While strengthening and conducting, aim to win the league or tournament match, aiming for an ideal soccer team. The "season" is, for example, a period from the start to the end of the league match held in the game world every year.

Below, the soccer team that the user operates, strengthens, and directs is referred to as the “user team”. Also, soccer teams other than the user team are designed to be operated, strengthened, and commanded by a computer, so soccer teams other than the user team are referred to as “COM teams”. In the following, "year", "month", "day", and "time" represent "year", "month", "day", and "time" in the game world unless otherwise specified. .. For example, “1 year”, “1 month”, “1 week”, and “1 day” indicate 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, 1 day in the game world. Note that one year, one month, and one week in the game world may correspond to 365 days, 30 days, and 7 days in the game world, respectively, and may be set based on the game schedule and rules in the game. It may be set to. For example, one year in the game world may correspond to 40 games. In other words, if 40 games of the user team are played, it may be considered that one year has passed in the game world. Further, for example, one year in the game world may correspond to 360 days or 50 weeks in the game world.

[2-1] FIG. 2 shows an example of a soccer game menu image displayed on the display unit 16. As shown in FIG. 2, the menu image G100 includes a part P101. The “part” is an element that constitutes an image, and is, for example, a text or an image. The part P101 indicates the name of the user team. The part P101 in FIG. 2 indicates that the user team is “team A”.

The menu image G100 also includes a news area A110. The news area A110 shows news related to the user team. For example, the previous game result of the user team is displayed in the news area A110. News about the COM team may be displayed in the news area A110.

The menu image G100 also includes a ranking table area A120 and a goal ranking area A130. The ranking table area A120 shows a ranking table in the league in which the user team is currently participating. The standings, team names and points won are shown in this standing. The ranking table area A120 in FIG. 2 indicates that the first place at the present time is “team A” and the victory point of the team A is “9”. The goal ranking area A130 shows the goal ranking (score ranking) in the league in which the user team is currently participating. The ranking, player name, and number of goals (score) are shown in this goal line. The goal ranking area A130 of FIG. 2 indicates that the first place at the present time is “player A9” and the number of goals of the player A9 is “4”.

Further, menu image G100 includes a schedule area A140. The schedule area A140 shows the schedule of the user team within the period from the current date in the game world to a predetermined date later.

Is shown in the schedule area A140. In the schedule area A140, a text or an image indicating the existence and content of the event is displayed in association with a certain day of the event such as a match. For example, in FIG. 2, the text “Match (AWAY)” is displayed in association with “September 17, 2018”. This indicates that the match between the user team and the COM team will be held on September 17, 2018 at the COM team's home stadium. When the match between the user team and the COM team is held at the stadium where the user team is based, the text "match" is displayed. The team name or the emblem of the COM team may be displayed instead of or together with the above text.

The menu image G100 also includes a command area A150. The command area A150 includes parts P151, P152, P153, P154, P155 and P156.

A process for advancing the schedule is associated with the part P151. When the part P151 is selected, the game proceeds until the day when the next event (match, etc.) is present. If the current date in the game world is the execution date of the match between the user team and the COM team, the match is executed.

For example, the game is executed in a so-called action soccer game system. That is, the game progresses when the user operates the user team and the computer operates the COM team. In this case, the user may operate the user team by operating an operation target that switches among the player characters of the user team, or a fixed operation target that is selected in advance from among the player characters of the user team. You may make it operate a user team by operating. The user may operate the operation target in all the scenes from the beginning to the end of the game, or the user may operate the operation target only in a specific scene (for example, a chance or a pinch scene) during the game. You may make it operate.

Further, for example, the game may be executed by a method of determining the game result by executing a simple simulation process based on the data of the user team and the COM team, or the computer may perform both the user team and the COM team. The game may be executed in such a manner as to proceed by operating. In the following, for convenience, these methods will be referred to as "simulation methods".

In the present embodiment, the user can select either the action soccer game system or the simulation system as the game execution system. Note that in the following, executing a game in a simulation method may be referred to as “skipping a game”.

After the end of the match, an evaluation score indicating the evaluation in the match is calculated for each player character who participated in the match. The higher the evaluation score, the higher the evaluation of the player character in the match. After the match, experience points are given to each player character of the user team who participated in the match. In this embodiment, an experience value parameter is set for each ability item for each player character (FIG. 5). For each player character of the user team who participated in the match, a value (match experience value) corresponding to the action content performed in the match is added to the experience value parameter of one or more ability items. Then, when the experience value parameter of any of the ability items reaches the reference value, the ability parameter of the ability item is increased.

For example, the sub-menu image includes parts associated with processing for setting the game plan (formation, tactics, etc.) of the user team. When the part is selected, for example, a setting image for setting the game plan of the user team is displayed on the display unit 16. According to the game plan set here, each player character (excluding the operation target) of the user team acts in the match. Further, in this setting image, an arbitrary player character among the player characters of the user team can be set as a captain.

Further, for example, the sub-menu image includes parts associated with the processing for setting the training content for the player characters of the user team. When the part is selected, an image for setting the training content for the player character of the user team is displayed on the display unit 16. In this embodiment, an experience value parameter is set for each ability item for each player character (FIG. 5). By causing the player character to perform training, a value (training experience value) corresponding to the training content is added to the experience value parameter of one or more ability items. Then, when the experience value parameter of any of the ability items reaches the reference value, the ability parameter of the ability item is increased.

Further, for example, the sub-menu image includes parts associated with a process for causing the player character of the user team to perform special training (skill training) for allowing the player character to learn the skill. When the part is selected, for example, an image for causing the player character of the user team to perform skill training is displayed on the display unit 16. In skill training, for example, the player character can be made to learn a skill such as "non-rotational shoot" that makes it easier to perform non-rotational shoot. In the present embodiment, a period (skill acquisition period: for example, 15 days) required to acquire the skill is set for each skill. The skill is given to the player character when the skill acquisition period has elapsed since the skill training was started by the player character.

Further, for example, the sub-menu image includes parts associated with processing for conducting negotiations with the player characters of the user team. When the part is selected, for example, a negotiation image for conducting a negotiation with the player character of the user team is displayed on the display unit 16. In this negotiation image, the annual salary of the player character is determined and the contract with the player character is extended. Further, in this negotiation image, negotiations can be performed to transfer player characters of the user team to the COM team or transfer player characters of the COM team to the user team. When the player organization has a subordinate organization for the purpose of training players, the player characters belonging to the subordinate organization can be promoted (joined) to the user team.

The part P153 is associated with a process for displaying information about the user team on the display unit 16. When the part P153 is selected, information about the user team is displayed on the display unit 16. For example, when the part P153 is selected, the team situation image showing the current situation of the user team and the player list image showing the list of the player characters of the user team are displayed on the display unit 16.

The owner comment area A240 shows the owner's comment to the user who is the director. In addition, when the reliability of the owner with respect to the user who is the director decreases, the director may be dismissed.

The team information area A220 shows various information regarding the user team. For example, the team information area A220 shows the team spirit parameter of the user team. The team spirit parameter indicates the degree of understanding of the player character of the team regarding the tactics set for the team. In this embodiment, the suitability for the tactical concept is set for each player character, and the team spirit parameter indicates to what extent the tactical concept suitability of the player character of the team matches the tactical concept of the team. For example, the team spirit parameter takes a value of “0” to “100”, and the higher the value, the higher the degree that the tactical concept appropriateness of the player character of the team matches the tactical concept of the team (that is, the team). That the player character of the team has a high understanding of the tactical concept of. For example, if the team spirit parameter of the team is lower than the threshold value, it is set to a value lower than the original value of the ability parameter of the player character of the team in the match, and the player character of the team sets the original ability in the match. It may not be able to be exerted, or cooperation between player characters may become poor. In addition, for example, when the team spirit parameter of the team is higher than the threshold value, it is set to a value higher than the original value of the ability parameter of the player character of the team in the match, and the player character of the team is assigned the original ability in the match. Better ability than others, and better cooperation between player characters. By executing the match, the tactical concept appropriateness of each player character gradually matches (approaches) to the tactical concept of the team, and the team spirit parameter also increases accordingly.

Further, the team information area A220 shows the team power parameter of the user team. The team strength parameter indicates the overall strength of the team. The team strength parameter is calculated based on the ability parameters of the player characters belonging to the team. The higher the ability of the player character belonging to the team, the higher the team power parameter. For example, the team power parameter takes a value of "0" to "100", and the higher the value, the higher the total power of the team.

Further, the team information area A220 shows the tendency of the ability of the user team. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, for each item of dribble ability (DRI), pass ability (PAS), shoot ability (SHT), physical ability (PHY), defensive ability (DEF), and speed ability (SPD), This shows the high capability of the user team. These are calculated based on the ability parameters of each player character of the user team.

Further, the team information area A220 indicates the degree of attachment of the player character to the user team. If the degree of attachment is low, the condition parameters of the player character are likely to decrease, and it becomes difficult to extend the contract with the player character. The condition parameter is a parameter indicating the condition of the player character. For example, the higher the condition parameter, the better the condition of the player character, and the lower the condition parameter, the poorer the condition of the player character. When the condition parameter of the player character is lower than the threshold, it is set to a value lower than the original value of the ability parameter of the player character in the match, and the player character cannot exhibit the original ability in the match.

When the player character tends to attach importance to team play, the team play/stand play parameters have values of "-100" to "-1". The closer the team play/stand play parameter is to "-100", the stronger the tendency to attach importance to team play. On the other hand, when the player character tends to prefer stand play, the team play/stand play parameters have values of "1" to "100". The closer the team play/stand play parameter is to “100”, the stronger the tendency to prefer the stand play.

The team play/stand play parameters are updated based on the action taken by the player character in the match. For example, the first index for determining whether or not there is a tendency to emphasize team play is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the number of ground passes (the number of ground passes), the number of fly passes (the number of fly passes), and the number of crosses (the number of crosses) are acquired as the first index. When the number of ground passes, the number of fly passes, and the number of crosses of the player character are all equal to or higher than the average value in the team, it is determined that there is a tendency to attach importance to team play, and the team of the player character concerned is determined. A predetermined value is subtracted from the play/stand play parameter.

Similarly, the second index for determining whether or not there is a tendency to favor stand play is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the number of times of dribbling (the number of times of dribbling), the number of times of fouling (the number of times of fouling), and the number of times of shooting (the number of times of performing shooting) are acquired as the second index. If the number of times the player character dribbles, fouls, and shoots is equal to or higher than the average value in the team, it is determined that there is a tendency to prefer stand play, and the team play/stand of the player character is determined. A predetermined value is added to the play parameter.

The third partial area A360 includes parts P361-1 and P362-1 related to team play/stand play parameters. The left end of the part P361-1 that is a straight line extending to the left and right corresponds to the value "-100", the right end corresponds to the value "100", and the middle point corresponds to the value "0". Part P362-1 shows the current values of the team play/stand play parameters. That is, the part P362-1 indicates the position on the part P361-1 corresponding to the current value of the team play/stand play parameter. The current value itself of the team play/stand play parameter may be displayed in the third partial area A360.

The passion/calm parameter indicates whether they tend to be passionate or tend to be calm. For example, the passion/calmness parameter takes a value of "-100" to "100". When the player character tends to act passionately, the passion/calmness parameter becomes a value of "-100" to "-1". The closer the passion/calmness parameter is to “−100”, the stronger the tendency to act passionately. On the other hand, when the player character tends to behave calmly, the passion/calmness parameter becomes a value of "1" to "100". The closer the passion/calmness parameter is to “100”, the stronger the tendency to be calm.

The passion/calmness parameter is also updated based on the action taken by the player character in the match. For example, the third index for determining whether or not the player tends to be passionately acting is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the total moving distance (the total moving distance during the match) and the number of tackles (the number of times tackling is performed) are acquired as the third index. Then, when the total movement distance and the number of tackles of the player character are both equal to or more than the average value in the team, it is determined that the player character tends to be passionate, and the player character is determined from the passion/calmness parameter of the player character. The value is subtracted. It should be noted that whether or not a tie goal or a reversal goal was scored in the latter half of the match is also an example of the third index. Therefore, even when the player character scores a tie goal or a reversal goal in the latter half of the match, it is determined that the player character tends to be passionately acting, and a predetermined value is subtracted from the passion/calmness parameter of the player character. ..

Similarly, the fourth index for determining whether or not there is a tendency to behave calmly is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the ball-acquisition rate (the rate at which the player holds the ball held by the player of the opponent team) and the number of fouls (the number of times a foul is committed) are acquired as the fourth index. Then, when the ball-acquisition rate of the player character or the number of fouls is less than the average value in the team, it is determined that the player character tends to act calmly, and the passion/calmness parameter of the player character is set to a predetermined value. The values are added. It should be noted that whether or not the player character has decided the loop shoot also corresponds to an example of the fourth index. Therefore, even when the player character makes a loop shot, it is determined that the player character tends to act calmly, and a predetermined value is added to the passion/calmness parameter of the player character.

The third partial area A360 includes parts P361-2 and P362-2 relating to passion/calmness parameters. The left end of the part P361-2, which is a straight line extending to the left and right, corresponds to the value "-100", the right end corresponds to the value "100", and the middle point corresponds to the value "0". Part P362-2 shows the current value of the passion/calmness parameter. That is, the part P362-2 indicates the position on the part P361-2 corresponding to the current value of the passion/calmness parameter. The current value of the passion/calmness parameter itself may be displayed in the third partial area A360.

