The control unit 14 determines the game operation of the player based on the operation signal.

[4. Game executed in game system]
In the game system 1, a game in which a character group (for example, a team) operated by one or more players and a character group operated by an opponent of the one or more players is executed.

  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 teammate character operates according to a predetermined algorithm. For example, when the character 47B belonging to the second team holds the ball 48 in the vicinity of the goal 44B associated with the second team, the teammate character of the first team should prepare for the attack of the second team. The ball 48 is controlled so as to stay on its own side without taking the ball 48. In this case, for example, the teammate character of the second team is controlled so as to stay on his own side so that the ball 48 is not taken away by the first team.

  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 character of the first player. The second mark image 54 is displayed above the operation target character 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. However, when the first player's teammate character is controlled to stay on his own team without going to take the ball 48, the first player cannot easily take the ball.

  On the other hand, 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 safely play the game without generating a scoring event. It becomes possible to do. 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 order to prevent the continuation of the malicious game play as described above, the game apparatus 10 controls the teammate characters of the first team so that all of the teammate characters belonging to the first team gather around the ball 48. It is also possible. However, when the teammate character of the first team is controlled in this way, the inside of the first team becomes thin, and there is a possibility of receiving an attack (counter attack) of the second team.

  In addition, for example, a case where the second player plays a malicious game that provokes the first player may be considered. 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 malicious game. In particular, in the game system 1 as in the present embodiment, since the players are playing the game at a place away from each other, the game play is more vigorous than when the players play the game face-to-face. Likely to happen. In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when a certain player plays a malicious game, the number of characters 47 that can be selected as an operation target of the player is reduced. 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 content acquisition unit 62, an operation target switching unit 64, a determination unit 66, and a candidate control unit 68 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.

  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. The play type stored in the play type data is, for example, a malicious game play type by the player.

  For example, it is determined whether or not the condition stored in the play type data is satisfied based on the operation content of the player. When the condition 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 illustrated in FIG. 6, when it is determined that “condition A” is satisfied, it is determined that the player is making a malicious pass. Further, for example, when it is determined that “condition B” is satisfied, it is determined that the player is performing a malicious provocation.

  The condition stored in the play type data may be a condition determined based on the operation content of the player. 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 performed during the determination target period. The condition related to the player's operation is, for example, a condition indicating whether or not the operation target character has performed a predetermined action by the player's operation. Further, for example, the condition related to the player's operation may include a condition related to a place where the operation target character performs a predetermined action. The determination target period is a predetermined period, for example, a period from a predetermined time before the current time to the current time.

  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 content acquisition section]
The operation content acquisition unit 62 is realized mainly by the control unit 14, the input / output processing unit 20, the communication interface 28, and the controller 30. The operation content acquisition unit 62 acquires the operation content of one or more players. For example, the operation content acquisition unit 62 acquires the operation content of one or more players based on the operation signal input from the controller 30. Further, for example, the operation content acquisition unit 62 acquires operation information of one or more players by acquiring operation information indicating an operation performed by a player of another game device 10 via the communication interface 28.

[5-3. Operation target switching unit]
The operation target switching unit 64 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. The operation target switching unit 64 includes one or a plurality of operation target candidate characters 47 belonging to a character group (for example, a second team) operated by one or a plurality of players (for example, a second player). The player's operation target character is switched.

  The operation target candidate is a character 47 that should 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 the characters 47 to be selected as a switching destination of the operation target of the player. The operation target switching unit 64 switches the operation target character based on the player's operation or game situation data.

  For example, the operation target switching unit 64 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. Switch. 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 switching unit 64 switches 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 switching unit 64 switches the player's operation target to 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.

  The character 47 set as the operation target by the operation target switching unit 64 moves based on the operation of the player. That is, for example, by updating the state (for example, position and posture) of the operation target character indicated by the game situation data based on the operation of the player, the operation target character is operated according to the operation of the player.

  On the other hand, the teammate character operates by updating the teammate character state indicated by the game situation data according to a predetermined algorithm.

[5-4. Judgment unit]
The determination unit 66 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. The determination unit 66 determines whether or not the game play by one or more players (for example, the second player) belongs to a predetermined play type. For example, the determination unit 66 determines whether or not the game play by the player belongs to a predetermined play type based on the operation content of the player in the determination target period. For example, the determination unit 66 determines whether or not a game play of a certain player belongs to a predetermined play type based on the operation (behavior) of the operation target character that is operated by the operation of the player.

