Provided is a game machine capable of desirably demonstrating an “extent of field-of-view” of a player in a sports game. A field-of-view area setting unit (64) sets, based on a location and orientation of an operational target player character, a field-of-view area of the operational target player character. A pass-partner-search-area setting area (74) sets a pass-partner search area, based on the location of the operational target player character and a direction specified by a pass-direction instructing operation. In the case where a pass-execution instructing operation is received, a pass-execution control unit (68) determines whether a moving object character is moved in a direction determined based on a location of a teammate player character selected from among teammate player characters located within the pass-partner search area, or in a direction specified by the pass-direction instructing operation, based on a judgment result as to whether or not one or more teammate player characters are located within the field-of-view area of the operational target player character.