The skill/physical parameter tends to play by utilizing the high technique (high skill ability), or tends to perform by utilizing the physical strength (high physical ability). Indicates whether there is. For example, the skill/physical parameter takes a value of "-100" to "100". When the player character tends to play by making the most of the technique, the skill/physical parameter becomes a value of "-100" to "-1". The closer the skill/physical parameter is to “−100”, the stronger the tendency is to perform the play making the best use of the technique. On the other hand, when the player character tends to play by making the most of the physical strength, the skill/physical parameter becomes a value of "1" to "100". The closer the skill/physical parameter is to “100”, the stronger the tendency is to perform a play that makes the most of the physical strength.

The skill/physical parameters are also updated based on the action taken by the player character in the match. For example, the fifth index for determining whether or not there is a tendency to play by making the most of the technique is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the number of successful passes, the number of times of capturing the ball (the number of times of capturing the ball from the opponent team), and the number of times of successful dribbling are acquired as the fifth index. If the player character's pass count, ball capture count, and dribble success count are all equal to or greater than the average value within the team, it is determined that there is a tendency to play making good use of the technique, A predetermined value is subtracted from the skill/physical parameter of the player character.

Similarly, the sixth index for determining whether or not there is a tendency to play by making the most of the physical strength is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the moving speed, the number of tackle captures (the number of captures of the ball from the opponent team by the tackle), and the number of aerial battle wins (the number of wins in the heading competition) are acquired as the sixth index. Then, if the moving speed of the player character, the number of tackle captures, and the number of aerial battle victories are all equal to or higher than the average value in the team, it is determined that there is a tendency to play by utilizing the physical strength, A predetermined value is added to the skill/physical parameter of the player character.

The third partial area A360 includes parts P361-3 and P362-3 related to the skill/physical parameter. The left end of the part P361-3 which is a straight line extending to the left and right corresponds to the value "-100", the right end corresponds to the value "100", and the middle point corresponds to the value "0". Part P362-3 shows the current value of the skill/physical parameter. That is, the part P362-3 indicates the position on the part P361-3 corresponding to the current value of the skill/physical parameter. The current value of the skill/physical parameter itself may be displayed in the third partial area A360.

The sensory/thinking parameter indicates whether there is a tendency to act sensuously (in other words, to act according to intuition) or to act ethically (in other words, to think deeply and act). For example, the sense/thinking parameter takes a value of "-100" to "100". When the player character tends to act sensuously, the sense/thinking parameter has a value of "-100" to "-1". The closer the sensory/thinking parameter is to "-100", the stronger the tendency to act sensuously. On the other hand, when the player character tends to behave in a thinking manner, the sense/thinking parameter becomes a value of "1" to "100". The closer the sense/thinking parameter is to “100”, the stronger the tendency to behave in a thinking manner.

The sense/thinking parameter is also updated based on the action taken by the player character in the match. For example, the seventh index for determining whether or not there is a tendency to act sensuously is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the number of ball touches (the number of times the ball is touched), the number of clears (the number of times the clear is executed), and the number of middle shots (the number of times the middle shot is executed) are acquired as the seventh index. If the number of ball touches, the number of clears, and the number of middle shots of the player character are all equal to or more than the average value in the team, it is determined that the player character tends to act sensuously, and the sense/thinking of the player character. A predetermined value is subtracted from the parameter.

Similarly, the eighth index for determining whether or not there is a tendency to act thinkingly is acquired for each player character based on the action performed by the player character. Specifically, for example, the average ball-keeping time (average of ball-keeping times in one ball-keeping), the number of pass cuts (the number of times the ball was taken from the opponent team by the bus cut), and the number of shots in the area (penalty). The number of shots executed in the area) is acquired as the eighth index. If the player character's average ball-keeping time, number of pass cuts, and the number of shots in the area are all equal to or greater than the average value in the team, it is determined that the player character tends to act intentionally, and the player character A predetermined value is added to the sense/thinking parameter.

The third partial area A360 includes parts P361-4 and P362-4 related to the sense/thinking parameter. The left end of the part P361-4 that is a straight line extending to the left and right corresponds to the value "-100", the right end corresponds to the value "100", and the middle point corresponds to the value "0". Part P362-4 shows the current value of the sense/thinking parameter. That is, the part P362-4 indicates the position on the part P361-4 corresponding to the current value of the sense/thinking parameter. The current value of the sense/thinking parameter itself may be displayed in the third partial area A360.

In addition, the personality parameter of the player character is updated based on the play style of the player character. For example, the update content of the personality parameter is preset for each play style. Then, the personality parameter of the player character is updated based on the update content set for the play style of the player character. It should be noted that this update is executed every time a predetermined update timing arrives (for example, every day in the game world).

For example, regarding the play style “number 10”, the following update content is defined as the update content of the personality parameter. Then, the personality parameter of the player character to which the play style “number 10” is assigned is updated according to the following update content.
(1) Add a predetermined value to the team play/stand parameter (update to increase the tendency to prefer stand play).
(2) A predetermined value is added to the passion/calmness parameter (updated so that the tendency to act calmly becomes stronger).
(3) A predetermined value is subtracted from the skill/physical parameter (updated so that the tendency to play by making the most of the technique is strong).
(4) A predetermined value is added to the sense/thinking parameter (updated so that the tendency to act thinkingly becomes stronger).

In addition, the personality parameter of the player character is updated based on the training content that the player character has performed. For example, the update content of the personality parameter is set in advance for each individual training item. Then, when the player character is made to perform training, the personality parameter of the player character is updated based on the update contents set for the executed training item.

For example, with respect to the training item “pass practice”, update contents such as subtracting a predetermined amount from the team/stand parameter (updating so as to emphasize team play) are set. Then, when the player character is made to perform the pass practice, the personality parameter of the player character is updated based on the update content.

The initial value of the personality parameter of the player character may be set to "0", or may be set to a value set for each player character by the game developer, or the ability parameter or play style of the player character. It may be set to a value calculated for each player character based on the above.

The fourth partial area A370 shows the influence parameter of the player character. The influence parameter indicates the degree of influence of the player character.

For example, the influence parameter of the player character is added with a predetermined amount each time the player character participates in the game (or each time the player character participates in the winning game). That is, the more the player character participates in the match (or the number of times the player wins the match), the greater the value of the influence parameter of the player character. That is, the influence parameter of the player character corresponds to a parameter corresponding to the number of times the player character participates in the match (or the number of times the player character participates in the winning match).

Further, for example, the influence parameter of the player character is also added in the following cases. In this embodiment, the influence parameter is not subtracted.
(1) When the player character is selected as the best player (MVP) in the match (2) When the overall value of the player character rises (3) The ranking of the player character in the overall value ranking at a predetermined time (for example, the end of the month) Is within the reference rank (for example, 3rd place) (4) When the rank of the player character is within the reference rank (for example, 3rd place) in the popularity ranking at a predetermined time (for example, the end of the month) (5) A predetermined time (for example, At the end of the month), if the star character parameter of the player character is equal to or greater than the reference value (6) If the player character is selected as the best player (MVP) in the league after the league match ends (7) Every continent in the continent Player character is selected as the continental best player (continental MVP) selected from among the player characters of (8) World best player (world MVP) selected from all the player characters in the game world When a player character is selected as

Since the influence parameter of the player character belonging to the user team is added as described above, a player character having a long number of years (belonging period) belonging to the user team is selected as a player character having a short belonging period. In comparison, the value of the influence parameter is likely to be large. Therefore, the influence parameter of the player character also corresponds to the parameter according to the belonging period of the player character. Note that, for example, the influence parameter of each player character belonging to the user team may be added by a predetermined amount each time a predetermined time (for example, the end of a league match, the end of the month, or a weekend) arrives. Good.

The fourth partial area A370 includes a part P371 which is a gauge image showing the influence parameter. The length of the gauge (hatched portion) in the part P371 is set to the length corresponding to the current value of the influence parameter, and the length of the gauge indicates the current value of the influence parameter.

The initial value of the influence parameter of the player character may be set to "0", or may be set to a value determined by the game developer for each player character.

[2-7] Next, the team roll will be described in detail. 8A, 8B, and 8C show an example of team roll data showing a list of team rolls prepared in the soccer game. In FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C, 22 team rolls are shown. In FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C, the team roll data D101-1, D101-2, and D101-3 are shown separately in three figures, but in reality, these data are combined into one data. Below, team roll data D101-1, D101-2, and D101-3 may be collectively described as "team roll data D101."

As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, the team roll data D101-1, D101-2, and D101-3 include “ID”, “team roll name”, “classification”, and “effect” fields. The “ID” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying each team role. The “team role name” field shows the name of the team role. The “category” field indicates the category (type) of the team role. In this embodiment, six categories of growth roll, lower roll, middle roll, upper roll, upper roll, and special roll are set.

The "effect" field indicates the effect of the team roll. That is, the “effect” field indicates the effect that the player character assigned the team role has on himself or the team. The "effect" field includes "condition up", "bonus income", "team spirit up", "training efficiency up", and "special" fields as subfields. As will be described later, these fields indicate whether the team roll has an effect and its effect level. The “effect level” indicates the magnitude (degree) of the effect, and the effect levels are represented by “small”, “medium”, and “large” in FIGS. 8A to 8C. In the following, a player character that is a teammate of a player character that is assigned a team role (that is, a player character that belongs to the same team as the player character that is assigned a team role) is referred to as a “teammate character”. Enter.

The “condition up” field indicates whether or not the team roll has a condition up effect and the effect level thereof. The condition-up effect is an effect of increasing the condition parameters of the player character assigned the team role and the teammate character thereof to values higher than the original values.

Team rolls that have an empty "Condition up" field have no condition up effect. On the other hand, a team roll whose “condition up” field is “small”, “medium”, or “large” has a condition up effect. “Small” indicates that the increase amount of the condition parameter is small, “Medium” indicates that the increase amount is larger than “Small”, and “Large” indicates that the increase amount is even larger than “Medium”.

The “bonus income” field indicates whether the team roll has a bonus income effect and the effect level thereof. The bonus income effect is an effect that a bonus is given to the team to which the player character assigned the team role belongs. For example, this bonus is given every month.

Team rolls with an empty "Bonus Income" field have no bonus income effect. On the other hand, a team roll whose "bonus income" field is "small", "medium", or "large" has a bonus income effect. “Small” indicates that the bonus income is small, “Medium” indicates that the bonus income is larger than “Small”, and “Large” indicates that the bonus income is further larger than “Medium”. The amount of bonus income may be determined based on at least one of the annual salary and the popularity parameter of the player character assigned the team role having the bonus income effect. For example, the amount of bonus income may be increased as the annual salary is higher, or the amount of bonus income may be increased as the popularity is higher.

The "team spirit up" field indicates whether or not the team roll has a team spirit up effect, and the effect level thereof. The team spirit up effect is an effect of increasing the team spirit parameter of the team to which the player character assigned the team role belongs to a value higher than the original value.

Team rolls that have an empty "Team Spirit Up" field have no Team Spirit Up effect. On the other hand, a team roll in which the “team spirit up” field is “small”, “medium”, or “large” has a team spirit up effect. “Small” indicates that the amount of increase in the team spirit parameter is small, “Medium” indicates that the amount of increase is larger than “Small”, and “Large” indicates that the amount of increase is even larger than “Medium”. ..

The “training efficiency improvement” field indicates whether or not the team roll has a training efficiency improvement effect and the effect level thereof. The training efficiency improving effect is an effect of increasing the training efficiency of the player character assigned the team role and the teammate character thereof. It should be noted that “increasing the training efficiency” means increasing the experience value (training experience value) given to the trained player character more than usual.

Team rolls that have a blank "Training Efficiency" field have no effect on training efficiency. On the other hand, a team roll whose “training efficiency improvement” field is “small”, “medium”, or “large” has a training efficiency improving effect. "Small" indicates that the amount of increase in the training experience value is small, "Medium" indicates that the amount of increase is larger than "Small", and "Large" indicates that the amount of increase is larger than "Medium". ..

The “special” field indicates whether or not it has a special effect and its effect level. The specific content of each special effect will be described later.

The growth period role is the lowest category, and is mainly the category to which the team role assigned to the player character in the growing period belongs. In FIG. 8A, two team roles of "from a lower organization" and "master-pupil relationship" are provided as the growth period roles.

As shown in FIG. 8A, “from a subordinate organization” does not have a condition improving effect, a bonus income effect, a team spirit improving effect, or a training efficiency improving effect, but as a special effect, “improvement of own training efficiency”. Having "speed up acquisition of one's own skill".

The "improvement of training efficiency of oneself" is an effect similar to the effect of improving the training efficiency, and the target of the effect is limited to only the player character himself/herself who is assigned the team role. For this reason, with respect to the player characters to which “from the lower organization” is assigned, the training efficiency is increased, and the experience value (training experience value) given when the training is performed becomes larger than usual.

"Increasing the skill acquisition speed of oneself" is an effect that the skill acquisition period of the player character assigned the team role becomes shorter than usual. Therefore, with respect to the player character to which the “from lower organization” is assigned, by performing skill training, the skill can be acquired in a shorter skill acquisition period than usual.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the "master-pupil relationship" does not have a condition-up effect, a bonus income effect, a team spirit-up effect, or a training efficiency-up effect, but as a special effect, it is "improvement of own game experience value". Having "speed up acquisition of one's own skill". "Increasing the speed of acquiring one's own skill" is the same as in the case of "from a subordinate organization".

