Not only is FIFA 15 set to replicate a vast variety of emotions that players demonstrate on the pitch, you will also see what the fans experience from the stands.

As everyone knows, the tone can change during the course of a match, and that is where the EA Sports emotional intelligence feature comes into play. It will connect all 22 players on the pitch, meaning every player will have some sort of feeling or attitude toward any other given player, and depending how the match plays out, those feelings can change over time. Players will show anger, delight, excitement, disgust and much more, depending on how their teammates are playing.

For the first time in the FIFA series, you also will see 10-man player celebrations, which will only be triggered if a player gets a last second goal. FIFA 15 will feature over 600 emotional animations, including various reactions from decisions, bad tackles and other pivotal moments in the match. Dynamic match presentation brings the fans into the match even more with cheers and chants from their club, league or region. Even the commentators will sometimes pick up on how specific crowds behave, like The Poznań, for example.
