Game device, method for controlling game device, program and information memory medium

A method for controlling a game device including at least one memory and at least one microprocessor, the game device executing a sport game that is played between a first team to which a user character belongs and a second team using a moving object, the method comprising:

• referring to storage content of a game information storage section that stores a position of the user character that moves in a game space according to an operation of a user;
• determining, by the at least one microprocessor, whether the position of the user character satisfies a positional condition regarding the position of the user character;
• and
• controlling, by the at least one microprocessor based on the determination result, display-output related to a teammate character that belongs to the first team and is in possession of the moving object but is not being operated by the user,
• causing, based on an instruction operation of the user, the teammate character to execute a pass toward a position determined based on the position of the user character;
• referring to storage content of a reference time information storage section that stores, in association with the positional condition, reference time information regarding a reference period of time to be taken until the pass is executed;
• and
• delaying the execution of the pass from the teammate character toward the position determined based on the position of the user character, based on the reference time information associated with the positional condition satisfied by the position of the user character.

A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a sport game that is played between a first team to which a user character belongs and a second team using a moving object, the program further causing the computer to function as:

• a section that refers to storage content of a game information storage section that stores a position of the user character that moves in a game space according to an operation of a user;
• a determination section that makes a determination whether the position of the user character satisfies a positional condition regarding the position of the user character;
• and
• a display control section that controls, based on the determination, display-output related to a teammate character that belongs to the first team and is in possession of the moving object but is not being operated by the user;
• a pass execution section that causes, based on an instruction operation of the user, the teammate character to execute a pass toward a position determined based on the position of the user character;
• a section that refers to storage content of a reference time information storage section that stores, in association with the positional condition, reference time information regarding a reference period of time to be taken until the pass is executed;
• and
• a wait section that delays the execution of the pass from the teammate character toward the position determined based on the position of the user character, based on the reference time information associated with the positional condition satisfied by the position of the user character.

A game device that executes a sport game played between a first team to which a user character belongs and a second team using a moving object, the game device comprising:

• at least one microprocessor configured to:
• refer to positions of the characters stored in a storage that stores positions in a game space of characters of the first team and the second team,
• determine whether the position of the user character that is operated by a user satisfies a positional condition with respect to a position of at least one character of the second team,
• control an expression of a teammate character of the user character based on the determination, the teammate character being in possession of the moving object but not being operated by the user,
• refer to reference time information stored in a storage that stores the reference time information, and
• delay execution of a pass from the teammate character toward a position determined based on a position of the user character based on the reference time information.