“Upgrading the match experience value of oneself” is an effect that the experience value (match experience value) given when the player character assigned the team role participates in the match becomes larger than usual. For this reason, with respect to the player characters to which the "master-pupil relationship" is assigned, by entering the game, more game experience values than usual can be acquired.

The lower roll is a group one above the growing roll. The effect of the growth roll extends only to the player character assigned the team role, whereas the effect of the lower role extends not only to the player character assigned the team role but also to the teammate character. That is, the lower roll has a larger range of effect (target) than the growing roll. In FIG. 8A, four team roles of “moodmaker”, “star player”, “team player”, and “master” are provided as the lower roles.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the “mood maker” has only the condition-up effect of the effect level “small”. The “star player” has only the bonus income effect of the effect level “small”. The “team player” has only the team spirit-up effect of the effect level “small”. The "master" has only the effect of improving the training efficiency at the effect level "small".

The middle roll is a division one level higher than the lower roll. The lower role has only one of the following: a condition up effect, a bonus income effect, a team spirit up effect, and a training efficiency up effect, while the middle role has two of those four effects. While having the two, the effect level is higher than the lower role. The medium roll also has special effects. In FIG. 8A, six team rolls of “combat general”, “hard worker”, “fighter”, “control tower”, “professor”, and “intelligent player” are provided as middle roles.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the “tosho” has the condition-improving effect of the effect level “medium” and the training-efficiency improving effect. In addition, the "Tosho" has the special effect of "(at captain) reducing the influence of fatigue on teammates (small)". This special effect is an effect in which the influence of the fatigue parameter of the teammate character is slightly reduced when the player character assigned the "tosho" is set as the captain of the team.

In this embodiment, a fatigue level parameter is set for each player character. The fatigue level parameter indicates the degree of fatigue of the player character. For example, a higher fatigue level parameter indicates that the player character is more tired, and a lower fatigue level parameter indicates that the player character is less tired. By causing the player character to participate in the game or to train the player character, the tiredness parameter of the player character increases, and by resting the player character, the tiredness parameter of the player character decreases. .. In addition, when the fatigue parameter of the player character is higher than the threshold value, the ability parameter of the player character is set to a value lower than the original value in the match, and the player character cannot exhibit the original ability in the match. In this regard, when "Tosho" is assigned to the player character and the player character is set as the captain of the team, even if the fatigue parameter of the teammate character is higher than the threshold value, the special effect described above is obtained. As a result, the amount of decrease in the ability parameter becomes slightly smaller than usual. By the special effect, the threshold value for the tiredness parameter of the teammate character may be set to a value higher than usual.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the “hard worker” has a condition-up effect of the effect level “medium” and a team spirit-up effect. In addition, the "hard worker" has a special effect of "(at the time of the captain) reducing the influence of fatigue on the teammate (small)". This special effect is similar to that of "Tosho".

As shown in FIG. 8A, the “fighter” has a condition-up effect and a bonus income effect at the effect level “medium”. In addition, the "fighter" has "(at captain) match experience value up (small)" as a special effect. This special effect is an effect that the experience value (match experience value) given when the player character assigned the “fighter” or the teammate character thereof participates in the match is slightly larger than usual.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the “command tower” has a bonus income effect and a team spirit up effect at the effect level “medium”. In addition, the “command tower” has “(the captain) team spirit up (small)” and “(the captain) match skip win increase (small)” as special effects.

"(Captain) Team Spirit Up (Small)" means that if the player character assigned "Command Tower" is set as the captain of the team, the team spirit parameter of the team will be a little higher than the original value. The effect is to rise.

"(Captain) Match skip win rate (small)" means that if a player character assigned "Command Tower" is set as the captain of the team, a match skip is selected (that is, In the case where the simulation method is selected as the execution method), the probability that the team will win the game is slightly higher than usual. For example, if the user chooses to skip a match when the player character assigned the "Command Tower" is set as the captain of the user team, the probability that the user team will win the match will be slightly higher than usual. Thus, the parameters used in the simulation process are adjusted.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the “professor” has a bonus income effect and a training efficiency improving effect at the effect level “medium”. Furthermore, the "command tower" has "(at captain) match experience level up (small)" as a special effect. This special effect is similar to that of "Fighter".

As shown in FIG. 8A, the “intelligent player” has a team spirit up effect and a training efficiency up effect at the effect level “medium”. Further, the "intelligent player" has "(the captain) team spirit up (small)" and "(the captain) match win percentage increase (small)" as special effects. These special effects are the same as for the "Command Tower".

The upper roll is a category one level higher than the middle roll. The middle role has only two of the following effects: condition up effect, bonus income effect, team spirit up effect, and training efficiency up effect, while the upper role has all four of these effects. , The effect level is generally larger than that of the medium roll. Also, the upper rolls have more special effects than the medium rolls. In FIG. 8B, five team roles of "key player", "hero", "superstar", "ruler", and "master" are provided as upper roles.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the “key player” has a condition-up effect, a bonus income effect, a team spirit-up effect, and a training efficiency-up effect at the effect level “medium”. Furthermore, the "key player" has "(at captain) team spirit up (middle)" and "(at captain) match win rate increase (middle)" as special effects.

The "(captain) team spirit up (medium)" is the same effect as the above-mentioned "(captain) team spirit up (small)", and is an effect in which the amount of increase in the team spirit parameter is different. (Medium) has more team spirit parameter increases than (Small).

"(Captain) Match skip win rate (medium)" is the same effect as "(Captain) Skip game win rate (Small)", but with different win rates. is there. (Medium) has a higher degree of win rate than (Small).

As shown in FIG. 8B, the “hero” has a condition-up effect of the effect level “large”, a bonus income effect of the effect level “medium”, and a team spirit-up effect and a training efficiency improving effect of the effect level “small”. Have. In addition, the "hero" has "(at captain) teammate's fatigue reduction (large)" and "(at the time of game participation) condition change of teammate" as special effects.

"(Captain) teammate fatigue reduction (large)" has the same effect as "(Captain) teammate fatigue reduction (small)", and the degree of fatigue reduction is Different effects. Compared to (small), (large) has a considerably higher degree of reduction in the effect of fatigue (that is, the amount of decrease in the performance parameter due to fatigue is considerably smaller).

"(At the time of game entry) Teammate condition change" is the effect that when a player character assigned a "hero" participates in the game, the condition parameter of the teammate character changes based on the condition parameter of the player character. Is. For example, when a player character assigned with "hero" participates in a match and the condition parameter of the player character is higher than the first threshold value, the condition parameter of the teammate character rises to a value higher than the original value. If the condition parameter of the player character is lower than the second threshold value, the condition parameter of the teammate character is lowered to a value lower than the original value.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the “superstar” has a bonus income effect of the effect level “large”, a training efficiency improving effect of the effect level “medium”, a condition improving effect and a team spirit effect of the effect level “small”. Have and. Further, the “superstar” has “special effects (when captain) reduce fatigue of teammate (large)”, “ticket income fluctuation”, and “negotiation probability fluctuation”. "(When captain) reduce fatigue of teammates (large)" is the same as "Hero".

The “ticket income fluctuation” is an effect that the ticket income of the team fluctuates. For example, when "superstar" is assigned to the player character of the user team, the ticket income per month becomes higher than usual based on the number of games played by the player character. The more games the player character participates in, the greater the amount of increase in ticket income.

“Variation in negotiation probability” is an effect that the probability of successful negotiation (annual salary negotiation, acquisition negotiation, etc.) varies. For example, when "superstar" is assigned to the player character of the user team, the probability of successful negotiation with the player character in a position different from the player character is higher than usual, and the player character in the same position as the player character is more likely than usual. The chance of succeeding in negotiations with is lower than usual.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the “master” has a team spirit-up effect with an effect level of “large”, a condition-increasing effect with an effect level of “medium”, a bonus income effect and a training efficiency increasing effect of an effect level of “small”. Have and. Furthermore, the "ruler" has "(at the captain) team spirit up (large)" and "(at the time of game participation) team spirit change" as special effects.

"(Captain) Team Spirit Up (Large)" has the same effect as "(Captain) Team Spirit Up (Small) or (Medium)" above, but the effect of increasing the team spirit parameter is different. is there. (Large) has more increase in team spirit parameters than (Medium).

“(Team participation) team spirit fluctuation” is an effect that the team spirit parameter of the team fluctuates. For example, when the "master" is assigned to the player character of the user team, when the player character participates in the match, the team spirit parameter of the user team changes based on the condition parameter of the player character. Specifically, for example, when the condition parameter of the player character is higher than the first threshold value, the team spirit parameter of the user team rises to a value higher than the original value, and the condition parameter of the player character becomes the first value. When it is lower than the two threshold value, the team spirit parameter of the user team is lowered to a value lower than the original value.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the “master” has a training efficiency improving effect of the effect level “large”, a team spirit improving effect of the effect level “medium”, a condition improving effect and a bonus income effect of the effect level “small”. Have. Furthermore, the "master" has, as special effects, "(at the time of the captain) match experience value increase (large)" and "(at the time of match participation) match experience value fluctuation" as special effects.

The “(captain) match experience value increase (large)” is the same effect as the “(captain) match experience value increase (small)” described above, and is an effect in which the amount of increase in match experience value is different. Compared to (Small), (Large) has a large increase in match experience value.

The “(experienced match) match experience value fluctuation” is given to the player character itself and its teammate character based on the condition parameter of the player character when the player character assigned the “master” participates in the match. This is the effect that the game experience value fluctuates. For example, when the player character assigned the "master" participates in the match, if the condition parameter of the player character is higher than the first threshold value, the match experience value increases more than usual, and the condition parameter of the player character becomes If it is lower than the second threshold value, the match experience value decreases as compared with the normal value.

The highest role is a category one level above the highest role. The top role is different from the top role in that it has all of the condition up effect, the bonus income effect, the team spirit up effect, and the training efficiency increase effect, and their effect level is “large”. .. Also, the top roll has more special effects than the top roll. In FIG. 8B, two team rolls of "Bandiera" and "Legend" are provided as the highest rolls.

As shown in FIG. 8B, “Bandiera” and “Legend” both have a condition-up effect, a bonus income effect, a team spirit-up effect, and a training efficiency-enhancement effect at the effect level “large”.

In addition, "Bandiera" is a special effect, "(captain) team spirit up (medium)", "(captain) match-skipping win rate (medium)" and "(captain) teammate fatigue effect Has "reduction (medium)" and "speeds up teammate skill acquisition". “(Captain) team spirit up (middle)” and “(captain) match skip win rate (middle)” are the same as in the case of “key player”.

"(Captain) teammate fatigue reduction (medium)" is the same effect as "(Captain) teammate fatigue reduction (small) or (large)" The effect is that the degree of reduction (that is, the amount of decrease in the performance parameter due to fatigue) is different. (Medium) has a greater degree of reduction in the effect of fatigue (smaller in the amount of decrease in the ability parameter due to fatigue) than (Small), and has a smaller degree of reduction of the effect of fatigue than (Large) (That is, the amount of decrease in the performance parameter due to fatigue is large).

The “speed up of teammate skill acquisition” is an effect that the skill acquisition period of the teammate character becomes shorter than usual. For example, by causing the teammate character to perform skill training in a state in which “Bandiera” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the teammate character can learn the skill in a shorter skill acquisition period than usual.

In addition, "Legend" has a special effect of "(captain) team spirit up (medium)", "(captain) winning rate when skipping a game (medium)" and "(captain) match experience value increase ( Medium)" and "Speed up teammate skill acquisition". "(Captain) Team Spirit Up (Middle)" and "(Captain) Match Skip Win Rate (Medium)" are the same as for "Key Player". Also, "speeding up the skill acquisition of teammates" is the same as in "Bandiera".

"(Captain) Match Experience Up (Medium)" has the same effect as "(Captain) Match Experience Up (Small) or (Large)", but the amount of increase in Match Experience is different. It is an effect. (Medium) has a larger amount of increase in game experience value than (Small), and has a smaller amount of increase in game experience value than (Large).

The special roll is a category to which a team roll having a special effect belongs. In FIG. 8C, three team rolls of “Rising Star”, “Bad”, and “Game Master” are provided as special rolls.

As shown in FIG. 8C, the “rising star” has, as special effects, “improvement of game experience value of oneself”, “acceleration of skill acquisition of oneself” and “probability of rapid growth of oneself”. The “improvement of game experience value of oneself” and the “improvement of skill acquisition speed of oneself” are the same as in the case of “master-disciple relationship”. However, the amount of increase in the game experience value and the amount of decrease in the skill acquisition period may be made larger than in the "master-pupil relationship". In addition, "Rising Star" has a "special offer price premium" as a special effect. "Additional offer price increase" is an effect that the COM team receives an offer offer with a transfer fee higher than usual.

"Increasing the rapid growth probability of oneself" is an effect that the probability that a rapid growth event will occur is higher than usual for a player character assigned with "Rising Star".

As shown in FIG. 8C, the "bad boy" has special effects of "improving one's own game experience value", "increasing one's own skill speed", "improving one's condition", and "condition reducing the teammate". With. "Increasing the experience value of one's own game" and "Increasing the skill acquisition speed of one's own" are the same as in the case of the "master-pupil relationship". However, the amount of increase in the game experience value and the amount of decrease in the skill acquisition period may be made larger than in the "master-pupil relationship".

