Inspired by the addition of the advanced in-game emotions, FIFA 15 will implement advanced team tactics determined by the context of the match in question. No longer will the CPU continue to play the same way if they need an equaliser in the final 5-minutes they will throw caution to the wind and pile players forward in the hope of scoring that all important goal. Similarly, if a team has amassed a decent lead they will do a José Mourinho and park the bus to guarantee the victory. With the players on the field showing their emotional complexity combined with a playing style which shows how important the game is to them, FIFA 15 feels far closer to the real thing than the preceding years game. The importance of winning to a team is also shown in their reaction after scoring a goal which they have altered their tactics to achieve: after scoring that vital goal, the team can engage in a 10-man celebration to show how much it means to them. The final shot of the trailer is of the entire Barcelona squad (sans goalkeeper) ecstatically revelling in the joy of a goal.
