[4. Game executed in game system]
In the game system 1, a game is executed in which a first team operated by a first player and a second team operated by a second player compete in a competition using a moving object (for example, a ball). .

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a soccer game imitating a soccer game performed between the first team operated by the first player and the second team operated by the second player is executed. This soccer game is realized by executing a program read from the optical disc 36.

  When the soccer game is started, a game space is constructed in the main memory 16. The game space described below is shared between the game apparatuses 10A and 10B. For example, the game space is shared in the game system 1 by transmitting information indicating a game space constructed by the game device 10A serving as a server to the game device 10B.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game space. As shown in FIG. 3, a field 42 that is an object representing a soccer field is arranged in the game space 40. On the field 42, there are goals 44A and 44B (hereinafter collectively referred to as goals 44) as objects representing goals, characters 47A and 47B as objects representing soccer players, and objects representing soccer balls. A certain ball 48 (moving object) is arranged.

  Of the two goals 44, one is associated with the first team and the other is associated with the second team. When the ball 48 moves to an area within the goal 44 associated with one of the teams, a scoring event for the other team occurs. That is, when the ball 48 moves to an area (first goal area) within the goal 44A associated with the first team, a scoring event of the second team occurs, and the goal 44B associated with the ball 48 is associated with the second team. A score event of the first team occurs when moving to the inner area (second goal area).

  In the field 42, a goal line 43, a touch line 45, and a center line 46 are represented. A soccer game is played in the pitch 41 surrounded by the goal line 43 and the touch line 45. Hereinafter, the area surrounded by the center line 46, the goal line 43 on the goal 44 side of one team, and the touch line 45 in the pitch 41 is referred to as the team's own team. The other area is called the enemy team of this team.

  Although omitted in FIG. 1, eleven characters 47A belonging to the first team and eleven characters 47B belonging to the second team are arranged on the field 42. Hereinafter, the character 47A and the character 47B are also simply referred to as a character 47.

  When the character 47 and the ball 48 approach each other, the character 47 and the ball 48 are associated under a predetermined condition. In this case, the ball 48 follows the character 47. A state in which the ball 48 follows the character 47 is represented as a dribbling action of the character 47. Hereinafter, the state where the ball 48 is associated with the character 47 will be described as “the character 47 holds the ball 48”.

  Further, when a character 47 holds the ball 48 and another character 47 approaches the ball 48, the other character 47 and the ball 48 are associated with each other under a predetermined condition. In this way, the ball 48 held by the character 47 is taken by another character 47.

  In the present embodiment, in principle, any of the eleven characters 47A belonging to the first team is set as the operation target of the first player, and among the eleven characters 47B belonging to the second team. A case where any one of the above is set as an operation target of the second player will be described.

  During the match, the operation target of the first player is switched among the eleven characters 47A belonging to the first team. For example, among the 11 characters 47A belonging to the first team, the character 47A closest to the ball 48 is set as the operation target of the first player.

  Further, for example, when the first player presses a predetermined button, the operation target of the first player is changed to another character 47A among the characters 47A belonging to the first team. The operation target of the second player is also switched among the eleven characters 47B belonging to the second team, similarly to the operation target of the first player.

  Hereinafter, of the characters 47 belonging to each team, the character 47 that is the operation target of the player is referred to as an “operation target character”. In addition, among the characters 47 belonging to each team, the characters 47 other than the operation target character are referred to as “friend characters”.

  The operation target character moves based on the operation of the player. For example, the operation target character moves according to the movement instruction operation of the player. For example, when the operation target character holds the ball 48, the operation target character performs a dribbling action based on the operation of the player. For example, when the player performs a pass or shoot instruction operation, the operation target character performs a pass or shoot operation. Further, for example, when the player performs a predetermined faint operation, the operation target character performs a feint action.

  Further, even when a character 47 belonging to an opponent team of a player holds the ball 48, the operation target character moves based on the operation of the player. For example, the operation target character moves toward the character 47 holding the ball 48 in order to take the ball 48 based on the operation of the player.

  The operation target character is switched under a predetermined condition. For example, when the operation target character holding the ball 48 passes a teammate character belonging to the same team, the teammate character that has received the pass is switched to the operation target character.

  On the other hand, the ally character moves according to the operation of the computer. That is, the teammate character moves based on a predetermined algorithm. In other words, the teammate character operates according to AI (artificial intelligence). For example, when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds the ball 48 and the operation target character of the first team goes to take the ball, the teammate character of the first team performs an operation to take the ball. Based on the movement of the operation target character of the first team to support.

  In the game space 40, a virtual camera 49 (viewpoint) is set. A game screen representing a state in which the game space 40 is viewed from the virtual camera 49 is displayed on the display unit 32. For example, in order to always display the ball 48 on the game screen, the virtual camera 49 moves in the game space 40 based on the movement of the ball 48. In order to always display the operation target character on the game screen, the virtual camera 49 may move in the game space 40 based on the movement of the operation target character.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen. As shown in FIG. 4, a character 47, a first mark image 52, and a second mark image 54 are displayed on the game screen 50. The first mark image 52 is displayed above the operation target of the first player. The second mark image 54 is displayed above the operation target of the second player.

