Claim 19:
20. A game control method of a computer configured to execute a sports game, the game control method comprising:
receiving a first direction input, for changing a trajectory of a moving object, at a first timing prior to starting movement of the moving object;
receiving a second direction input, for changing the trajectory of the moving object, at a second timing after the first timing and prior to starting the movement of the moving object;
determining a parameter for moving the moving object according to, at least, the first direction input and the second direction input;
detecting, during a predetermined period while the parameter is being determined, and that includes the first timing and the second timing, a player operation indicative of a temporal direction input for determining the change of the trajectory after starting of the movement of the moving object;
moving the moving object based on the detected player operation indicative of the temporal direction input after determining the parameter while reflecting the temporal direction input onto the trajectory;
changing the trajectory of the moving object to move in a first direction, based on the first direction input, at a third timing after the second timing and after starting the movement of the moving object; and
changing the trajectory of the moving object to move in a second direction, based on the second direction input, at a fourth timing after the third timing and after starting the movement of the moving object.