The "condition improvement of oneself" is an effect that the condition parameter of the player character to which "bad child" is assigned rises to a value higher than the original value.

The “teammate condition down” is an effect that the condition parameter of the teammate character in the next match fluctuates based on the evaluation score when the player character assigned the “bad child” participates in the match. Specifically, if the evaluation score for the player character assigned to "bad child" is lower than the threshold value, the condition parameter of the teammate character having a lower total value parameter than the player character in the next match is based on the probability information. (Randomly) lower than the original value.

As shown in FIG. 8C, the “winner” has the effect of improving the condition at the effect level “medium” and the effect of increasing the training efficiency. In addition, the “winner” has a special effect of “(at the time of participation in a game) fatigue influence fluctuation of surrounding teammates”. Furthermore, the "winner" has "team spirit change" as a special effect.

"(At the time of participation in the game) Fatigue influence variation of surrounding teammates" means that when a player character who is assigned a "winner" participates in the game, based on the condition parameters of the player character, This is an effect that the influence of the fatigue parameter (that is, the amount of decrease in the ability parameter due to fatigue) varies for the existing teammate character. Specifically, when the condition parameter of the player character to which the "winner" is assigned is higher than the first threshold value, the influence of the fatigue parameter is reduced for the teammate characters around the player character ( That is, the amount of decrease in the performance parameter due to fatigue is smaller than usual. On the other hand, when the condition parameter of the player character to which the "winner" is assigned is lower than the second threshold value, the influence of the fatigue parameter increases with respect to the teammate characters around the player character (that is, due to fatigue). The amount of decrease in the ability parameter becomes larger than usual).

The “team spirit variation” is an effect that the team spirit parameter of the team to which the player character belongs varies based on the condition parameter of the player character to which the “winner” is assigned. Specifically, when the condition parameter of the player character to which the "winner" is assigned is higher than the first threshold value, the team spirit parameter rises to a value higher than the original value. On the other hand, when the condition parameter of the player character to which the “winner” is assigned is lower than the second threshold value, the team spirit parameter is lowered to a value lower than the original value.

[2-8] The team role assigned to the player character is determined based on the personality parameter and the influence parameter of the player character.

FIG. 9 shows an example of allocation condition data indicating allocation conditions for team roles. As shown in FIG. 9, the allocation condition data D102 includes “ID”, “team role name”, “allocation condition”, “Lv2 condition”, and “Lv3 condition” fields. The “ID” and “team roll name” fields are the same as the team roll data D101.

The “assignment condition” field indicates the assignment condition of the team role. That is, the “assignment condition” field is a condition to be satisfied by the player character in order to assign the team role. As shown in FIG. 9, the “allocation condition” field includes “influence condition”, “personality condition”, and “special condition” fields as subfields.

The “influence condition” field indicates a condition regarding an influence parameter of the player character. The “personality condition” field indicates a condition regarding the personality parameter of the player character. As shown in FIG. 9, the “personality condition” field includes “team play/stand play”, “passion/calmness”, “technique/physical”, and “sense/thinking” fields as subfields.

The “team play/stand play” field indicates conditions regarding team play/stand play parameters of the player character. The “passion/calmness” field indicates conditions regarding the passion/calmness parameter of the player character. The “Technique/Physical” field indicates conditions relating to the skill/physical parameters of the player character. The "sense/thinking" field indicates a condition regarding a sense/thinking parameter of the player character. If the “team play/stand play” field is blank, it means that there is no condition regarding the team play/stand play parameters. The same applies to the “passion/calmness”, “technique/physical”, and “sense/thinking” fields.

As shown in FIG. 9, with respect to the categories other than the special roles, the same influence condition is set for a plurality of team roles belonging to the same category. That is, the influence conditions are the same and the personality conditions are different between the plurality of team rolls belonging to the same section. For example, regarding the mood makers, the “star players”, the “team players”, and the “masters” of the lower roles, the same condition that the influence parameter is 64 or more is set as the influence condition, Different conditions are set as personality conditions.

Therefore, when the influence parameter of the player character becomes 64 or more, if the personality parameter of the player character satisfies the personality condition of one of the lower-ranked team roles, the team role is assigned to the player character. .. That is, of the lower roles, the team role in which the personality condition that is satisfied by the personality parameter of the player character is set is assigned to the player character.

For example, in FIG. 9, the “passion/calmness” field of the “mood maker” is “−50 or less” and the “technique/physical” field is “50 or more”, so the influence parameter of the player character is set. When the player character's passion/calmness parameter is -50 or less and the skill/physical parameter is 50 or more, the "mood maker" is assigned to the player character. ..

Although the personality condition is described as an AND condition here, the personality condition may be an OR condition. That is, when the influence parameter of the player character is 64 or more, the passion/calmness parameter of the player character is -50 or less, or the skill/physical parameter of the player character is 50 or more. , “Mood Maker” may be assigned to the player character. In addition, whether the personality condition is the AND condition or the OR condition may be different for each team roll classification (type). For example, the personality condition may be an OR condition for the lower role, and the personality condition may be an AND condition for the middle role, the upper role, and the highest role.

In FIG. 9, the condition that the influence parameter is 0 or more is set as the influence condition of the growth period roll. Further, the condition that the influence parameter is 64 or more is set as the influence condition of the lower roll, and the condition that the influence parameter is 160 or more is set as the influence condition of the middle roll. ing. Furthermore, the condition that the influence parameter is 255 is set as the influence condition of the upper roll and the highest roll. That is, in FIG. 9, the amount of the influence parameter required to receive the assignment of the team role increases in the order of the growth phase roll, the lower roll, the middle roll, the upper roll, and the uppermost roll. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as the influence parameter increases due to the player character participating in the game or playing an active part in the game, normally, the team role of the player character is the growth period roll, the lower rank. The role is promoted in the order of roll, middle roll, high roll, and highest roll, so that the player character can generate a larger effect.

The “special condition” field indicates a condition (special condition) to be imposed in addition to the condition regarding the influence parameter and the personality parameter. If the “special condition” field is blank, it means that there is no special condition.

For example, the “special condition” field of “from subordinate organization” is “special condition A”. This indicates that the player character needs to satisfy the special condition A in order to assign “from the lower organization” to the player character. For example, the special condition A is that “the team to which the player character currently belongs is the same as the team of the subordinate organization to which the player character previously belonged, and the player character participated in one match”. It is a condition.

Further, the "special condition" field of the "master-pupil relationship" is "special condition B". For example, the special condition B is "of the player characters to which the player character currently belongs and the teams of the subordinate organizations to which the player character previously belonged, and which are not assigned a team role. There are more than 10 games that received the highest evaluation score.”

The "special condition" field of "hero" is "special condition C". For example, the special condition C is a condition that "there is no other player character to which "hero" is assigned in the same team".

The “special condition” field of “super star” is “special condition D”. For example, the special condition D is a condition that "there is no other player character assigned to the "superstar" in the same team".

Also, the "special condition" field of "ruler" is "special condition E". For example, the special condition E is a condition that "there is no other player character to which the "master" is assigned in the same team".

Also, the "special condition" field of "master" is "special condition F". For example, the special condition F is a condition that "there is no other player character assigned the "master" in the same team".

Further, the "special condition" field of "Bandiera" is "special condition G". For example, the special condition G is “one of the upper roles is assigned to the player character, one year has passed since the upper role was assigned, and the current team has eight years or more. I am enrolled."

The “special condition” field of “legend” is “special condition H”. For example, the special condition H is “one of the upper roles is assigned to the player character, one year has passed since the upper role was assigned, and a specific prize was won”. Is the condition.

The “special condition” field of “rising star” is “special condition I”. For example, the special condition I is “all player characters under the age of 21 who are 21 years or younger, have played at least 50 games in the current team, and have played at least 30 games. It is within the third place in the ranking of the total value.

Also, the "special condition" field of "bad child" is "special condition J". For example, the special condition J is that "the age of the player character is 23 or less, the number of fouls in one season is 10 or more, and the number of fouls in the team is within the third place". Is the condition.

The “Lv2 condition” and the “Lv3 condition” fields indicate conditions (level-up conditions) that the player character must satisfy in order to raise the level of the team roll. The “Lv2 condition” field indicates a condition to be satisfied by the player character in order to raise the level of the team roll to “2”. Similarly, the “Lv3 condition” field indicates a condition that should be satisfied by the player character in order to raise the level of the team roll to “3”. In FIG. 9, conditions relating to the influence parameter are set as these conditions.

For example, in FIG. 9, as an allocation condition of “mood maker”, the influence parameter is 64 or more, the passion/calmness parameter is −50 or less, and the skill/physical parameter is 50 or more. It is set.

Therefore, when the influence parameter of the player character is 64 or more, if the passion/calmness parameter of the player character is -50 or less and the skill/physical parameter is 50 or more, the above allocation condition is satisfied. It is determined that the player character has been played, and the “mood maker” is assigned to the player character.

In this case, the team roll assignment image showing that the team role is assigned to the player character is displayed on the display unit 16. FIG. 10 shows an example of a team role assignment image. FIG. 10 shows a case where the “mood maker” is assigned to the player character A10. Therefore, the team role assignment image G400 includes a part P401 indicating that the “mood maker” is assigned to the player character A10. In addition, the team roll assignment image G400 also includes a part P402 that shows a comment regarding the team roll.

When “mood maker” is assigned to the player character A10, the player character A10 comes to generate the condition-up effect of the effect level “small” as shown in FIG. 8A.

In FIG. 9, the influence parameter is set to 96 or more as the Lv2 condition of “mood maker”, and the influence parameter is set to 128 or more as the Lv3 condition. Therefore, when the influence parameter of the player character A10 assigned the "mood maker" becomes 96 or more, the level of the "mood maker" assigned to the player character A10 increases to "2". In this case, the increase amount of the condition parameter is larger in the range of the effect level “small” than in the case of the level “1”. Further, when the influence parameter of the player character A10 becomes 128 or more, the level of the “mood maker” assigned to the player character increases to “3”. In this case, the amount of increase in the condition parameter becomes larger within the range of the effect level “small” than in the case of level “2”. There may be cases where the Lv2 condition or the Lv3 condition has already been satisfied at the time when the allocation condition of “mood maker” is satisfied by the player character A10. In that case, “mood maker” is allocated to the player character A10, and The level is set to "2" or "3".

In the present embodiment, the number of team rolls assigned to each player character is limited to one. For example, when a player character assigned "from a lower organization" satisfies the condition of "mood maker", the team role assigned to the player character is changed from "from a lower organization" to "mood maker". It

[2-9] In the soccer game described above, when a team roll is assigned to a player character, an effect corresponding to the team roll occurs in the game. Therefore, the user can strengthen the user team by forming the user team centering on the player characters to which the team role is assigned. As a result, the user can be made to feel that the user team is being strengthened by the existence of the player character to which the team role is assigned, and the user can be made to feel the presence of the player character. In particular, in the soccer game described above, the influence parameter according to the number of times the player character participates in the match (or the number of years the player character has been in the team (belonging period)) and the personality regarding the behavior tendency of the player character. The team role assigned to the player character is determined based on the parameters (FIG. 9), so that the player character participates in the match (or that the player character belongs to the user team for a long time) or the player character. It is possible to make the user realize that the presence of the player character is formed by the action performed by the player.

[2-10] In this embodiment, the team role assigned to the player character is not changed within the same section. For example, after the "moodmaker" of the lower role is assigned to the player character and the personality parameter of the player character is updated, the player character does not satisfy the "moodmaker" assignment condition and Even if the conditions for allocating the other team roles (star player, team player, or master) out of the roles are satisfied, the team role assigned to the player character remains the “mood maker” and the “mood maker”. It does not change from "Maker" to another team role.

[2-11] In addition, in the present embodiment, the team role assignment condition (influence condition) is set as shown in FIG. 9, and the influence parameter does not decrease. , Growth phase roll, lower roll, middle roll, higher roll, top roll will be promoted in this order (there may be a special roll between the lower roll and the middle roll). In this respect, in the present embodiment, as a general rule, the team roll of the player character is not demoted. For example, since the player character's personality parameter has been updated after the player character's personality parameter was assigned to the player character, the player character's personality parameter does not satisfy the condition of the player character's assignment, Even if the condition for allocating the "mood maker" out of the rolls is satisfied, the team role assigned to the player character is changed from "combat general" (medium roll) to "mood maker" (lower roll). There is no (demotion).

However, in the present embodiment, when the player character is transferred (that is, when the team to which the player character belongs is changed), the team role assigned to the player character may be demoted. For example, when a player character assigned "Bandiera" transfers from the current team to another team, the team role of the player character is changed to "top star" or "key player". Further, for example, when a player character assigned the team role “from a subordinate organization” or “master-daughter relationship” is transferred from the current team to another team, the player character is changed to a state in which the team role is not assigned. To do. By doing so, it is possible to make the user realize that the presence of the player character changes (for example, the presence of the player character is weakened) when the player character is transferred.

[2-12] In addition, if the team role of the player character changes within a relatively short period of time, the user may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, a predetermined team role is assigned after the new team role is assigned to the player character. Changing the team role of the player character may be restricted until the period elapses (for example, the period until 15 games are played).

[2-13] Further, as described above, each personality parameter can take a value between -100 and 100, but the upper limit value between -100 and 100 is set for each player character. And the lower limit value may be set.

