EA recently released the "Feel the Game" ad campaign for the Sports FIFA 15 featuring none other than Lionel Messi.

The soccer superstar is front and center in a short film aimed to promote the game. The shot film was created by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam and showed how the players will feel their emotion in the field as if it was the real thing.

The video showed the new version of the FIFA game and depicted players taking on an in-game, first person perspective. The ad will be shown in various TV networks worldwide starting today.

Meanwhile, the game maker also announced the top 20 players of the five major European league in FIFA 15. The new edition of FIFA will include features such as Emotional Intelligence, Next-Gen Goalkeepers, and heightened realism due to the adoption of head scanning technology.

FIFA 15 is headed to PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC in North America on September 23, 2014, and in Europe on September 26, 2014. A demo of the game is now out for all consoles and the PC.
