    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.