  In the present embodiment, the determination unit 66 determines whether the operation content of one or more players (for example, the second player) in the determination target period satisfies a condition associated with a predetermined play type. Thus, it is determined whether or not the game play by one or a plurality of players belongs to a predetermined play type. For example, the determination unit 66 determines whether or not the game play by the player belongs to a predetermined play type by comparing the operation contents of the player in the determination target period with the conditions stored in the play type data. To do.

  Here, a case where the predetermined play type is a type in which the player makes a malicious pass 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 character in 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 character in 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 character 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 are controlled so as not to move with respect to the goal 44B but to stay on their own side.

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 character of the first player (that is, the character 47A ₁ ) moves toward the character 47B ₁ , the second player changes the character 47B ₁ to the character 47B ₂ so that the ball 48 is not taken away. Let the pass towards. In this case, character 47B ₂ that has received the path is switched as the operation target character 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 66 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 66 is not restricted to said example. Although described in detail in the modification, the determination unit 66 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 66 may be performed in each game apparatus 10, and the determination result may be transmitted to the game apparatus 10 serving as a server.

[5-5. Candidate control unit]
The candidate control unit 68 is realized mainly by the control unit 14. The candidate control unit 68 belongs to a character group (for example, a second team) operated by one or a plurality of players when game play by one or a plurality of players (for example, a second player) belongs to a predetermined play type. The number of operation target candidates to be reduced is reduced.

  That is, when a player's game play belongs to a predetermined play type, the candidate control unit 68 limits the number of operation target candidates for this player. For example, the candidate control unit 68 reduces the number of operation target candidates by excluding one or more of the plurality of characters 47 set as operation target candidates from the operation target candidates.

  In the present embodiment, when the candidate control unit 68 has a game play by one or more players (for example, a second player) belonging to a predetermined play type, a character group (for example, operated by one or more players) (for example, The case where the number of operation target candidates is reduced by excluding, from the operation target candidates, the character 47 determined based on the current operation target of one or more players among the characters 47 belonging to the second team). To do.

  The character 47 determined based on the current operation target may be the current operation target character 47 itself, or the positional relationship (for example, distance) with the current operation target character 47 is a predetermined relationship (for example, The character 47 may be within a predetermined distance. In addition, for example, the character 47 determined based on the current operation target may be a character 47 that can be selected as a partner to which the character 47 passes.

  “Exclude the character 47 from the operation target candidates” means to release the character 47 set as the operation target candidates from the operation target candidates. That is, the character 47 excluded from an operation target candidate of a certain player is restricted so as not to be set as the operation target of this player.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the game space 40 after the control by the candidate control unit 68 is performed. 8, in the state shown in FIG. 7, when the ball 48 from the character 47B ₁ to the character 47B ₂ is passed, are examples of when the game play by the second player is determined to belong to a predetermined play type .

Normally, the character 47B ₂ that has received the path is set as the operation target character, the case shown in FIG. 8, characters 47B ₂ that has received the path are excluded from the operation target candidates. That is, the character 47B ₂ are not set as the operation subject character is set as ally characters.

In this case, character 47B ₂ that has received the path, for example, are controlled so as to move toward the goal 44A. Further, for example, character 47B ₂ that has received the path is controlled to the path toward a character 47B that are the goal 44A side.

As described above, the number of operation target candidate characters 47 of the second player decreases. For example, the character 47B ₁ and character 47B ₂ are excluded from the operation target candidates. Information for identifying the character 47 excluded from the operation target candidates is stored in the game data storage unit 60, for example.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing information for identifying the operation target candidate character 47. For example, information for identifying the character 47 is associated with information indicating whether or not the character 47 is set as an operation target candidate for the player. In the case illustrated in FIG. 9, for example, the number of operation target candidates for the first player has not decreased, but the character 47B ₁ and the character 47B ₂ are excluded from the operation target candidates for the second player. The number of has been reduced. For example, the operation subject character of the second player character 47B ₁ and character 47B ₂ other than the character 47B (e.g., character _{47B 10)} is set to.

  As the number of operation target candidates decreases as in the present embodiment, the second player cannot hold the ball 48. That is, since the teammate character holding the ball 48 is controlled to move toward the goal 44A, the first player is given an opportunity to take the ball 48. That is, it is possible to prevent the vicious game play from being continued by the second player.

  Note that the method of reducing the number of operation target candidates by the candidate control unit 68 is not limited to the above example. Although described in detail in a later-described modification, the candidate control unit 68 may reduce the number of operation target candidates for players belonging to a predetermined play type.