  The first and second players rely on the first mark image 52 and the second mark image 54 to move the operation target character. For example, when the second player is making a pass around the goal 44B associated with the second team, the first player operates the operation target character and aims to take the ball 48.

  Since the second player makes a pass in his team where many characters 47B belonging to the second team are arranged, the first player can play the game safely without generating a scoring event. Is possible. For example, if the second player generates a scoring event immediately after the start of the game and makes a pass within the team until the end of the game, the first player loses without touching the ball 48 during the game.

  In addition, for example, there may be a case where the second player plays a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game in which the character 47B holding the ball 48 is used to provoke the first player. For example, when the character 47B of the second team holds the ball, the character 47B continuously performs the feint action even though there is no character 47A of the first team in the vicinity, so that the second player The first player may be provoked.

  As described above, for example, in a soccer game, a player may play a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game. In particular, in the game system 1 as in the present embodiment, since the players are playing the game at a distance from each other, an actual soccer game is compared to the case where the players play the game facing each other. It is easy for game play that cannot occur. The game system 1 of the present embodiment is configured to deal with game play that cannot occur in an actual soccer game. Hereinafter, the present technology will be described in detail.

[5. Functions realized by the game system]
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing functions realized by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 5, in the game system 1, a game data storage unit 60, an operation target setting unit 62, a first character control unit 64, a second character control unit 66, a determination unit 68, and a limiting unit 70 are realized. . The functions described below are realized, for example, when the control unit 14 of the game apparatus 10 serving as a server operates according to programs read from the hard disk 26 and the optical disk 36.

[5-1. Game data storage unit]
The game data storage unit 60 is realized mainly by the main memory 16, the hard disk 26, and the optical disk 36. The game data storage unit 60 stores game data necessary for executing a soccer game.

  For example, model data of each object arranged in the game space 40 is stored in the game data storage unit 60. For example, motion data of various actions of the character 47 is stored in the game data storage unit 60. For example, parameters indicating the heights of various abilities of each character 47 are stored in the game data storage unit 60. For example, a parameter indicating the role (position) of each character 47 is stored in the game data storage unit 60.

[Game status data]
The game data storage unit 60 stores game situation data related to the game situation. The game situation data indicates the current situation of the game. For example, data indicating the current state of each character 47 (for example, position, posture, front direction, etc.) is stored in the game situation data. For example, data indicating the current state of the ball 48 (for example, position, moving direction, moving speed, etc.) is stored in the game situation data. For example, data indicating the current state of the virtual camera 49 (for example, position or line-of-sight direction) is stored in the game situation data.

  The game situation data is updated at predetermined time intervals. The content of the game situation data is updated, for example, according to an operation by a player or a predetermined algorithm. For example, the game situation data is updated based on a change in the action of the character 47 (for example, dribbling action, pass action, or shooting action). Further, the ball 48 moves by updating the state (for example, the position and the moving direction) of the ball 48 indicated by the game situation data based on the change in the action of the character 47.

[Data on play types]
Moreover, in this embodiment, the game data storage part 60 memorize | stores the play type data regarding the play type of a game play. The play type indicates the type (trend) of game play by the player, and the contents of game play are classified. That is, the play type data is used by the game system 1 to determine whether or not the game play of the player belongs to a predetermined play type.

  In the present embodiment, a case where the predetermined play type is a game play type related to the ball 48 will be described. That is, a case where the predetermined play type indicates the type of game play performed by the player when the character 47 belonging to the team operated by the player holds the ball will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of play type data. As shown in FIG. 6, for example, a play type of game play and a condition corresponding to this type of game play are associated with each other and stored in the play type data. As described above, the play type stored in the play type data is, for example, a type of game play that cannot occur in an actual soccer game using the ball 48 by the player.

  For example, it is determined whether or not the condition regarding the ball 48 stored in the play type data is satisfied based on the operation content of the player. When the condition regarding the ball 48 stored in the play type data is satisfied, it is determined that the play type game play corresponding to this condition has been performed. For example, in the data storage example shown in FIG. 6, if it is determined that “condition A” is satisfied, it is determined that the player is making a pass that cannot occur in an actual soccer game. Further, for example, when it is determined that “condition B” is satisfied, it is determined that the player is performing a provocation action that cannot occur in an actual soccer game using the ball 48.

  The condition stored in the play type data may be any condition determined based on the operation content of the player related to the ball 48. For example, in the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the condition stored in the play type data is a condition related to the player's operation related to the ball 48 among the player's operations performed during the determination target period. The determination target period is a predetermined period, for example, a period from a predetermined time before the current time to the current time.

  The condition related to the player's operation related to the ball 48 is a condition indicating, for example, whether or not the character 47 holding the ball 48 has performed a predetermined action by the player's operation. Further, for example, the condition related to the operation of the player related to the ball 48 may include a condition related to the place where the character 47 holding the ball 48 performs a predetermined action.

  For example, in the case of the data storage example shown in FIG. 6, “condition A” is a condition indicating whether or not a pass has been made more than the reference number of times by the own team of a certain team during the determination target period. Further, for example, “Condition B” indicates whether or not the character 47 that has played the role of the goalkeeper holds the ball 48 during the determination target period, and the character 47 has performed the feint action a predetermined number of times or more. It is the condition which shows.