For example, the upper limit value and the lower limit value may be set based on the ability parameter of the player character. Specifically, for a player character having a high pass ability or dribble ability, the lower limit value of the skill/physical parameter may be set to a value smaller than that of a player character having a low pass ability or dribble ability. Further, with respect to player characters having high physical abilities (speed ability, jump ability, physical contact ability, etc.), the upper limit value of the skill/physical parameter may be set to a larger value than that of player characters having low physical ability.

Further, for example, the upper limit value and the lower limit value may be set based on the age parameter of the player character. For example, the upper limit value may be increased and the lower limit value may be decreased as the age of the player character increases.

As described above, the personality parameter changes depending on the action performed by the player character in the game, and thus the skill of the player character is reduced by causing the player character with low pass ability and dribble ability to perform many pass and dribble. /Physical parameters will show that there is a tendency to play making the best use of the technique, and as a result, a team roll (professor or master etc.) with an image of making the best use of the technique May be assigned to the player character. In addition, a team role (upper role, etc.) having an image of performing skilled play may be assigned to a player character having a young age.

However, in this case, a team roll (professor or master) who has an image of playing utilizing the high technique is assigned to a player character with low pass ability and dribble ability, and an image of performing skilled play When a certain team role (upper role, etc.) is assigned to a player character of a younger age, the user may feel uncomfortable.

In this respect, such an inconvenience can be prevented by setting the upper limit value and the lower limit value based on the ability parameter and the age parameter of the player character. As a method for preventing such an inconvenience, a method of adding conditions relating to the ability parameter and age parameter of the player character to the team role allocation condition can be considered. However, when conditions relating to ability parameters and age parameters of player characters are added to the team roll assignment conditions, the assignment condition data D102 becomes complicated. In this respect, the above-described configuration can prevent the allocation condition data D102 from becoming complicated.

[2-14] In the present embodiment, the personality parameter, the influence parameter, and the team roll are set not only for the player character of the user team but also for the player character of the COM team. However, as for the player characters of all COM teams, similar to the player characters of the user team, when trying to update the personality parameter and the influence parameter, the processing load increases.

Therefore, in order to reduce the processing load, the value of the personality parameter of the player character of the COM team is fixed to a value preset by the game developer. With respect to the player characters of the COM team, at a predetermined timing (every day in the game world), a predetermined number of player characters of all the COM teams are randomly selected based on the probability information. A player character is selected and a predetermined value is added to the influence parameter of the selected player character.

However, as for the team role, similar to the player character of the user team, the team role is assigned to the player character of the COM team based on the assignment condition data D102 shown in FIG.

[3. Functional Block] Next, a configuration for realizing the above-described functions will be described. FIG. 11 is a functional block diagram showing an example of functional blocks implemented by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 11, the game system 1 includes a data storage unit 100, a first parameter updating unit 110, a second parameter updating unit 120, a limit value changing unit 130, an effect information determining unit 140, and a limiting unit. It includes 150, a group changing unit 160, an effect information changing unit 170, and an effect generating unit 180. Of these, the data storage unit 100 is realized by at least one of the storage unit 12, the storage unit 32, and the database 35. Further, the functional blocks other than the data storage unit 100 are realized by at least one of the control unit 11 and the control unit 31. That is, all the functional blocks other than the data storage unit 100 may be realized by the control unit 11, all of them may be realized by the control unit 31, or some of them may be realized by the control unit 11. The rest may be realized by the control unit 31.

[3-1] The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for executing the game. For example, the data storage unit 100 stores team roll data D101, allocation condition data D102, team data D103, and team member data D104 as data necessary for executing the above-described soccer game. Since the team role data D101 and the assignment condition data D102 have already been described (FIGS. 8A to 8C and 9), the description thereof will be omitted here.

[3-1-1] FIG. 12 shows an example of the team data D103. The team data D103 shows a list of all soccer teams existing in the game world.

As shown in FIG. 12, the team data D103 includes “team ID”, “team name”, “team spirit”, “team power”, “game plan information”, and “user team flag” fields. The “team ID” field indicates identification information that uniquely identifies each team. The “team name” field shows the name of the team. The "Team Spirit" field indicates the current value of the team spirit parameter for the team. The "team strength" field indicates the current value of the team strength parameter of the team. The “game plan information” field stores information about the game plan (formation, tactics, etc.) set for the team. The “user team flag” field indicates whether the team is a user team. For example, the value "0" is set in the "user team flag" field when the user team is not the user team, and the value "1" is set when the user team is the user team.

Note that FIG. 12 shows a part of the fields included in the team data D103. Although omitted in FIG. 12, for example, fields indicating various information displayed on the team situation image G200 are also included in the team data D103.

[3-1-2] FIG. 13 shows an example of the team member data D104. The team member data D104 is stored in association with the team ID (for each team). The team member data D104 shows a list of all player characters belonging to the team.

As shown in FIG. 13, the team member data D104 includes the fields described below. The “player ID” field indicates identification information that uniquely identifies each player character. The “player name”, “position”, and “age” fields indicate the player character's name, position, and age parameter. The “captain flag” field indicates whether or not the player character is set as a captain. For example, in the “captain flag” field, the value “0” is set when the player character is not set as the captain, and the value “1” is set when the player character is set as the captain.

The “total value” field indicates the total value parameter of the player character. The “ability” field indicates each ability parameter of the player character. The “experience value” field indicates the experience value parameter of the player character. The experience value parameter is stored for each individual ability item. The “condition” field indicates condition parameters of the player character. The "fatigue" field shows the fatigue parameter of the player character.

The "influence" field indicates the influence parameter of the player character. The "personality" field indicates the personality parameter of the player character. The “personality” field includes “team play/stand play”, “passion/calmness”, “technique/physical”, and “sense/thinking” fields as subfields. Each of these fields includes "current value", "lower limit", and "upper limit" fields as subfields. The “team play/stand play” field indicates the current value, lower limit value, and upper limit value of the team play/stand play parameters of the player character. The “passion/calmness” field indicates the current value, lower limit value, and upper limit value of the passion/calmness parameter of the player character. The “Technique/Physical” field indicates the current value, lower limit value, and upper limit value of the skill/physical parameter of the player character. The “sense/thinking” field indicates the current value, lower limit value, and upper limit value of the sense/thinking parameter of the player character.

The “team roll” field indicates the team roll assigned to the player character and its level. For example, the ID of the team role assigned to the player character and the numerical value indicating its level are registered in the “team role” field. In addition, when the team role is not assigned to the player character, the "team roll" field is blank.

Note that FIG. 13 shows some of the fields included in the team member data D104. Although omitted in FIG. 13, for example, a field indicating the date when the current team roll is assigned to the player character is also included in the team member data D104. In addition, the team member data D104 also includes fields indicating the nationality/region of the player character, height, play style, contract information (annual salary, contract expiration date, etc.), popularity parameter, star parameter, training content, and the like.

[3-1-3] Note that the data necessary for executing the soccer game described above is not limited to the data described above, and other data is also stored in the data storage unit 100. For example, data regarding the current progress status (current date in the game world, etc.), data regarding the game schedule, and data relating to the results of the games played in the past (win/lose, points, evaluation points of each player character, etc.) are also stored. It is stored in the unit 100.

[3-2] The first parameter updating unit 110 updates the first parameter related to the use of the game character in the game.

A "game character" is a type of game object that can be used in a game. In other words, the “game character” is a game object that behaves in the game world (virtual space or game space). For example, a "game character" is a game object that represents a person. The “person” may be a real person or a fictitious person. Further, for example, the “game character” may be a game object that represents a living thing other than a person. The “living organism” may be a real living organism or a fictitious living organism. Further, for example, the “game character” may be a game object that represents something other than a living thing. For example, the “game character” may be a game object representing a robot. The "game character" may be provided in the form of a game card.

The “use of the game character” is, for example, causing the game character to act in the game. For example, in the case of a game in which game characters compete with each other or a game in which game character groups compete with each other, allowing the game characters to participate in the battle is equivalent to “using game characters”. Further, for example, in the case of a sports game, causing the game character to participate in the match corresponds to “use of the game character”. In the case of a team sports game, selecting a member of the team may be equivalent to “using the game character”. That is, it is possible to determine that the game character has been used if the player is selected as the reserve player even if he/she does not participate in the match. Further, for example, in the case of a sports game, causing the game character to practice (training) may be equivalent to “using the game character”.

The “first parameter” is a parameter different from the second parameter described later and is a parameter different from the second parameter. The “first parameter” is, for example, a parameter updated based on the use of the game character. Specifically, the “first parameter” is, for example, a parameter according to the number of times the game character has been used. In other words, the “first parameter” is a parameter that reflects the number of times the game character has been used. Furthermore, in other words, the “first parameter” is a parameter having a correlation with the number of times the game character has been used. For example, the “first parameter” is updated every time the game character is used. The amount of change in the first parameter each time the game character is used may or may not be constant. The “parameter according to the number of times the game character is used” may be a parameter only according to the number of times the game character is used, or may be a parameter depending on the number of times the game character is used and one or more other factors. It may be a parameter. That is, the “parameter according to the number of times the game character is used” may be a parameter that has a correlation with the number of times the game character has been used and also has a correlation with one or more other elements. ..

Further, the “first parameter” may be, for example, a parameter according to the evaluation of the game character when the game character is used. In other words, the “first parameter” may be a parameter that reflects the evaluation of the game character when the game character is used. For example, the “first parameter” may be updated based on the evaluation of the game character when the game character is used. Specifically, for example, the “first parameter” may be updated when the evaluation of the game character is a predetermined standard or more. Alternatively, the “first parameter” may be updated when the evaluation of the game character is below a predetermined standard. Alternatively, the “first parameter” may change by an amount according to the evaluation of the game character. Like the “parameter according to the number of times the game character is used”, the “parameter according to the evaluation of the game character” may be a parameter according to only the evaluation of the game character, or It may be a parameter depending on the evaluation and one or more other factors.

In addition, the “first parameter” may be, for example, a parameter according to the score of the game character when the game character is used. In other words, the “first parameter” may be a parameter that reflects the score of the game character when the game character is used. For example, the “first parameter” may be updated based on the record of the game character when the game character is used. Specifically, for example, the “first parameter” may be updated when the game character's paid record is equal to or higher than a predetermined standard. Alternatively, the “first parameter” may be updated when the score paid by the game character is equal to or less than a predetermined standard. Alternatively, the “first parameter” may be changed by an amount according to the score paid by the game character. Note that, similar to the “parameter according to the number of times the game character is used”, the “parameter according to the score of the game character” may be a parameter depending only on the score of the game character. It may be a parameter according to the score stored in the above and one or more other factors.

Further, the “first parameter” may be a parameter updated based on the use of the game character and one or more other items. That is, not only the use of the game character (the number of times of use, etc.) but also other items may be reflected in the “first parameter”. For example, the parameter may be updated based on the use of the “first parameter” game character and the ranking of the game character in the ranking of the plurality of game characters. Further, for example, the parameter may be updated based on the use of the “first parameter” game character and the popularity of the game character. The “first parameter” may be a parameter that is not affected by the action content of the game character when the game character is used. That is, the “first parameter” may be a parameter updated based on the use of the game character, regardless of the action content of the game character when the game character is used.

Alternatively, the “first parameter” may be, for example, a parameter according to an elapsed period from when the game character can be used. In other words, the “first parameter” is a parameter that reflects the elapsed period from when the game character can be used. Furthermore, in other words, the “first parameter” is a parameter having a correlation with the elapsed period from when the game character can be used. For example, the “first parameter” is updated based on the elapsed time since the game character became usable. Further, for example, the “first parameter” is updated such that the value of the first parameter becomes larger as the elapsed period after the game character becomes usable becomes longer. It should be noted that the “parameter according to the elapsed period after the game character is enabled to be used” may be a parameter according to only the elapsed period, or may be a parameter that corresponds to the elapsed period and one or more other elements. It may be a corresponding parameter. That is, the “parameter according to the elapsed period after the game character is enabled to be used” is a parameter that has a correlation with the elapsed period and also has a correlation with one or more other elements. May be

The “elapsed period after the game character is ready for use” is the period (time) that has passed since the game character was ready for use by the user. For example, in the case of the soccer game described above, the fact that the player character belongs to the user team is equivalent to “being able to use the game character by the user”. The elapsed period (belonging period) corresponds to the “elapsed period after the game character is available for use”. Here, the “elapsed period” may be an elapsed period (elapsed time) in the game world or an elapsed period (elapsed time) in the real world. That is, the “first parameter” may be updated each time a predetermined time in the game world arrives (for example, every one year, one month, one week, or one day in the game world). Alternatively, the “first parameter” may be updated each time a predetermined time point in the real world arrives (for example, every one year, one month, one week, or one day in the real world). The amount of change in the first parameter each time a predetermined time arrives may or may not be constant.

As shown in FIG. 11, the first parameter updating unit 110 includes a 1-1 parameter updating unit 111 and a 1-2 parameter updating unit 112. The 1-1 parameter updating unit 111 updates the first parameter of the first game character, which is the target of the user's instruction, based on the use of the first game character. Further, the 1-2 parameter updating unit 112 updates the first parameter of the second game character that is not the target of the instruction of the user based on the probability information, regardless of whether the second game character is used.

For example, in the case of a game in which there is a game character group (hereinafter referred to as “user group”) that is a target of a user's instruction and one or more game character groups other than the user group, the game character group belongs to the user group. Each game character corresponds to an example of a “first game character”, and each game character belonging to one or more game character groups other than the user group corresponds to an example of a “second game character”.

