For example, by causing the control unit, for example, CPU 7, to perform linear interpolation calculation using the initial predicted pass position HI coordinates and the final pass position H3 coordinates as initial conditions, the predicted pass position H2 of the ball in the expected pass display area The coordinates may be calculated.
• the setting means is not limited to the above embodiment, and other means may be used.
• the time when the instruction to release the ball from the pitcher character P is recognized by the control unit, for example, the CPU 7, is made to be recognized by the CPU 7 as release time data, and this release time is
• the initial power state data s of the ball may be set according to the data value.
• the initial power state data S of the ball corresponding to the ball throwing ability data N is reduced by a predetermined ratio.
• the value recognized by CPU7 Specifically, when the pitcher character P releases the ball at the optimal release timing, the value of the initial power state data S of the ball corresponding to the ball throwing ability data N is used, and the pitcher is released at the optimal release timing.
• the value of the reduced initial power state data S of the ball is used. In other words, when the pitcher character P releases the ball at the optimal release timing, the pitcher character releases a powerful ball, and when the pitcher character P releases the ball at the optimal release timing, The pitcher character will release a powerful V-ball.
• the present invention it is possible to change the power state of the moving body to which the character power is sent out in accordance with the arrival position of the moving body. Further, when the final passing position of the moving body is located within the range of the inner region, the power state of the moving body to which the character power is also sent can be changed according to the reaching position of the moving body.