  In addition to the above data, the game data storage unit 60 sets data indicating the character 47 holding the ball 48 at each time point indicated by the game situation data, or is set as the operation target character at that time point. Data for identifying the character 47 is also stored. Furthermore, data indicating the elapsed time of the game and the scoring status of both teams are also stored in the game data storage unit 60.

  The control unit 14 functions as means for acquiring various data (for example, game situation data) stored in the game data storage unit 60. Further, the control unit 14 functions as means for updating various data (for example, game situation data) stored in the game data storage unit 60. Further, the data stored in the game data storage unit 60 is not limited to the above example, and it is only necessary to store data necessary for the game apparatus 10 to execute the soccer game.

[5-2. Operation target setting section]
The operation target setting unit 62 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. The operation target setting unit 62 sets any one of the plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team as the operation target of the first player. For example, the operation target setting unit 62 sets the operation target character 47A of the first player among the operation target candidate characters 47A belonging to the first team.

  The operation target candidate is a character 47 that may be set as an operation target of the player among the characters 47 belonging to the team. For example, the operation target candidates are a plurality of characters 47 belonging to the team operated by the player, and are characters 47 that may be selected as a switching destination of the operation target of the player. The operation target setting unit 62 sets an operation target character based on the player's operation or game situation data.

  For example, the operation target setting unit 62 specifies the character 47 to be set as the operation target based on the player's operation input via the controller 30, and thus the operation target of the player among the operation target candidates. Set. That is, when the player performs a switching operation of the operation target character via the controller 30, the operation target character is switched to the character 47 indicated by the switching operation.

  Further, for example, the operation target setting unit 62 sets the operation target of the player among the operation target candidates based on the position of the ball 48 indicated by the game situation data or the position of the character 47 holding the ball 48. That is, for example, the operation target setting unit 62 sets the character 47 closest to the position of the ball 48 indicated by the game situation data or the position of the character 47 holding the ball 48 as the operation target of the player.

[5-3. First character control unit]
The first character control unit 64 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. The 1st character control part 64 controls the character set as the operation subject of the 1st player among a plurality of characters 47A which belong to the 1st team based on the operation of the 1st player. That is, the character 47 set as the operation target by the operation target setting unit 62 moves based on the player's operation. For example, the state (for example, position and posture) of the operation target character indicated by the game situation data is updated based on the player's operation, so that the operation target character moves according to the player's operation.

[5-4. Second character control unit]
The second character control unit 66 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. The second character control unit 66 controls a character (a friend character) that is not set as an operation target of the first player among a plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team based on the operation of the computer. For example, the teammate character moves based on the operation of the computer by updating the state (for example, position and posture) of the teammate character indicated by the game situation data based on a predetermined algorithm.

  When the character 47B belonging to the second team holds the ball 48, the second character control unit 66 mainly performs the following two types of control. For example, the first control is performed based on whether the positional relationship between the position of the operation target of the first player and the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48 satisfies a predetermined relationship. And the second control are properly used. For example, when the distance between the operation target of the first player and the character 47B holding the ball 48 is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, the first control is executed. That is, for example, when the distance between the operation target of the first player and the character 47B holding the ball 48 is greater than a predetermined distance, the second control is executed.

[First control]
For example, the second character control unit 66 controls the position of the teammate character belonging to the first team based on the position of the operation target of the first player. For example, the second character control unit 66 moves the teammate character so that the positional relationship with the operation target of the first player becomes a predetermined positional relationship. For example, the second character control unit 66 moves the teammate character so that the distance from the operation target of the first player is within a predetermined range.

  Further, for example, the second character control unit 66 determines a direction (for example, a direction indicated by the player movement instruction operation) determined based on the movement direction of the operation target of the first player (that is, the direction indicated by the player movement instruction operation). Move the ally character in a different direction.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the second character control unit 66 belongs to the first team when the operation target of the first player moves toward the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48. The teammate character is controlled such that the teammate character is positioned at a position other than the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48. In other words, in this case, the second character control unit 66 limits the movement of the teammate character belonging to the first team toward the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48. To do.

  For example, when the operation target of the first player moves toward the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48, the second character control unit 66 determines that the teammate character belonging to the first team The position of the teammate character is controlled so as not to be positioned on a line segment connecting the position of the target character and the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48.

  When the operation target of the first player is near the ball 48, it is conceivable that the first player operates the operation target character and actively takes the ball 48. Therefore, in the first control, the ally character Is controlled so as not to move in the same manner as the operation target character (not to actively take away the ball 48).

[Second control]
Further, for example, when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48), the second character control unit 66 determines the character 47A (that is, the teammate character) belonging to the first team. The position is controlled based on the position of the moving object or the position of the character 47B that holds the moving object.

  For example, the second character control unit 66 is configured so that the positional relationship between the position of the teammate character belonging to the first team and the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48 is a predetermined relationship. Controls the position of teammate characters. For example, the second character control unit 66 sets the ally character's position so that the position of the teammate character belonging to the first team and the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48 are equal to or less than a predetermined distance. Control the position.

  In other words, the position of the teammate character of the first team is such that the teammate character of the first team takes the ball 48 and holds the ball 48 from the character 47B of the second team holding the ball 48. Be controlled. In addition, for example, the second character control unit 66 controls the position of the teammate character so as to surround the position of the ball 48 or the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48.