[6. Processing executed in game system]
FIG. 10 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 processing in FIG. 10 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. 10, 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 control unit 14 determines whether or not the game play of the player belongs to a predetermined play type (S102). In S102, for example, it is determined whether or not the operation content of the player in the determination target period satisfies a condition stored in the play type data. That is, the determination in S102 is performed based on the operation content of the current or past player.

  When it is determined that the game play of the player belongs to the predetermined play type (S102; Y), the control unit 14 reduces the number of operation target candidates of the team operated by the player who played the game play belonging to the predetermined play type. (S103).

  For example, when the game play of the second player belongs to a predetermined play type, the control unit 14 releases the current operation target character of the second player from the operation target of the second player, and makes this character 47 the second player. It is restricted so that it is not set as an operation target. That is, for example, when the current operation target character of the second player holds the ball 48, the character 47B holding the ball 48 is released from the operation target and set as a teammate character.

  Next, the control unit 14 determines whether or not a certain period (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed since the number of operation target candidates decreased in S103 (S104). This period may be variable depending on, for example, the play type and the game situation.

  If it is not determined that the fixed period has elapsed (S104; N), the process proceeds to S106. When it is determined that the certain period has elapsed (S104; Y), the control unit 14 restores the number of operation target candidates (S105). For example, in S105, the character 47 released from the operation target candidate is set as the operation target candidate.

  The control unit 14 determines whether or not to switch the operation target of the player (S106). In S106, the determination is made based on whether or not the operation content acquired in S101 indicates an instruction to switch the operation target, or whether or not the game situation data is a predetermined situation.

  When it is determined to switch the operation target of the player (S106; Y), the control unit 14 performs switching of the operation target of the player among the operation target candidates (S107).

  Next, the control unit 14 updates the game situation data (S108). 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 S107. 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 S108 (S109). Also in other game apparatuses 10 that have received the game situation data updated in S108, 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 (S110). 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 (S110; Y), the process ends. If it is determined that the end condition is not satisfied (S110; N), the process returns to S101.

  According to the game system 1 described above, when the player's game play belongs to a predetermined play type, the number of operation target candidates for the player decreases. Accordingly, when a player is playing a malicious game while switching a plurality of operation targets, the number of characters 47 that can be operated by the player is reduced, so it is difficult for this player to continue the malicious game play. become. That is, a penalty can be given to a player who is playing a malicious game.

  Further, by excluding the character 47 determined based on the current operation target of the player from the operation target candidates, it becomes difficult for the player to continue the predetermined play type game play using the character 47. Therefore, it becomes difficult for a player who is playing a malicious game to continue this malicious game play.

  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 above embodiment, the case where the candidate control unit 68 excludes the character 47 determined based on the operation target of the current player from the operation target candidates has been described. You may make it reduce the number of operation object candidates by another method.

  (1-1) For example, when the game play by one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) belongs to a predetermined play type, the candidate control unit 68 (for example, a character group operated by one or a plurality of players (for example, By excluding the character 47 determined based on the position of the moving object (for example, the ball 48) or the position of the character 47 holding the moving object from the operation target candidates among the characters 47 belonging to the second team) You may make it reduce the number of operation object candidates.

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

  The character 47 determined based on the position of the character 47 holding the ball 48 is a character 47 whose positional relationship with the character 47 holding the ball 48 satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the character 47 holding the ball 48 A character 47 whose distance from 47 is within a predetermined range. The character 47 determined based on the character 47 holding the ball 48 may be the character 47 itself holding the ball 48.

  In the case of this modification, the game play belonging to a predetermined play type means, for example, that one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) move to the character 47 to be operated (for example, during the determination target period) This is a type of game play performed by holding the ball 48).

  For example, when the state where the team character 47 operated by the player holds the ball 48 continues for a certain period, or during the determination target period, the team character 47 operated by the player holds the ball 48. When a predetermined action (for example, a feint action) is performed a reference number of times or more when the character 47 does not have an opponent character 47 around it, it is determined that a game play belonging to a predetermined play type has been performed.

For example, in the situation shown in FIG. 8, when it is determined that the game play of the second player belongs to a predetermined play type, the distance from the ball 48 among the characters 47B belonging to the second team is within a predetermined range. The characters 47B ₁ , 47B ₂ , 47B ₄ , 47B ₁₁ may be excluded from the operation target candidates.

  According to the modified example (1-1), a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type cannot play a game involving the ball 48. Therefore, it is difficult for a player who is playing a malicious game using the ball 48 to continue this malicious game play.

  (1-2) For example, when a game in which a role in a game is given to each of the plurality of operation target candidate characters 47 as in the embodiment is executed, the candidate control unit 68 may You may make it reduce the number of operation object candidates.