For example, the 1-2 parameter updating unit 112 determines (randomly) whether or not to update the first parameter of the second game character, regardless of whether or not the second game character is used, based on the probability information. , If the update is determined, the first parameter of the second game character is updated. In other words, the 1-2 parameter updating unit 112 selects at least one second game character from the plurality of second game characters as the second game character for which the first parameter is to be updated, based on the probability information. (Randomly), and the first parameter of the selected second game character is updated. The amount of change in the first parameter when updating the first parameter of the second game character may be a predetermined amount or an amount determined (randomly) based on the probability information.

In the case of the soccer game described above, the influence parameter corresponds to an example of the “first parameter”. In addition, the player character belonging to the user team corresponds to an example of the “game character” or the “first game character”, and the player character belonging to the COM team corresponds to an example of the “second game character”.

The first parameter updating unit 110 (1-1st parameter updating unit 111) adds a predetermined value to the influence parameter of the player character when the player character belonging to the user team participates in the match. As a result, the influence parameter of the player character belonging to the user team has a value according to the number of times the player character participates in the game.

In addition, the 1-2 parameter updating unit 112 selects a predetermined number of player characters from the player characters belonging to all the COM teams based on the probability information (randomly) regardless of whether or not the player participates in the game. Then, a predetermined value is added to the influence parameter of the selected player character.

[3-3] The second parameter updating unit 120 updates the second parameter related to the behavior tendency of the game character based on the behavior of the game character used in the game.

The “second parameter” is a parameter different from the above-mentioned first parameter and is a parameter different from the first parameter. The “second parameter” is a parameter indicating the behavior tendency of the game character.

For example, the “second parameter” is a parameter indicating whether the behavior tendency of the game character is closer to the contradictory first tendency or the second tendency. The “second parameter” is updated from the lower limit value to the upper limit value, and is updated so as to approach the lower limit value when the game character performs an action closer to the first tendency, and the game character moves toward the second tendency. When an action is taken, it is updated to approach the upper limit. That is, the stronger the first tendency is, the closer the value of the second parameter is to the lower limit value, while the stronger the second tendency is, the closer the value of the second parameter is to the upper limit value. To be done.

Specifically, for example, a parameter indicating whether there is a tendency to act passionately or to act calmly corresponds to an example of the “second parameter”. Further, for example, a parameter indicating whether there is a tendency to act sensuously (in other words, to act according to intuition) or to act consciously (in other words, to think deeply and act) is “second It corresponds to an example of “parameter”. Further, for example, in a game in which competition is executed between groups, such as a team sports game, there is a tendency that the group wins more than the individual achievement and honor (ie, the tendency to emphasize team play). A parameter indicating whether or not there is a tendency to act by giving priority to individual performance and honor rather than group victory (that is, a tendency to prefer stand play/individual play) corresponds to an example of the “second parameter”. Also, for example, in the case of sports games, there is a tendency to play with high technique (high skill), or play with physical strength (high physical ability). The parameter indicating whether there is a tendency to perform corresponds to an example of the “second parameter”. A plurality of parameters may be set as the second parameter.

For example, the second parameter updating unit 120 updates the second parameter based on whether or not the game character has performed a specific action. Further, for example, the second parameter updating unit 120 updates the second parameter based on the number of times of specific actions performed by the game character. Further, for example, the second parameter updating unit 120 updates the second parameter based on the number of times the result of the specific action performed by the game character was successful. Further, for example, the second parameter updating unit 120 updates the second parameter based on the distance or time regarding a specific action performed by the game character. As the “specific behavior”, a behavior suitable for analyzing the tendency of the behavior is set.

In the case of the soccer game described above, the personality parameter corresponds to an example of the “second parameter”. That is, each of the team play/stand play parameter, the passion/calmness parameter, the skill/physical parameter, and the sense/thinking parameter corresponds to an example of the “second parameter”. The second parameter updating unit 120 updates the personality parameter of the player character of the user team based on the action performed in the match by the player character of the user team.

[3-4] The limit value changing unit 130 changes at least one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of at least one of the first parameter and the second parameter based on a predetermined condition.

The “upper limit value of the first parameter” is the maximum value of the numerical values that the first parameter can take. The first parameter is restricted from being updated to a numerical value larger than the upper limit value of the first parameter. The same applies to the “upper limit value of the second parameter”. The “lower limit value of the first parameter” is the minimum value of the numerical values that the first parameter can take. The first parameter is restricted from being updated to a numerical value smaller than the lower limit value of the first parameter. The same applies to the “lower limit value of the second parameter”.

"Changing at least one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of at least one of the first parameter and the second parameter" includes the following aspects.
(1) Only the upper limit of the first parameter is changed.
(2) Only the lower limit of the first parameter is changed.
(3) Change the upper limit value and the lower limit value of only the first parameter.
(4) Only the upper limit of the second parameter is changed.
(5) Only the lower limit of the second parameter is changed.
(6) Change the upper limit value and the lower limit value of only the second parameter.
(7) Only one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first parameter is changed, and only one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second parameter is changed.
(8) The upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first parameter are changed, and only one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second parameter is changed.
(9) Only one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first parameter is changed, and the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second parameter are changed.
(10) The upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first parameter are changed, and the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second parameter are changed.

The “predetermined condition” is a condition serving as a criterion for determining whether to change at least one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of at least one of the first parameter and the second parameter. The “predetermined condition” may be a condition that serves as a criterion for determining how to change at least one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of at least one of the first parameter and the second parameter. Further, the “predetermined condition” is a criterion for determining which of the upper limit value of the first parameter, the lower limit value of the first parameter, the upper limit value of the second parameter and the lower limit value of the second parameter is changed. It may be a condition. Conditions relating to various parameters can be set as the “predetermined condition”. The "predetermined condition" is set according to the content of the game. That is, the condition regarding the specific parameter is set as the “predetermined condition” according to the content of the game. For example, a condition relating to a third parameter which is a parameter relating to the game character and which is different from the first parameter and the second parameter is set as the “predetermined condition”.

The “third parameter” is, for example, a parameter relating to the ability or age of the game character. The “third parameter” is referred to, for example, to prevent effect information that does not match the ability or age of the game character from being set as the effect information of the game character. When the condition regarding the third parameter is set as the “predetermined condition”, the limit value changing unit 130 sets at least one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of at least one of the first parameter and the second parameter to the third parameter. It can also be said that it is based on the change. When changing the upper limit value based on the third parameter, the correspondence relationship between the third parameter and the upper limit value is predetermined, and the upper limit value corresponding to the current value of the third parameter is based on the correspondence relationship. Is set as. Similarly, when changing the lower limit value based on the third parameter, the correspondence relationship between the third parameter and the lower limit value is predetermined, and the lower limit value corresponding to the current value of the third parameter is lower limit based on the correspondence relationship. It is set as a value. Further, when changing the upper limit value and the lower limit value based on the third parameter, the correspondence relationship between the third parameter and the upper limit value and the lower limit value is determined in advance, and the current value of the third parameter is matched based on the correspondence relationship. The upper limit value and the lower limit value are set as the upper limit value and the lower limit value.

For example, the limit value changing unit 130 changes at least one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of at least one of the first parameter and the second parameter when the predetermined condition is satisfied. Specifically, for example, the limit value changing unit 130 sets the upper limit value and/or the lower limit value of the second parameter to the predetermined upper limit value and/or the lower limit associated with the predetermined condition when the predetermined condition is satisfied. Set to the value. Alternatively, the limit value changing unit 130 sets the upper limit value and/or the lower limit value of the first parameter to the predetermined upper limit value and/or the lower limit value associated with the predetermined condition when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

In the case of the soccer game described above, the ability parameter or the age parameter corresponds to an example of the “third parameter”. Further, as described above, the influence parameter corresponds to an example of the “first parameter”, and the personality parameter corresponds to an example of the “second parameter”. The limit value changing unit 130 changes the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the personality parameter of the player character of the user team based on the ability parameter or the age parameter of the player character.

[3-5] The effect information determination unit 140 determines effect information regarding an effect generated in the game by the game character based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

The “effect” is an effect that is advantageous to the user. The “advantageous effect by the user” is an effect that makes it easier for the user to achieve the purpose in the game. For example, in the case of a game in which a user plays against another user or a computer, winning the match is an example of “purpose”, and an effect that makes it easier for the user to win the match is “an advantageous effect by the user”. Corresponds to an example. The “effect” may be an effect that is disadvantageous to the user.

The "effect" is set according to the content of the game. For example, in the case of a game in which a battle is performed between groups, such as a team sports game, the following effects can be given as examples. The "ally character" is a game character belonging to the same group, and the "enemy character" is a game character belonging to an enemy group (opponent group). Further, the following effects may occur unconditionally or may occur under a predetermined condition.
(1) Raise the condition of the teammate character (make the teammate character in good condition).
(2) The condition of the enemy character is lowered (the condition of the enemy character is deteriorated).
(3) The degree of fatigue of the teammate character is reduced.
(4) Increase the degree of fatigue of the enemy character.
(5) To improve the ability of oneself, an ally character, or the entire group to which the one belongs.
(6) The ability of the enemy character or the entire enemy group is lowered.
(7) Increase the experience value that can be obtained by the player or a teammate character.
(8) Increase the degree of ability increase of oneself or an ally character.
(9) Increase the speed with which the ability of the player or the teammate character increases.
(10) Increase the income earned by the self, the ally character, or the group to which the self belongs.

“Effect information” is information that specifies the type (content) and degree of the effect generated in the game by the game character.

The effect information determination unit 140 determines the type and degree of the effect based on the first parameter and the second parameter. For example, the effect information determination unit 140 selects any one of the plurality of effect information based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

Specifically, the effect information determination unit 140 determines the effect information based on the second parameter when the first parameter is in the state of belonging to the predetermined numerical range. For example, a plurality of pieces of effect information are stored in association with each of a plurality of numerical value ranges, and the effect information determination unit 140 sets any one of the plurality of effect information pieces associated with the numerical value range as the effect of the game character. The information is selected based on the second parameter.

The “predetermined numerical range” is a numerical range in which at least one of a predetermined upper limit value and a predetermined lower limit value is set. The "predetermined numerical range" may be one to which only one numerical value belongs. In other words, the “predetermined numerical range” may have the same upper and lower limits. In short, the predetermined numerical value itself is also included in the wording in the “predetermined numerical range”.

"When the first parameter is in a state of belonging to a predetermined numerical range" means that the state in which the first parameter is not in the predetermined numerical range is changed to a state in which the first parameter is in the predetermined numerical range. This is the case.

For example, each of the plurality of effect information associated with the predetermined numerical value range is associated with the condition regarding the second parameter, and the effect information determination unit 140 causes the plurality of effect information determining units 140 to be associated with the plurality of numerical value ranges to which the first parameter belongs. From the effect information, the effect information associated with the condition that the second parameter is satisfied is selected as the effect information of the game character.

Even if the second parameter is updated after the restriction unit 150 determines any one of the plurality of effect information associated with the predetermined numerical value range as the effect information of the game character, the effect of the game character. Restricting the change of the information to other effect information of the plurality of effect information associated with the predetermined numerical value range.

"Limiting changing the effect information of the game character to other effect information" means prohibiting changing the effect information of the game character to other effect information. In principle, changing the effect information of the game character to other effect information may be prohibited and allowed only in special cases.

For example, when the second parameter satisfies the condition associated with the first effect information out of the plurality of effect information associated with the predetermined numerical value range, the first effect information is determined as the effect information of the game character. In this case, after that, the second parameter is not updated, so that the second parameter no longer satisfies the condition associated with the first effect information, and the other of the plurality of effect information associated with the predetermined numerical value range. Even if the second parameter satisfies the condition associated with the effect information (second effect information), the limiting unit 150 changes the effect information of the game character from the first effect information to the second effect information. Restrict what you do.

As shown in FIG. 11, the effect information determination unit 140 includes a first effect information determination unit 141 and a second effect information determination unit 142. The first effect information determination unit 141 determines the effect information of the first game character based on the first parameter and the second parameter of the first game character. The second effect information determination unit 142 determines the effect information of the second game character based on the first parameter and the second parameter of the second game character.

In the case of the soccer game described above, the team role assigned to the player character corresponds to an example of the “effect information”. Further, the influence parameter corresponds to an example of the “first parameter”, the influence condition set for each segment corresponds to an example of a “predetermined numerical range”, and the personality parameter corresponds to the “second parameter”. It corresponds to an example of “parameter”. In addition, the player character belonging to the user team corresponds to an example of the “game character” or the “first game character”, and the player character belonging to the COM team corresponds to an example of the “second game character”.

The effect information determination unit 140 (first effect information determination unit 141) determines the team role assigned to the player character of the user team based on the influence parameter and the personality parameter of the player character (FIG. 9). That is, the effect information determination unit 140 (first effect information determination unit 141) selects the personality parameter from the categories associated with the influence condition satisfied by the influence parameter as the team role assigned to the player character of the user team. Select a team role associated with a personality condition that is satisfied by.

Similarly, the second effect information determination unit 142 determines the team role assigned to the player character of the COM team based on the influence parameter and the personality parameter of the player character (FIG. 9).