  When the operation target of the first player is far from the ball 48, the first player cannot actively take the ball 48 by operating the operation target character. , Controlled to actively take the ball 48 away. That is, the first player can leave the ball 48 to the ally character.

  In the present embodiment, as a control method of the second character control unit 66, a first control method that does not actively take the ball 48 and a second control method that actively takes the ball 48 are taken. Although the control method has been described by way of example, the second character control unit 66 may control the teammate character based on a predetermined algorithm, and the teammate character control method is the above example. Not limited to.

[5-5. Judgment unit]
The determination unit 68 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. The determination unit 68 determines whether or not the game play of the second player when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48) belongs to a predetermined play type.

  For example, the determination unit 68 determines whether or not a game play of a certain player belongs to a predetermined play type based on the operation content of the player in the determination target period. That is, the determination unit 68 determines whether or not a game play of a certain player belongs to a predetermined play type based on the action (behavior) of the operation target character in the determination target period.

  For example, the determination unit 68 determines whether or not the operation content of the second player in the determination target period satisfies a condition associated with a predetermined play type related to the ball 48, whereby the game play by the second player is predetermined. It is determined whether or not it belongs to the play type. For example, the determination unit 68 compares the operation content of the player in the determination target period with the condition regarding the ball 48 stored in the play type data, thereby determining whether or not the game play by the player belongs to a predetermined play type. Determine whether.

  In the present embodiment, when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48), the determination unit 68 determines that the character 47B holding the moving object has a predetermined area (for example, The game play of the second player in the case where the character belonging to the second team holds the moving object by determining whether or not the state of being in the second team's own team) continues for a predetermined period. It is determined whether or not it belongs to a predetermined play type. That is, here, a case where the predetermined play type is a type in which the player makes a pass that cannot occur in a real soccer game by himself will be described as an example.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the situation of the game space 40. In FIG. 7, eleven characters 47A belonging to the first team are described as characters 47A _{1 to} 47A ₁₁ , respectively. Here, the operation target of the first player, a case is character 47A _1. On the other hand, the eleven characters 47B belonging to the second team are referred to as characters 47B _{1 to} 47B ₁₁ , respectively. Here, the operation target of the second player, the case is a character 47B _1.

In the situation shown in FIG. 7, the character 47 </ b> B ₁ of the second team holds the ball 48. That is, the operation target of the second player holds the ball 48. When the ball 48 is in the second team's own team, the teammate characters (characters 47B _{1 to} 47B ₁₁ ) of the second team are controlled so as not to move with respect to the goal 44A, for example, and stay in the own team. On the other hand, in this case, the teammate characters of the first team execute the first control, and do not actively try to pick up the ball 48 but operate to support the operation target of the first player.

In this situation, the first player to take the ball 48 toward the character 47B _1, it is conceivable to move the operation target character. For example, when the operation target of the first player (that is, the character 47A ₁ ) moves toward the character 47B ₁ , the second player faces the character 47B ₂ from the character 47B ₁ so that the ball 48 is not taken away. Let the pass. In this case, character 47B ₂ that has received the path is switched as an operation target of the second player.

In this case, the first player will continue to add to the ball 48, the character 47A ₁ is an operation subject character, it is conceivable to move toward the character 47B _2. However, if the second player passes again toward the teammate character of the second team in his team, the first player cannot take away the ball 48.

  In this way, the game play in which the team operated by the second player continues to pass within the player's team corresponds to the game play belonging to the predetermined play type. That is, the “condition A” stored in the play type data shown in FIG. 6 is a condition indicating whether or not the player has continued to pass more than the reference number of times within the team to be operated within the determination target period. Determination by the determination unit 68 is performed by comparing the condition stored in the play type data with the operation content of the player.

  In addition, the determination method by the determination part 68 is not restricted to said example. Although described in detail in the modification, the determination unit 68 may determine whether or not the game play of the player belongs to a predetermined play type based on the operation content of the player. In addition, for example, the determination by the determination unit 68 may be performed in each game apparatus 10 included in the game system 1, and the determination result may be transmitted to the game apparatus 10 serving as a server.

[5-6. Restriction section]
The limiting unit 70 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. Based on the determination result by the determination unit 68, the restriction unit 70 restricts a part or all of the characters 47A among the plurality of characters belonging to the first team from being set as the operation target of the first player. Accordingly, the second character control unit 66 controls the part or all of the characters 47A.

  For example, the restriction unit 70 cancels a part or all of the characters 47A among the plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team from the operation target candidates, so that the part or all of the characters 47A become the operation target characters. To be set as.

  In the present embodiment, the restriction unit 70 determines that the game play of the second player when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48) belongs to a predetermined play type. A case will be described in which the setting of all the characters 47A belonging to the first team as the operation target of the first player is restricted.

  That is, because all the characters 47 belonging to the first team are released from the operation target candidates due to the restriction of the restriction unit 70, the first player cannot operate the characters 47 belonging to the first team. That is, in this embodiment, the control of all the characters 47A belonging to the first team is executed by the second character control unit 66.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game space 40 when the control by the restriction unit 70 is performed. As shown in FIG. 8, the operation target of the first player disappears, and the teammate character of the first team is controlled by the second control method of the second character control unit 66. That is, all of the first team of ally characters (excluding the role character 47A ₁₁ goalkeeper) is, in order to seize the balls 48, moves based on the position of the ball 48. By executing the control of the teammate character in this way, it is possible to prevent the game play from continuing that cannot occur in an actual soccer game in which the second player continues to hold the ball 48 unilaterally. .

