  • Patent number: 8602876
    Abstract: A team is organized with players having preset inclination values having an influence on individual behavior tendencies of the players while a whole inclination value having an influence on the behavior tendency of a whole team is set. The difference between the whole inclination value of the team and inclination values of the individual players is calculated. The smaller the difference, the higher the player's ability is changed than the initial value. The larger the difference, the lower it is changed than the initial value. In match simulation processing, a simulation is performed with the abilities after the change.

  • Patent number: 8545324
    Abstract: A communication game device which is disclosed can communicate with another game device, memorize the information about a communication partner at the time of the communication, and offer the communication game device which can process information for the succeeding game to be reflected in the contents of a game or the simulation. The communication game device has a processing section, a program storage part which memorizes a control program, an image storage section which memorizes character pictures matched with picture IDs, and controlling elements which can be operated by a game player. When the player's game device receives parameters from another communication game device, the parameters are stored or the data is renewed. If a parameter containing a body ID and the same body ID as arbitrary data is not stored, the arbitrary data in the parameter is memorized. If the parameter has been memorized, it is updated.
