3.1 Displaying a list of pitching data
In the two embodiments described above, one pie chart representing pitching tendency data corresponding to the current pitching situation 332 among pitching data corresponding to the pitcher character 100 in the pitching tendency display area 330 on the battle screen. 334 is displayed, but this may be displayed as a list. For example, on the team organization screen displayed before the game starts, as shown in FIG. 11, as one of the pitching parameters for the selected pitcher 410 ((player 4) in the figure), a total of five pitches for each pitching situation Pie charts 420a to 420e representing trend data are generated and displayed as a list.
[0113]
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12, a pitch ratio in each pitch tendency data may be displayed as a list as numerical data. In the drawing, pitching tendency data for one pitcher character (pitcher 4) is shown on the left side of the screen. Specifically, the pitching ratio for each ball type (straight type, bending type, falling type) is displayed as numerical data in order from the case where the pitching status is “first ball”. In the figure, the pitching ratios for the “first pitch” and “normal” are shown, but by scrolling downward, other pitching situations (ie, “pitcher advantage 1”, “ It is possible to display the pitching ratio for each of the pitcher advantage 2 "and" full count ").
Further, in this case, the pitch ratio displayed as numerical data may be set / changed by an operation input by the player.
[0114]
3.2 Reflecting pitching tendency data in actual conditions
Moreover, it is good also as reflecting the content of the pitch tendency data displayed as a graph on the actual condition. Specifically, for each pitching situation and pitching tendency data, a plurality of actual data corresponding to the contents of the pitching situation and pitching tendency data is included in the game information and stored in advance. Then, when pitching by the pitcher character 100, the actual situation data corresponding to the current pitch situation and the content of the pitch tendency data may be read out, and the actual situation based on the actual situation data may be output by voice or displayed in text.
[0115]
Specifically, for example, when the pitching situation is “first ball” and the pitching ratio of the straight type is set to the highest in the corresponding pitching tendency data, “In the first pitch, the straight type is used a lot. What does the ball type come from? If the pitching status is “full count” and the pitching ratio of each ball type is set to the same ratio in the corresponding pitching trend data, Even so, pitching is very balanced. "I don't know what will come ..."
[0116]
3.3 Graph shape
In the two embodiments described above, the pitching tendency data is represented as the pie chart 334. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be represented by other figures. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 (a), a band graph having a constant length in the longitudinal direction (lateral direction in the figure) is divided by a length proportional to the pitching ratio of each ball type, and each divided region May be displayed as a band graph 336 identified by a color or pattern according to the type of sphere. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the pitching ratio of each ball type may be displayed on a radar chart 338 which is a diagram connected at each position proportional to the distance from the center.
[0117]
3.4 Throwing tendency indicated by throwing tendency data
Furthermore, in the two embodiments described above, the pitching tendency data indicates the pitching ratio for each ball type, but other than this, for example, the pitching tendency for the pitching course and the ball speed may be indicated.
[0118]
Specifically, when a pitching tendency for a pitching course is shown, a pitching area 110 including a strike zone 210 of the batter character 200 is set and the pitching area 110 viewed from the batter character 200 is shown in FIG. Is divided into three equal parts from the left end part to the right end part and divided into three equal parts from the upper end part to the lower end part to divide the pitching area 110 into nine divided areas 112a to 112i. Then, a pitching ratio indicating a ratio of pitching to each of the divided areas 112a to 112i is associated with each other to obtain a pitching tendency.
[0119]
Further, when the pitching tendency with respect to the ball speed is shown, the ball speed is set to “fast ball” of 140 [km / h] or more, “normal” of 120 [km / h] to less than 140 [km / h], 120 [km]. / H] is classified into a condition such as “slow” less than h, and a pitching ratio indicating a ratio of pitching at each ball speed is associated with each other to obtain a pitching tendency.
[0120]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, in a game in which a pitcher and a batter face each other, the pitcher's pitch is automatically controlled based on preset pitching data, and the pitcher is placed at a predetermined position on the pitcher-batter's battle image. It is possible to control display of an image on which a graph representing the pitching data is arranged. Therefore, when the player operates the batter and plays against the pitcher, the player can predict the ball type, course, ball speed, etc. of the next pitch, for example, by looking at the graph controlled to be displayed in the battle image. It becomes. That is, it is possible to provide the player with information for bargaining. Note that the pitcher as the opponent may be a computer-controlled character or a second player character operated by a second player.
Further, since the pitching data is displayed as a graph, the player can easily grasp the pitching data visually compared to the case where the player is displayed as text data or numerical data, for example.
[0121]
Then, when the game situation satisfies a given situation condition, a predetermined correction process is performed on the preset pitching data, and the pitcher's pitching can be controlled based on the pitching data after the correction process. Therefore, when the above game is applied to a baseball game, for example, when the batter's ability is low, the pitcher's pitch is corrected appropriately according to the game situation, such as increasing the tendency to perform the pitch that the pitcher is good at. Can be controlled. In addition, as the game situation, for example, the exit situation and the weather may be considered.
[0122]
On the other hand, in a game where a pitcher and a batter play, the pitcher's pitch is controlled based on the operation input of the player, and a graph representing the pitcher's pitching data is displayed at a predetermined position on the pitcher-batter's battle screen. Can be controlled. In addition, the pitching data can be updated taking into account the pitcher's pitching content, and the graph can be updated and displayed for each pitch. That is, the pitch distribution data can be updated for each pitch, and the display can be controlled by updating to a graph representing the updated pitch data. Accordingly, when the player operates the pitcher to play against the batter, the player can view the updated graph for each pitch, which is displayed and controlled in the battle image. It is possible to grasp the bias of the pitching etc. in real time during the battle and immediately reflect it on his own pitch. Note that the batter as an opponent may be a computer-controlled character or a second player character operated by a second player.
In addition, since the pitching data is displayed as a graph, the player can easily grasp the pitching data visually with respect to the pitching data as compared with the case where the pitching data is displayed as text data or numerical data, for example. It is.
[0123]
Further, among the pitching tendency data included in the pitching data, it is possible to display and control a graph representing the pitching tendency data corresponding to the current pitching situation, and to change the graph according to the change in the pitching situation. That is, every time the pitching situation changes, it can be variably displayed in a graph representing pitching tendency data corresponding to the pitching situation after the change. Therefore, the player can grasp the pitching tendency of the pitcher in the current pitching situation by looking at the graph that is changed according to the change in the pitching situation.
[0124]
At this time, the predetermined figure divided | segmented according to the mixing | blending which pitching tendency data show can also be produced | generated as a graph. As this graph, for example, a pie chart generated by dividing a fan shape having a central angle or area proportional to the composition indicated by the pitching tendency data, or a band chart generated by dividing the longitudinal direction by a length proportional to the composition Etc.
[0125]
It is also possible to display a list of graphs based on pitching tendency data corresponding to each pitching situation. Therefore, for example, when the team is organized before the game is started, or when the pitcher is changed after the game is interrupted, the pitcher's pitching data is displayed in a graph and displayed as a list, so that the player can control the pitcher he / she operates. The pitching ability such as the pitching tendency (ball type, course, deviation in ball speed, etc.) can be easily grasped, and appropriate selection can be made.
[0126]
Furthermore, it is possible to output actual condition data corresponding to the pitching situation and pitching tendency data corresponding to the pitching situation.