  In the present embodiment, the case where the control of all the characters 47A belonging to the first team is executed by the second character control unit 66 will be described. However, the control method of the limiting unit 70 is the above example. Not limited. Although described in detail in a modification, the setting of the operation target setting unit 62 may be limited for some characters 47A that are determined based on a predetermined method among the characters 47A belonging to the first team. .

[6. Processing executed in game system]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in the game system 1. Here, the operation of the game apparatus 10 serving as a server will be described. The process of FIG. 9 is executed by the control unit 14 operating according to the program read from the optical disc 36 and the control unit 14 operating according to the program read from the optical disc 36.

  As shown in FIG. 9, first, the control unit 14 acquires the operation content of the player (S101). In S101, the operation details of the player in the game device 10A that plays the role of the server and the operation details of the player in the game device 10B that does not play the role of the server are acquired. The former is acquired based on the detection signal from the controller 30, and the latter is acquired via the communication interface 28.

  The control unit 14 determines whether or not the character 47B belonging to the second team holds the ball 48 (S102). When it is determined that the character 47B belonging to the second team holds the ball 48 (S102; Y), the control unit 14 determines whether or not the game play of the second player belongs to a predetermined play type. (S103).

  In S103, for example, it is determined whether or not the operation content of the second player in the determination target period satisfies a condition regarding the ball 48 stored in the play type data. That is, the determination of S103 is performed based on the operation content of the second player in the current or past.

  When it is determined that the game play of the second player belongs to the predetermined play type (S103; Y), the control unit 14 releases all the characters 47A belonging to the first team from the operation target candidates, The setting to the operation target of the player is restricted (S104). In this case, all the characters 47A belonging to the first team are controlled based on a predetermined algorithm. That is, the character 47A that is relatively close to the ball 48 is released from the operation target of the first player. Accordingly, in the case of the present embodiment, all the characters 47A belonging to the first team operate by the second control, so that the teammate characters of the first team operate to take the ball 48.

  When it is not determined that the character 47B belonging to the second team holds the ball 48 (S102; N), the processes of S103 and S104 are not executed.

  Next, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the restriction release condition in S104 is satisfied (S105). The cancellation condition may be a predetermined condition. For example, the release condition is whether or not a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds, which may be variable depending on the play type and the game situation) has elapsed since the restriction in S104 was performed, or the ball 48. May be taken by the character 47A belonging to the first team.

  When it is determined that the release condition is satisfied (S105; Y), the control unit 14 releases the setting restriction in S104 (S106).

  The control unit 14 determines whether or not to switch the operation target of the first player (S107). In S107, a determination is made based on whether the operation content acquired in S101 indicates an instruction to switch the operation target or whether the game situation data is a predetermined situation. In addition, when the restriction | limiting of the switching in S104 is not cancelled | released, for example, in S107, it determines with not performing switching.

  When it is determined to switch the operation target of the first player (S107; Y), the control unit 14 switches the operation target of the first player among the operation target candidates (S108).

  Next, the control unit 14 updates the game situation data (S109). For example, the game situation data is updated so that the operation target character is moved based on an operation by the player and the teammate character is moved based on a predetermined algorithm. Further, for example, the game situation data is updated so that the information for identifying the operation target character becomes the operation target character switched in S108. The updated game situation data is transmitted to the other game apparatus 10 via the network.

  The control unit 14 updates the game screen 50 based on the game situation data updated in S109 (S110). Also in other game devices 10 that have received the game situation data updated in S109, the display content of the game screen 50 is updated based on the received game situation data.

  The control unit 14 determines whether an end condition is satisfied (S111). The termination condition may be a predetermined condition. For example, the end condition is whether or not the end time of the game has come.

  If it is determined that the end condition is satisfied (S111; Y), the process ends. If it is determined that the end condition is not satisfied (S111; N), the process returns to S101.

  According to the game system 1 described above, when the game play of the second player belongs to a predetermined play type, all the characters 47A belonging to the first team are released from the operation target candidates. That is, all the characters 47A belonging to the first team are placed under computer control. Since the operation target of the first player disappears, all these characters 47A are controlled by the second control method of the second character control unit 66, and operate to take the ball 48. Therefore, if a player is playing a game that cannot occur in a real soccer game using the ball 48, the player cannot play a game in a real soccer game using the ball 48. It becomes difficult to continue playing.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  (1) For example, in the embodiment, a case has been described in which the restriction unit 70 restricts all the characters 47 belonging to the first team from being set as the operation target of the first player by the operation target setting unit 62. However, only a part of the characters 47 belonging to the first team may be restricted from being set as the operation target of the first player by the operation target setting unit 62.

  (1-1) For example, the restriction unit 70 is configured when the game play of the second player belongs to a predetermined play type when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48). Among the plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team, a part or all of the characters 47A selected based on the position of the moving object or the position of the character 47B holding the moving object are the operation targets of the first player. By restricting the setting, the second character control unit 68 controls the selected part or all of the characters 47A.