The restriction unit 150 restricts changing the team role assigned to the player character within the same section. That is, after the team role of one of the categories is assigned to the player character, the personality parameter of the player character is updated, and as a result, the assignment conditions of the other team roles of the same category are satisfied. Also, the restriction unit 150 restricts changing the team role assigned to the player character to the other team role. For example, after the "moodmaker" of the lower role is assigned to the player character, as a result of the personality parameter of the player character being updated, the player character does not satisfy the "moodmaker" allocation condition and Even if the condition for allocating the “star player” out of the roles is satisfied, the restriction unit 150 changes the team role allocated to the player character from “mood maker” to “star player”. Restrict.

[3-6] The game character is associated with any of the plurality of group identification information, and the group changing unit 160 sets the group identification information associated with the game character as another group identification information of the plurality of group identification information. change. The effect information changing unit 170 changes the effect information based on the change in the group identification information associated with the game character.

A "group" is a game character group to which a plurality of game characters belong. The “group” can be restated as, for example, a team, a group, a party, a guild, or the like. “Group identification information” is identification information that uniquely identifies a group. For example, the group ID, the group number, the group name, or the like corresponds to an example of “group identification information”.

"The game character is associated with any one of the plurality of group identification information" means that the game character belongs to any one of the plurality of groups identified by each of the plurality of group identification information. That is, when the game character belongs to the first group of the plurality of groups, the game character is associated with the group identification information of the first group.

“Changing the effect information” means changing the effect information by changing at least one of the type and degree of the effect indicated by the effect information.

The group changing unit 160 changes the group to which the game character belongs to another group of the plurality of groups. For example, the group changing unit 160 changes the state where the game character belongs to the first group of the plurality of groups to the state where the game character belongs to the second group of the plurality of groups. The change of the group identification information associated with the game character may be performed according to the game operation of the user or may be performed according to the determination by the computer.

Further, the effect information changing unit 170 changes the effect information when the group identification information associated with the game character is changed (that is, triggered by the change of the group identification information associated with the game character). Note that the effect information changing unit 170 may change the effect information after the group identification information is changed, or the group identification information is actually changed after it is determined that the group identification information is changed. The effect information may be changed before, or the effect information may be changed in parallel with the change of the group identification information.

The effect information changing unit 170 may determine whether to change the effect information based on the change in the group identification information associated with the game character. For example, the effect information changing unit 170 determines not to change the effect information when the group before change and the group after change have a predetermined relationship, and the group before change and the group after change are predetermined. If there is no such relationship, it may be decided to change the effect information.

Further, the effect information changing unit 170 may determine the change content of the effect information based on the change of the group identification information associated with the game character. For example, when the group before change and the group after change have a predetermined relationship, the effect information changing unit 170 reduces the degree of change of effect information so that the group before change and the group after change are changed. When there is no predetermined relationship, the degree of change of effect information may be increased.

In the case of the above-mentioned soccer game, the soccer team corresponds to an example of “group”. The group changing unit 160 transfers the player characters belonging to the user team to another team (COM team). That is, the group changing unit 160 changes the team to which the player character belongs from the user team to another team (COM team). The group changing unit 160 also transfers the player characters belonging to the COM team to the user team. That is, the group changing unit 160 changes the team to which the player character belongs from the COM team to the user team.

The effect information changing unit 170 changes the team role of the player character based on the transfer of the player character (that is, the change of the team to which the player character belongs). For example, when the team to which the player character to which “Bandiera” is assigned is changed, the effect information changing unit 170 changes the team role of the player character to “top star” or “key player”. In addition, for example, when the team to which the player character to which the team role “belonging to a lower organization” or “master-pupil relationship” is assigned is changed, the effect information changing unit 170 does not assign the player character to the team role. Change to state.

It should be noted that the effect information changing unit 170 determines that the team before the change and the team after the change have a predetermined relationship (for example, the team before the change and the team after the change belong to the same country league). If the team role of the player character is not changed, and the team before the change does not have a predetermined relationship with the team after the change (for example, the team before the change and the team after the change) May belong to the leagues of different countries), it may be decided not to change the team role of the player character.

In addition, the effect information changing unit 170 has a predetermined relationship between the team before the change and the team after the change (for example, the team before the change and the team after the change belong to the same country league). In the case), the degree of change of the team role of the player character is reduced (for example, the current team roll is changed to a team roll of one step below), and the belonging team before the change and the belonging team after the change are predetermined. When there is no relationship of (for example, the team before the change and the team after the change belong to the league of different countries), the degree of change of the team role of the player character is increased (for example, from the current team roll). It is also possible to change to a team role that is divided into two stages below).

[3-7] The effect generator 180 generates an effect based on the effect information in the game. The phrase “generated in an effect game based on effect information” means that an effect of the type specified by the effect information is generated in the game to the extent specified by the effect information.

As shown in FIG. 11, the effect generator 180 includes a first effect generator 181 and a second effect generator 182. The first effect generation unit 181 generates an effect based on the effect information of the first game character in the game. The second effect generation unit 182 also generates an effect based on the effect information of the second game character in the game.

In the case of the soccer game described above, the team roll corresponds to an example of the “effect information”. In addition, the player character belonging to the user team corresponds to an example of the “first game character”, and the player character belonging to the COM team corresponds to an example of the “second game character”.

The effect generation unit 180 (first effect generation unit 181) generates an effect set in the team role assigned to the player character of the user team in the game. For example, when “mood maker” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the condition raising effect of the effect level “small” is set in “mood maker” (FIG. 8A ), so the effect generation unit 180 ( The first effect generator 181) slightly raises the condition parameters of all player characters of the user team. Similarly, the second effect generation unit 182 generates the effect set in the team roll assigned to the player character of the COM team in the game.

[4. Processing] Next, processing executed in the game system 1 (game terminal 10) will be described.

[4-1] FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B show an example of a process executed for each player character of the user team who participated in the match after the match. By executing the processes shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B according to the program, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 (game control device) functions as the functional blocks (excluding the data storage unit 100) shown in FIG. 11. 14A and 14B will be described below on the assumption that the process shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B is executed for the player character A10 of the user team for the sake of simplicity.

As shown in FIG. 14A, first, the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (influence field) of the user team and adds a predetermined value to the impact parameter of the player character A10 (S100).

Further, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the player character A10 has been selected as the best player (MVP) in the match (S102). When the player character A10 is selected as the best player in the match (S102: Yes), the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (influence field) of the user team and sets a predetermined value for the influence parameter of the player character A10. Is added (S104). The predetermined value in step S104 may be larger than or the same as the predetermined value in step S100.

When step S104 is executed, or when it is determined in step S102 that the player character A10 is not the best player in the match (S102: No), the control unit 11 produces the effect of “up the match experience value”. It is determined whether or not the state is possible (S106). This determination is made based on the team member data D104 of the user team.

For example, the "master-pupil relationship", "rising star", and "bad child" are set as a special effect of "increasing their own match experience value" (Figs. 8A and 8C). When the control unit 11 is assigned to the character A10, the control unit 11 determines that the effect of “up the match experience value” can be generated.

Also, for example, "(captain) match experience level up (small), (medium), or (large)" is set as a special effect for "fighter", "professor", "master", and "legend". 8A and 8B), a player character to which “fighter”, “professor”, “master”, or “legend” is assigned exists in the user team, and the player character is set as a captain. If so, the control unit 11 determines that the effect of “up the match experience value” can be generated.

Further, for example, since “(experienced game) match experience value fluctuation” is set for the “master” as a special effect (FIG. 8B), a player character assigned with “master” exists in the user team. In addition, when the player character participates in the match and the condition parameter of the player character is higher than the first threshold value, the control unit 11 is in a state in which the effect of “up the match experience value” can be generated. Judge that there is.

When it is determined that the effect of “up the match experience value” cannot be generated (S106: No), the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (experience value field) of the user team, and the normal match experience value. Is added to the experience value parameters of various abilities of the player character A10 (S108). Although not shown in FIG. 14A, since “(experienced game) change in experience value” is set as a special effect for the “master” (FIG. 8B), the player character to which the “master” is assigned is Is present in the user team, the player character participates in the match, and the condition parameter of the player character is lower than the second threshold value, the control unit 11 determines that the “match experience value is down”. It is determined that the effect should be generated. In this case, the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (experience value field) of the user team and adds a value smaller than the normal match experience value to the experience value parameters of various abilities of the player character A10.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the effect of “up the match experience value” can be generated (S106: Yes), the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (experience value field) of the user team to perform normal operation. A value larger than the match experience value is added to the experience value parameters of various abilities of the player character A10 (S110). For example, when the degree of the effect of “up the match experience value” is “small”, the control unit 11 sets the value obtained by multiplying the normal match experience value by the first coefficient (a number of 1 or more). It is added to the experience value parameters of various abilities of the player character A10. Further, when the degree of the effect of “up the match experience value” is “medium”, the control unit 11 obtains a value obtained by multiplying the normal match experience value by the second coefficient larger than the first coefficient. It is added to the experience value parameters of various abilities of the player character A10. Further, when the degree of the effect of “up the match experience value” is “large”, the control unit 11 sets the value obtained by multiplying the normal match experience value by the third coefficient larger than the second coefficient. It is added to the experience value parameters of various abilities of the player character A10.

After executing step S108 or S110, the control unit 11 determines whether the experience value parameter of the player character A10 has reached the reference value based on the team member data D104 (experience value field) of the user team (S112). ). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether the experience value parameter of each ability item has reached the reference value.

When it is determined that the experience value parameter of at least one ability item of the player character A10 has reached the reference value (S112: Yes), the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (ability field) of the user team, and the player The ability parameter corresponding to the at least one ability item of the character A10 is increased by 1 point (S114).

Further, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the comprehensive value parameter of the player character A10 has also risen due to the increase of the ability parameter of the player character A10 (S116). That is, the control unit 11 calculates the total value parameter based on the ability parameter of the player character A10, and compares the calculated total value parameter with the total value parameter registered in the team member data D104. If the calculated total value parameter is larger than the total value parameter registered in the team member data D104, the control unit 11 determines that the total value parameter of the player character A10 has increased. In this case, the control unit 11 updates the comprehensive value parameter of the player character A10 registered in the team member data D104 with the newly calculated comprehensive value parameter.

When it is determined that the total value parameter of the player character A10 has increased, the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (influence field) of the user team and adds a predetermined value to the influence parameter of the player character A10 ( S118). The predetermined value in step S118 may be larger than or the same as the predetermined value in step S100 or S104.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (personality field) of the user team and updates the team play/stand play parameters of the player character A10 (S120).

For example, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the number of grounder passes, the number of fly passes, and the number of crosses of the player character A10 in this match are all equal to or more than the average value in the user team, and all of them are average values. If it is above, the predetermined value is subtracted from the team play/stand play parameters of the player character A10. The number of ground passes, the number of fly passes, and the number of crosses may be counted during the match and stored as part of the match result data, or may be counted after the match based on the replay data of the match. May be. The same applies to other numbers and the like described later. Further, at this time, the control unit 11 acquires the lower limit value of the team play/stand play parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and if the value obtained by subtraction is less than the lower limit value, the player The team play/stand play parameter of the character A10 is set to the lower limit value.

Similarly, based on the match result data, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the number of times of dribbling, the number of times of fouling, and the number of times of shooting of the player character A10 in this game are all equal to or more than the average value in the user team. If all are equal to or more than the average value, a predetermined value is added to the team play/stand play parameter of the player character A10. At this time, the control unit 11 acquires the upper limit value of the team play/stand play parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and if the value obtained by the addition exceeds the upper limit value, the player The team play/stand play parameter of the character A10 is set to the upper limit value.

The control unit 11 also accesses the team member data D104 (personality field) of the user team and updates the passion/calmness parameter of the player character A10 (S122).

For example, based on the match result data, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the total moving distance and the number of tackles of the player character A10 in this match are both equal to or more than the average value in the user team, and both of them are determined. If the average value or more, the predetermined value is subtracted from the passion/calmness parameter of the player character A10. At this time, the control unit 11 acquires the lower limit value of the passion/calmness parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and if the value obtained by the subtraction is less than the lower limit value, the player character A10. The passion/calmness parameter of is set to the lower limit.

Similarly, based on the match result data, the control unit 11 determines whether the ball-acquisition rate and the number of fouls of the player character A10 in this match are both less than the average value in the user team, If both are less than the average value, a predetermined value is added to the passion/calmness parameter of the player character A10. At this time, the control unit 11 acquires the upper limit value of the passion/calmness parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and if the value obtained by the addition exceeds the upper limit value, the player character A10. The passion/calmness parameter of is set to the upper limit value.

Further, the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (personality field) of the user team and updates the skill/physical parameters of the player character A10 (S124).

For example, based on the match result data, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the number of successful passes, the number of ball captures, and the number of successful dribbles of the player character A10 in this match are all equal to or more than the average value in the user team. If both are above the average value, a predetermined value is subtracted from the skill/physical parameter of the player character A10. At this time, the control unit 11 acquires the lower limit value of the skill/physical parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and if the value obtained by the subtraction is less than the lower limit value, the player character A10. The skill/physical parameter of is set to the lower limit value.

Similarly, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the moving speed, the number of tackle captures, and the number of aerial battle victories of the player character A10 in this match are all equal to or more than the average value in the user team. If the average value or more, the predetermined value is added to the skill/physical parameter of the player character A10. At this time, the control unit 11 acquires the upper limit value of the skill/physical parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and if the value obtained by the addition exceeds the upper limit value, the player character A10. The skill/physical parameter of is set to the upper limit value.

