Abstract

See full text

An improved passing feature for sports videogames that enables passing of, for example, a virtual ball, in a direction that is different than the direction in which the virtual player is moving on the virtual playing field. In accordance with the instant invention, the moving direction for a virtual player and the passing direction for that player are made independent, thereby providing more fluid passing and greatly enhancing gameplay. The passing feature can be implemented on a game controller having one or two analog joysticks.