  For example, when the game play by one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) belongs to a predetermined play type, the candidate control unit 68 includes the characters 47 belonging to the character group operated by the one or a plurality of players. The number of operation target candidates may be reduced by excluding characters that play a predetermined role (for example, a predetermined position) from the operation target candidates.

  That is, the candidate control unit 68 restricts the character 47 at a specific position (eg, defender) from being set as an operation target candidate. Further, for example, the candidate control unit 68 sets only the character 47 in a specific position (for example, forward) as an operation target candidate.

  For example, for a player who is playing a game belonging to a predetermined play type, if the character 47 at a specific position is excluded from the operation target candidates, the player cannot operate the character 47 at this position.

  In the case of this modification, game play belonging to a predetermined play type is performed by operating a character 47 in which one or a plurality of players (for example, a second player) plays a predetermined role (for example, a predetermined position) during the determination target period. It is a type of game play to be performed. For example, when a predetermined action (for example, a feint action) is performed on the character 47 in a predetermined position among the team characters 47 operated by the player in the determination target period for a reference number of times or more, game play belonging to a predetermined play type Is determined to have been performed.

That is, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 7, when the second player makes a pass in the second team's own team, the defender character 47 of the second team (for example, characters 47B _{1 to} 47B ₄ ). Is excluded from the operation target candidates, the second player can no longer pass the pass.

  Similarly, for example, when only a character 47 at a specific position is set as an operation target candidate for a player who is playing a game belonging to a predetermined play type, the player 47 is a character 47 at a position other than this specific position. Can not be operated.

That is, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 7, when the second player makes a pass in his own team, only the forward character 47 of the second team (for example, the characters 47B ₉ and 47B ₁₀ ) is the operation target. By setting as a candidate, it becomes difficult for the second player to make a pass.

  According to the modified example (1-2), when the player is playing a game belonging to a predetermined play type using the character 47 at a specific position, the operation of the character 47 at this position can be restricted. That is, it becomes difficult for this player to continue the malicious game play using the character 47 at a specific position.

  (1-3) Further, for example, when the game play by one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) belongs to a predetermined play type, the candidate control unit 68 is a character group operated by one or a plurality of players ( For example, among the characters 47 belonging to the second team), the number of operation target candidates may be reduced by excluding the character 47 in the predetermined area from the operation target candidates.

  This predetermined area may be a predetermined area (for example, within the player's own field) among areas where the character 47 can move, or may be an area determined based on the position of the ball 48 or the goal 44. Also good. Further, for example, the candidate control unit 68 may set only the character 47 outside the predetermined area as an operation target candidate.

  In the case of this modification, the game play belonging to the predetermined play type is a type in which one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) operate the operation target character 47 in the predetermined area during the determination target period. Game play. For example, when the player has positioned the operation target character within a predetermined area (for example, the player's own part of the pitch 41) for a certain period of time, it is determined that a game play belonging to a predetermined play type has been made.

  That is, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 7, when the second player makes a pass in his own team, the character 47 </ b> B in the second team ’s own team is excluded from the operation target candidates. The player can no longer pass the pass. In this case, the second player cannot perform the malicious game play performed within the predetermined area.

  According to the modified example (1-3), when a player is playing a game belonging to a predetermined play type in a predetermined area, the player is restricted from operating the character 47 in the predetermined area. The That is, it becomes difficult for this player to continue the malicious game play.

  (1-4) For example, when the game play by one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) belongs to a predetermined play type, the candidate control unit 68 (for example, a character group operated by the one or a plurality of players (for example, Among the characters 47 belonging to the second team), the number of operation target candidates may be reduced by setting only the character 47 that has generated a predetermined game event as the operation target candidates.

  In this case, when a predetermined game event (for example, a foul event to which a yellow card is given) that occurs based on the action of the character 47 occurs a plurality of times, the game apparatus 10 restricts the use of the character 47 in the game. including. For example, the game data storage unit 60 stores the number of times that the character 47 has generated a predetermined game event in association with the character 47.

  The game apparatus 10 restricts the character 47 whose number of times has exceeded the reference number so that it cannot be used in the game. In addition, when the player performs a game play belonging to a predetermined play type, the candidate control unit 68 sets only the character 47 that has generated the predetermined game event as an operation target candidate.

  For example, when a soccer game as in the embodiment is executed, the character 47 to whom a yellow card is given is given a dismissal action when a predetermined offense is performed next time. The candidate control unit 68 may set only the character 47 given the yellow card as the operation target candidate.