  The character 47A selected based on the position of the ball 48 is a character 47A whose positional relationship with the ball 48 satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, a character 47A whose distance from the ball 48 is within a predetermined range. .

  The character 47A selected based on the position of the character 47B holding the ball 48 is a character 47A whose positional relationship with the character 47B holding the ball 48 satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, holding the ball 48. The character 47A is within a predetermined distance from the character 47B.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a situation when the control of the limiting unit 70 according to the modification example (1-1) is performed. As shown in FIG. 10, for example, among the characters 47A belonging to the first team, the distance between the character 47B ₁ to hold the position or the ball 48 of the ball 48 is within a predetermined range (e.g., distance r ₁ within) The characters 47A ₁ , 47A ₂ , 47A ₃ are restricted from being set as the operation target of the first player.

  According to the modified example (1-1), the character 47A located relatively close to the ball 48 is restricted from being set as an operation target. Since the first player is restricted from operating the character 47A near the ball 48, the teammate characters of the first team are controlled by the second control method. That is, since the teammate characters of the first team move to actively take the ball 48, a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type cannot occur in an actual soccer game involving the ball 48. It becomes difficult to continue such game play.

  (1-2) Moreover, the restriction | limiting part 70 is a case where the game play of the 2nd player in case the character 47B which belongs to the 2nd team is holding the moving object (for example, ball | bowl 48) belongs to a predetermined play type. Among the plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team, with respect to a part or all of the characters 47A selected based on the position of the character 47B set as the operation target of the second player, the operation target of the first player The second character control unit 66 controls the selected part or all of the characters 47A.

  The character 47A selected based on the operation target character 47B of the second player has a predetermined positional relationship (for example, a distance) with the current operation target character 47B of the second player (for example, within a predetermined distance). ) Character 47A.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a situation when the control of the limiting unit 70 according to the modified example (1-2) is performed. As shown in FIG. 11, for example, among the characters 47A belonging to the first team, the character 47A ₁ distance between the character 47B ₁ of the operation target of the second player is within a predetermined range (e.g., distance _{r 2} or less) for 47A _2, be set as the operation target of the first player is limited.

  According to the modification (1-2), the character 47A positioned relatively close to the operation target of the second player is restricted from being set as the operation target. The second player plays a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game using the ball 48, and the first player is restricted from operating the character 47A near the ball 48. The teammate characters are controlled by the second control method. That is, since the teammate characters of the first team move to actively take the ball 48, a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type cannot occur in an actual soccer game involving the ball 48. It becomes difficult to continue such game play.

  (1-3) Further, for example, the restriction unit 70 indicates that the game play of the second player when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48) belongs to a predetermined play type. In this case, by restricting that a part or all of the characters 47A selected based on the predetermined area among the plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team are set as the operation targets of the first player, A part or all of the selected characters 47A may be controlled by the second character control unit 66.

  The character 47A selected based on the predetermined area is a character 47A whose positional relationship with the position of the predetermined area (for example, in the second goal area or the enemy team of the first team) satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the character 47A has a distance from a predetermined area within a predetermined range.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a situation when the control of the limiting unit 70 according to the modified example (1-3) is performed. As shown in FIG. 12, for example, among the characters 47A belonging to the first team, for the characters 47A ₁ and 47A ₂ whose distance from the goal 44B is within a predetermined range (for example, within a distance r ₃ ), the first player It is limited to be set as the operation target.

  According to the modified example (1-3), the character 47A near the predetermined area is restricted from being set as an operation target. When the second player makes a pass in the vicinity of the predetermined area, the first player is restricted from operating the character 47A near the ball 48. It is controlled by the control method. That is, since the teammate characters of the first team move to actively take the ball 48, a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type cannot occur in an actual soccer game involving the ball 48. It becomes difficult to continue such game play.

  Although the case where the predetermined area is the goal 44B has been described, the predetermined area may be an enemy team of the first team. That is, the character 47A in the enemy team may be restricted from being set as the operation target of the first player.

  (1-4) Also, for example, as in the embodiment, when a plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team are each assigned a role in the game, the restricting unit 70 is a character belonging to the second team. When the game play of the second player when the 47B holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48) belongs to a predetermined play type, a predetermined role is given among the plurality of characters 47 belonging to the first team. The second character control unit 66 controls the character 47A to which the predetermined role is given by restricting the character 47A being set as the operation target of the first player. Good.

  That is, the restriction unit 70 restricts only the character 47 in a specific position (for example, forward) from being set as the operation target of the first player by the operation target setting unit 62. Further, for example, the restriction unit 70 sets operation target candidates so that only the character 47 in a specific position (eg, defender) can be set as the operation target of the first player by the operation target setting unit 62. .

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a situation when the control of the limiting unit 70 according to the modified example (1-4) is performed. As shown in FIG. 13, for example, among the characters 47A belonging to the first team, a character 47A that plays the forward role (for example, characters 47A ₁ and 47A ₂ ) is set as the operation target of the first player. Is limited.