The control unit 11 also accesses the team member data D104 (personality field) of the user team and updates the sense/thinking parameter of the player character A10 (S124).

For example, based on the match result data, the control unit 11 determines whether the number of ball touches, the number of clears, and the number of middle shots of the player character A10 in this match are all equal to or more than the average value in the user team. If it is determined that all are equal to or more than the average value, a predetermined value is subtracted from the sense/thinking parameter of the player character A10. At this time, the control unit 11 acquires the lower limit value of the sense/thinking parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and if the value obtained by the subtraction is less than the lower limit value, the player character A10. The sense/thinking parameter of is set to the lower limit value.

Similarly, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the average ball keeping time, the number of pass cuts, and the number of shots in the area of the player character A10 in this game are all equal to or more than the average value in the user team, If all are above the average value, a predetermined value is added to the sense/thinking parameter of the player character A10. At this time, the control unit 11 acquires the upper limit value of the sense/thinking parameter of the player character A10 from the team member data D104 of the user team, and when the value obtained by the addition exceeds the upper limit value, the control unit 11 Sets the sense/thinking parameter of the player character A10 to the upper limit value.

After executing steps S120 to S126, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the team role is assigned to the player character A10 based on the team member data D104 (team roll field) of the user team (S130).

When it is determined that the team role is assigned to the player character A10 (S130: Yes), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the player character A10 satisfies the level-up condition for the team role (S134). ). This determination is executed based on the team member data D104 (team role field) of the user team and the assignment condition data D102 (Lv2 condition and Lv3 condition field).

For example, when the level of the team roll currently assigned to the player character A10 is “1”, the control unit 11 determines whether the influence parameter of the player character A10 satisfies either the Lv2 condition or the Lv3 condition. Determine whether. Then, if the Lv3 condition is satisfied, the control unit 11 updates the team roll level currently assigned to the player character A10 to “3”, and if the Lv2 condition is satisfied, the control unit 11 determines that the Lv2 condition is satisfied. , Updates the team roll level currently assigned to the player character A10 to “2”. On the other hand, when the level of the team roll currently assigned to the player character A10 is “2”, the control unit 11 determines whether the influence parameter of the player character A10 satisfies the Lv3 condition. Then, if the Lv3 condition is satisfied, the control unit 11 updates the team roll level currently assigned to the player character A10 to "3".

It should be noted that there is no level setting for the upper roll, the uppermost roll, and the special roll (FIG. 9 ), so when the team roll assigned to the player character A10 is the upper roll, the highest roll, or the special roll. Does not execute steps S132 and S134, but step S136 described later is executed.

Further, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the player character A10 satisfies the allocation condition for the team role in the category above the team role currently allocated to the player character A10 (S136). This determination is executed based on the team member data D104 (influence and personality field, etc.) of the user team and the allocation condition data D102 (allocation condition field, etc.).

For example, when the team role currently assigned to the player character A10 is a growth period role, it is determined whether or not the assignment condition of the lower role, the middle role, the upper role, or the highest role is satisfied. It If the team role currently assigned to the player character A10 is a lower role, it is determined whether or not the conditions for assigning the middle role, the upper role, or the highest role are satisfied. Further, when the team role currently assigned to the player character A10 is the middle role, it is determined whether or not the assignment condition of the higher role or the highest role is satisfied. Further, when the team role currently assigned to the player character A10 is a higher role, it is determined whether or not the assignment condition of the highest role is satisfied. Note that, among the special rolls, “Rising Star” and “Kodo” have the same influence condition as the lower roll, and are therefore considered to be a team roll equivalent to the lower roll. Further, among the special rolls, the "matcher" has the same influence condition as the middle roll, and is therefore regarded as a team roll equivalent to the middle roll.

When it is determined that the player character A10 satisfies the assignment condition of the team role of the category higher than the team role currently assigned to the player character A10 (S136: Yes), the control unit 11 sets the team of the user team. The member data D104 (team roll field) is accessed, and the team roll assigned to the player character A10 is changed to the team roll (S138). In this case, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the level-up condition (Lv2 condition or Lv3 condition) of the team role newly assigned to the player character A10 has already been satisfied, and the level-up condition has already been satisfied. Then, the level of the team roll is set to "2" or "3", and if the level-up condition is not already satisfied, the level of the team roll is set to "1".

When it is determined in step S136 that the conditions for allocating a plurality of team roles are satisfied, the control unit 11 preferentially allocates the team roles in a higher category to the player character A10.

When a plurality of team roles are in the same section, the control unit 11 preferentially allocates the team role having the highest satisfaction degree of the allocation condition to the player character A10 among the plurality of team roles.

Here, the team play/stand play parameter, passion/calmness parameter, skill/physical parameter, and sense/thinking parameter of the player character A10 are “55”, “−70”, “60”, and “−60”, respectively. Assume that the influence parameter is “64”. In this case, both of the allocation conditions of the “mood maker” and the “star player” of the lower roles are satisfied. In such a case, the control unit 11 preferentially allocates the team roll having the highest satisfaction level of the allocation condition among the “mood maker” and the “star player” to the player character A10.

In this case, since the passion/calmness parameter and the skill/physical parameter are set as the allocation condition of the “mood maker” (FIG. 9), the control unit 11 indicates the satisfaction degree of the allocation condition of the “mood maker”. As an index, the total value (130) of the absolute value of the passion/calmness parameter and the absolute value of the skill/physical parameter is calculated. On the other hand, since the team play/stand play parameter and the sense/thinking parameter are set as the allocation condition of the “star player” (FIG. 9), the control unit 11 determines the satisfaction degree of the allocation condition of the “star player”. As an index to be shown, a total value (115) of the absolute value of the team play/stand play parameter and the absolute value of the sense/thinking parameter is calculated. Then, the control unit 11 preferentially assigns the "mood maker" having the larger total value to the player character A10.

After execution of step S138, the control unit 11 displays the team roll assignment image G400 on the display unit 16 (S144). When it is determined that the player character A10 does not satisfy the allocation condition of the team role in the category higher than the team role currently allocated to the player character A10 (S136: No), the control unit 11 performs step S138. , S140 is terminated without executing S140.

When it is determined in step S130 that the player character A10 is not assigned a team role (S130: No), the control unit 11 determines whether the player character A10 satisfies the team role assignment condition. The determination is made (S140). This determination is executed based on the team member data D104 (influence and personality field, etc.) of the user team and the allocation condition data D102 (allocation condition field, etc.).

When it is determined that the player character A10 satisfies the team roll allocation condition (S140: Yes), the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 (team roll field) of the user team and sets the team roll as a player. It is assigned to the character A10 (S142). Note that this step S142 is the same as step S138.

After executing step S142, the control unit 11 displays the team roll assignment image G400 on the display unit 16 (S144). When it is determined that the player character A10 does not satisfy the team role allocation condition (S140: No), the control unit 11 ends this process without executing step S142.

[4-2] FIG. 15 shows an example of processing for updating the influence parameter of the player character of the COM team and setting the team roll of the player character of the COM team. For example, the process shown in FIG. 15 is executed every day in the game world. The control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 (game control device) functions as the functional blocks (excluding the data storage unit 100) shown in FIG. 11 by executing the processing shown in FIG. 15 according to the program.

As shown in FIG. 15, based on the team member data D104 of the COM team, the control unit 11 selects (randomly) a predetermined number of player characters from the player characters of all the COM teams based on the probability information. Select (S150). Then, the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 of the COM team and adds a predetermined value to the influence parameter of the selected player character (S152). The predetermined value in step S152 may be different from or the same as the predetermined value in step S100, S104, or S118.

After executing step S152, the control unit 11 executes the processes of steps S154 to S166 for each player character selected in step S150. The processing contents executed in steps S154 to S166 for the individual player characters selected in step S150 are the same as the processing contents executed in S130 to S142 shown in FIG. 14B for the player characters of the user team. Since it is similar, the description is omitted here.

[4-3] When executing a match between the user team and the COM team, the control unit 11 is based on the team role assigned to the player character of the user team and the team role assigned to the player character of the COM team. , Generate various effects.

For example, when a team roll (mood maker or the like) having a condition-up effect of the effect level “small” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the control unit 11 causes the effect. That is, the control unit 11 sets the condition parameter of the player character of the user team to a value obtained by adding the first predetermined value to the original value.

In addition, when a team role (general commander, etc.) having a condition-up effect of the effect level “medium” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the control unit 11 causes the effect. That is, the control unit 11 sets the condition parameter of the player character of the user team to a value obtained by adding a second predetermined value (a value larger than the first predetermined value) to the original value.

Further, when the team role (hero or the like) having the condition-up effect of the effect level “large” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the control unit 11 causes the effect. That is, the control unit 11 sets the condition parameter of the player character of the user team to a value obtained by adding a third predetermined value (a value larger than the second predetermined value) to the original value.

[4-4] When executing the training process of the player character of the user team, the control unit 11 generates various effects based on the team roll assigned to the player character of the user team.

For example, when the team role (master or the like) having the effect of improving the training efficiency at the effect level “small” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the control unit 11 causes the effect. That is, the control unit 11 sets the training experience value given to each player character of the user team to a value obtained by adding the first predetermined value to the original value.

Further, when the team role (combatant etc.) having the effect of improving the training efficiency at the effect level “middle” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the control unit 11 causes the effect. That is, the control unit 11 sets the training experience value given to each player character of the user team to a value obtained by adding a second predetermined value (a value larger than the first predetermined value) to the original value.

Further, when the team role (expert, etc.) having the effect of increasing the training efficiency of the effect level “large” is assigned to the player character of the user team, the control unit 11 causes the effect. That is, the control unit 11 sets the training experience value given to each player character of the user team to a value obtained by adding a third predetermined value (a value larger than the second predetermined value) to the original value.

[4-5] When the year changes depending on the in-game time (or when the season changes), the control unit 11
Accesses the team member data D104 of the user team and the COM team, and adds 1 to the age parameters of all the player characters of the user team and the COM team.

Further, the control unit 11 accesses the team member data D104 of the user team, and each personality parameter (team play/stand play parameter, passion/calmness parameter, skill/physical parameter, sense/thinking parameter) of each player character of the user team. Lowers the lower limit value by a predetermined value and raises the upper limit value by a predetermined value.

[4-6] When the transfer of the player character occurs, the control unit 11 moves the data of the player character from the transfer source team member data D104 to the transfer destination team member data D104. At this time, the control unit 11 determines whether or not "Bandiera" is assigned to the player character, and if "Bandiera" is assigned to the player character, the "team roll" of the player character. Change the team role registered in the field to "Top Star" or "Key Player". In addition, the control unit 11 determines whether or not "from lower organization" or "master/younger brother relationship" is assigned to the player character, and "from lower organization" or "master/younger brother relationship" is assigned to the player character. For example, the “team roll” field of the player character is changed to blank.

[5. Summary] According to the game system 1, since the effect based on the team role assigned to the player character occurs in the game, it is possible to make the user realize that the effect occurs due to the presence of the player character, and as a result, It is possible to make the user feel the presence of the player character.

Further, according to the game system 1, the influence parameter that increases when the player character participates in the match (or the player character belongs to the user team) and the personality parameter regarding the tendency of the action performed by the player character in the match. Since the team role assigned to the player character is determined based on, the player character participates in the game (or the player character belongs to the user team for a long time) or the action performed by the player character in the game. It is possible to make the user realize that the presence of is formed.

In particular, according to the game system 1, since the influence parameter is a parameter according to the number of times the player character participates in the game (or the period of belonging), the number of times the player character participates in the game increases (or the period of belonging of the player character changes). By increasing the length, the influence of the player character is increased, and as a result, it is possible to make the user realize that the presence of the player character is formed.

Furthermore, according to the game system 1, the player character can be assigned a higher role of team roll as the influence parameter according to the number of times the player character participates in the game (or the belonging period) increases. As a result, the player character can generate an effect having a higher effect level, more effects, or an effect reaching more targets, and thus the number of times the player character participates in the game increases (or It is possible to make the user realize that the influence of the player character is increased and as a result, the presence of the player character is strengthened by increasing the character belonging period).

Further, according to the game system 1, it is not necessary to set a complicated correspondence relationship as described below. For example, when it is desired to limit the team role assigned to a player character by an ability parameter (or age parameter) separate from the influence parameter and the personality parameter, the influence condition, the personality condition, and the condition regarding the ability parameter (or age parameter) It is conceivable to adopt a configuration in which the correspondence relationship between the combination and the team role is defined in the allocation condition data D102, and the team role to be allocated to the player character is determined based on the correspondence relationship. However, in such a configuration, the allocation condition data D102 may be complicated. In this respect, according to the game system 1, by changing the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the personality parameter based on the ability parameter (or age parameter), the influence condition, the personality condition, and the ability parameter (or age parameter) condition It is possible to determine the team role to be assigned to the player character in consideration of the ability parameter (or the age parameter), even if the assignment condition data D102 does not define the correspondence between the combination of No. and the team role.

Further, according to the game system 1, the personality parameter is updated after one of the team roles in any one of the categories is assigned to the player character, and the assignment conditions of the other team roles in the same category are satisfied. Even if the player character's team roll is not changed, the player character's team roll is prevented from easily changing. The user can feel the presence of the player character by the team role assigned to the player character. However, if the team role of the player character changes easily, the presence of the game character felt by the user also changes. Therefore, the user may feel uncomfortable.