  According to the modified example (1-4), a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type can select only the character 47 that has generated a predetermined game event as an operation target. For example, by setting only the character 47 to which the yellow card is given as an operation target candidate, if the player performs an illegal action next time, there is a possibility that the operation target character 47 may be left. It is possible to prevent a game play such as performing an illegal action.

  (1-5) Further, for example, the candidate control unit 68 reduces the number of operation target candidates by setting the number of operation target candidates of a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type to zero. Also good. That is, the candidate control unit 68 may set all the characters 47 belonging to the team operated by the player to be allied characters. In other words, the candidate control unit 68 may limit the movement of the character 47 by the operation of a player who has played a game belonging to a predetermined play type.

  In this case, a player who has played a game that belongs to a predetermined play type cannot operate the character 47 for a certain period of time, and can give a penalty to a player who has played a malicious game.

  (1-6) For example, when the game play by one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) belongs to a predetermined play type, the candidate control unit 68 performs a character group (for example, one or a plurality of players operated) Among the characters 47 belonging to the second team), the number of operation target candidates may be reduced based on a method associated with the play type.

  In this case, for example, the game data storage unit 60 stores a predetermined play type and the control method of the candidate control unit 68 in association with each other. The control method of the candidate control unit 68 is, for example, the method described in the embodiment and the modified examples (1-1) to (1-5).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an association between a predetermined play type and a control method of the candidate control unit 68. When a game play belonging to a predetermined play type is performed, a method for reducing the number of operation target candidates for the team operated by the player who has performed this game play is specified by the association in FIG.

  For example, when the player plays a malicious game using the ball 48, the number of operation target candidates is reduced based on the method of the modified example (1-1). For example, when the player plays a malicious game using the character 47 at a predetermined position, for example, the number of operation target candidates is reduced based on the method of the modified example (1-2). For example, when the player plays a malicious game while the operation target character is within a predetermined area, the number of operation target candidates is reduced based on the method of the modified example (1-3). For example, when the player plays a malicious game play that continuously generates a predetermined game event, the number of operation target candidates is reduced based on the method of the modified example (1-4). For example, when the player plays a malicious game other than the above, the number of operation target candidates is reduced based on the method of the embodiment or the modified example (1-5).

  According to the modified example (1-6), the penalty method given to the player is changed according to the play type of the game play performed by the player. Therefore, it is possible to give a penalty to a player who has played a malicious game by an optimal method according to the content of the malicious game play.

  In the above description, the case where the play type is associated with any of the embodiments and the modified examples (1-1) to (1-5) 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 (1-5).

  (2) Further, for example, in the embodiment, a case has been described in which the determination unit 66 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 66 is not limited to the example of the embodiment. The determination unit 66 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 66 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 malicious play.

  In the present modification, the determination unit 66 calculates a play evaluation value corresponding to a game play by one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) within the determination target period based on the operation content of the player. A case including the means will be described. In this case, when the play evaluation value corresponding to one or a plurality of players (for example, the second player) falls within a predetermined range, the determination unit 66 determines that the game play by the player belongs to a predetermined play type. The play evaluation value is calculated for each player, for example, and stored as play evaluation value data.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a data storage example of play evaluation value data. As shown in FIG. 12, 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, when the player does not perform a malicious operation during the determination target period, the play evaluation value of the player increases. Further, for example, when the player is performing a malicious operation, the play evaluation value of the player 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 66 determines whether or not the action of the operation target character that moves based on the operation content of the player is a predetermined action (for example, dribbling, shooting, passing, etc.). The determination unit 66 changes the play evaluation value of the player when the operation of the operation target character is a predetermined operation.

  For example, the determination unit 66 determines whether a predetermined game event (for example, a foul event, a scoring event, a foul event given a yellow card or a red card, etc.) has occurred due to the action of the operation target character of each player. Determine whether or not. The determination unit 66 changes the player's play evaluation value when a predetermined game event occurs due to the action of the operation target character.

  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 greater than or equal to the reference value, it is determined that the player's game play does not belong to a predetermined play type because the player is not playing a malicious game. On the other hand, if the play evaluation value is less than the reference value, since the player is playing a malicious game, it is determined that the game play of this player belongs to a predetermined play type.

  (2-2) In addition, for example, the determination unit 66 calculates an index value (for example, the retention rate (dominance rate) of the ball 48, the number of shots) based on the game situation data whose contents are updated by the operation of the player Whether or not the game play of the player belongs to a predetermined play type based on whether or not the number of passes, the movement area of the character 47, and the information indicating the direction or movement direction of the body of the character 47 are within the reference range. It may be determined. 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.