  According to the modified example (1-4), the character 47A that assumes a predetermined position is restricted from being set as an operation target. That is, the second player makes a pass around the character 47A that assumes a predetermined position, and the first player is restricted from operating the character 47A near the ball 48. The teammate character is controlled by the second control method. That is, since the teammate characters of the first team move to actively take the ball 48, a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type cannot occur in an actual soccer game involving the ball 48. It becomes difficult to continue such game play.

  (1-5) Further, for example, the restriction unit 70 indicates that the game play of the second player belongs to a predetermined play type when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds a moving object (for example, the ball 48). In this case, among a plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team, some or all of the characters 47A selected based on the method associated with the predetermined play type are set as the operation target of the first player. The second character control unit 66 may control the selected part or all of the characters 47A.

  In this case, for example, the game data storage unit 60 stores a predetermined play type and the restriction method of the restriction unit 70 in association with each other. The control method of the limiting unit 70 is, for example, the method described in the embodiment and the modified examples (1-1) to (1-4).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an association between a predetermined play type and a restriction method of the restriction unit 70. When a game play belonging to a predetermined play type is performed, an operation target candidate restriction method is specified by association in FIG. 14 for the team operated by the player who has performed this game play.

  For example, when the player uses the ball 48 to make a pass that cannot occur in an actual soccer game, the number of operation target candidates is reduced based on the method of the embodiment. For example, when the second player operates a pass that cannot occur in an actual soccer game, the operation target of the first player is limited based on the method of the modified example (1-1). For example, when the operation target of the second player makes a provocation using the ball 48, the operation target of the first player is limited based on the method of the modified example (1-3).

  According to the modification (1-5), the restriction method of the restriction unit 70 is changed according to the play type of the game play performed by the player. Therefore, for the player who has played a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game, the restriction unit 70 uses an optimum method according to the content of the game play that cannot occur in this actual soccer game. A limiting method can be determined.

  In the above description, the case where the play type is associated with any of the embodiments and the modified examples (1-1) to (1-4) has been described. However, the play type is associated with the play type. The control method may be a combination of two or more of the embodiments and the modified examples (1-1) to (1-4). That is, at least one of the methods described in the embodiment and the modified examples (1-1) to (1-4) may be executed by the restriction unit 70.

  (2) Further, for example, in the embodiment, a case has been described in which the determination unit 68 determines whether or not the game play of the player belongs to a predetermined play type based on the operation content of the player and the play type data. The determination method by the determination unit 68 is not limited to the example of the embodiment. The determination unit 68 may determine whether or not the game play of the player belongs to a predetermined play type based on the operation content of the player in the determination target period.

  (2-1) For example, the determination unit 68 calculates a play evaluation value for evaluating the player's game play, and determines whether or not the player's game play belongs to a predetermined play type based on the play evaluation value. You may make it do. In other words, the play evaluation value is used as an index value indicating whether or not the player is playing a ball 48 that cannot occur in an actual soccer game.

  In this modification, the determination unit 68 determines the play evaluation value corresponding to the game play of the second player when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds the ball 48 within the determination target period. A case will be described in which means for calculating based on the operation content of two players is included. In this case, when the play evaluation value corresponding to the second player falls within a predetermined range, the determination unit 68 determines that the game play by the second player belongs to the predetermined play type. The play evaluation value may be calculated for each player, for example, and stored as play evaluation value data.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a data storage example of play evaluation value data. As shown in FIG. 15, in the play evaluation value data, a play type, a player, and a play evaluation value are stored in association with each other. The play type is the same as the play type stored in the play type data. That is, the play evaluation value data stores a play evaluation value for each play type.

  For example, if the player does not perform an operation that cannot occur in an actual soccer game using the ball 48 during the determination target period, the player's play evaluation value increases. Further, for example, when the player performs an operation that cannot occur in an actual soccer game using the ball 48, the player's play evaluation value decreases. The degree of increase and decrease of the play evaluation value may be variable according to the operation of the player. Further, which play evaluation value among the play evaluation values stored in the play evaluation value data is changed based on the operation content of the player may be determined based on the operation content.

  For example, the determination unit 68 determines whether the operation of the operation target character that operates based on the operation content of the player is a predetermined operation related to the ball 48 (for example, dribbling, shooting, passing, etc.). The determination unit 68 changes the player's play evaluation value when the operation of the operation target character is a predetermined operation related to the ball 48.

  Further, in this variation, the play type data (FIG. 6) stores a condition relating to a play evaluation value indicating whether or not the player is playing a game belonging to a predetermined play type. For example, when the play evaluation value calculated based on the current and / or past behavior of the operation target character is within a predetermined range, it is determined that a game play belonging to a predetermined play type is being performed.

  As described above, the evaluation value of the player varies based on whether or not the player has performed a predetermined operation. For example, if the play evaluation value is equal to or higher than a reference value, the player does not play a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game, and therefore it is determined that the game play of the player does not belong to a predetermined play type. The On the other hand, if the play evaluation value is less than the reference value, it is determined that the player's game play belongs to a predetermined play type because the player is playing a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game. .

  (2-2) In addition, for example, the determination unit 68 uses an index value (for example, the retention rate (dominance rate) of the ball 48, the number of shots) calculated based on the game situation data whose contents are updated by the operation of the player. Based on whether or not the number of passes, the moving area of the character 47 holding the ball 48, and the information indicating the body direction or moving direction of the character 47 holding the ball 48) are within the reference range. It may be determined whether or not it belongs to a predetermined play type. In this case, the condition stored in the play type data stores a condition indicating whether or not the index value is within a predetermined range.

  (3) Further, the game screen 50 displayed on the game device 10A operated by the first player and the game screen 50 displayed on the game device 10B operated by the second player may be the same, May be different. Further, it may be displayed on the game screen 50 that the control by the restriction unit 70 is being performed.

  For example, the game system 1 includes display control means for displaying the game screen 50 on each of the display units 32 of the plurality of game apparatuses 10. When the restriction by the restriction unit 70 is performed, the display control unit notifies the first player and / or the second player that the restriction by the restriction unit 70 is performed. For example, when the restriction by the restriction unit 70 is performed, in the game screen 50 corresponding to the first player and / or the game screen 50 corresponding to the second player, of the plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team A display output for notifying the first player and / or the second player that a part or all of the characters 47A are restricted from being set as an operation target of the first player is performed.

  For example, a message indicating that the restriction by the restriction unit 70 is performed on the game screen 50 of the first player or the second player is displayed. For example, the display control means of the game system 1 may change the brightness of the game screen 50, blink the game screen 50, or display a predetermined index (icon) on the game screen 50.

  For example, a first player playing a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game takes the ball 48 from a second player playing a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game. Therefore, it is possible to grasp on the game screen 50 that the control for this is being executed. Also, for example, a second player who has played a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game can recognize that his game play cannot occur in an actual soccer game. .

  Further, for example, the display control unit of the game system 1 is restricted from being set as the operation target of the first player among the plurality of characters 47A belonging to the first team when the restriction unit 70 performs the restriction. The first character and / or the second player may be notified of the character 47A being played. That is, when the restriction by the restriction unit 70 is performed, setting the operation target of the first player on the game screen 50 corresponding to the first player and / or the game screen 50 corresponding to the second player is restricted. A display output for guiding the current character 47A to the first player and / or the second player may be performed.

  For example, information identifying the character 47A excluded from the operation target candidates by the restriction unit 70 is displayed on the game screen 50, whereby the first player grasps which character 47A cannot be operated. be able to.

  In addition, for example, the display form of the character 47 excluded from the operation target candidates by the restriction unit 70 may be made different from the display form of the character 47 as the operation target candidate. For example, the brightness of the character 47 excluded from the operation target candidates may be changed, blinked, or a predetermined image may be displayed around the character 47. By performing the display output as described above, the first player can play the game while considering the character 47 that cannot be selected as the operation target.

  (4) In the above embodiment, as an example of a game play that cannot occur in an actual soccer game, a game play in which a pass is made within the team has been described as an example. Is a game play relating to the ball 48 and may be a predetermined type of game play, and the predetermined play type is not limited to the above example.

  The predetermined play type may be a game play that the game creator thinks cannot occur in an actual soccer game among the game plays related to the ball 48 performed by the player. The predetermined play type may be a game play that the determination unit 68 can determine based on the operation content of the player. For example, the predetermined play type may be a game play in which a ball 48 is used to provoke an opponent.

  (5) In the above embodiment, the case has been described in which the operation target candidates of the second player are limited. However, when the first player plays a game that cannot occur in an actual soccer game. Alternatively, restriction of the operation target candidates of the first player may be executed. For example, although the case where the 1st player and the 2nd player play a battle | competition was demonstrated, you may make it a some player play a battle. In this case, it is determined whether or not a game play belonging to a predetermined play type has been performed for each of the plurality of players.

  (6) For example, the game system 1 may change the parameters of the character 47 belonging to the team operated by the player who is playing a game belonging to a predetermined play type. For example, the game system 1 may change the parameters so as to decrease the ability value of the character 47.

  (7) In the embodiment, the case where any one of the game apparatuses 10 included in the game system 1 plays the role of a server has been described, but the game system 1 may include a game server. Good. In this case, the game apparatus 10 operated by each player transmits the operation content to the game server. The game server that acquires the operation content from each game device 10 performs the same operation as the game device 10 in the embodiment.

  The game server updates the game situation data based on the operation content collected from each game device 10. The updated game situation data is distributed to each game device 10. Each game device 10 displays a game screen based on the distributed game situation data. Thus, the game server may control the game executed in the game system 1 in an integrated manner.

  In addition, for example, in the embodiment, the case where any one of the game devices 10 plays the role of a game server has been described. However, each game device 10 transmits data indicating the operation content of the player. Also good. In this case, each game device 10 updates the game situation data by acquiring the operation contents of other players via the network. The game situation data updated in each game apparatus 10 may be periodically matched so that the contents are matched.

  In the embodiment, the case where the game system 1 includes a plurality of game devices 10 has been described, but the game system 1 may be a single game device 10. In this case, the first player and the second player face each other using the controller 30 included in the same game device 10.

  (8) Moreover, although the case where the soccer game was performed in the game system 1 was demonstrated, in the game system 1, the 1st team operated by the 1st player and the 2nd team operated by the 2nd player, It is sufficient to execute a game in which a player competes in a competition using a moving object. In addition, for example, a basketball game, an ice hockey game, or the like may be executed. Further, the moving object is not limited to the ball, and may be a pack or the like.
