The foundation of many of the mechanics in FIFA 23, FIFA points return as a primary feature to unlock athletes, cosmetics, and a plethora of other valuables in the newest edition of EA Sport's soccer simulation game series. With FIFA 23's inclusion of AFC Richmond from the TV series Ted Lasso as an acquirable facet of the game, players now have an even greater incentive to spend their FIFA points wisely. Those who've spent time in the previous iteration of the franchise, FIFA 22, are able to transfer their FIFA points into FIFA 23 for a strong start on the notorious microtransaction systems present in the FIFA series.
Ultimate Team remains the more demanding of modes available in FIFA 23, where players spend FIFA points on adding superstar professional athletes to a dream roster of their organization. FIFA points also give the opportunity for players to earn special rewards in Ultimate Draft, another mode in FIFA 23 where athletes are drafted into a select set of up to four matches. Competitors tired of FIFA 23's negative new chemistry system in Ultimate Team may find their FIFA points better spent in Ultimate Draft, or on fresh apparel in more nuanced modes such as VOLTA FOOTBALL.
There are a few caveats before players can take their FIFA points from FIFA 22 to FIFA 23. First, those seeking to transfer points may only do so through the same family of console, not between unrelated systems. Once FIFA points transfer to FIFA 23, they stay there, players are unable to transfer them back to FIFA 22 for any reason. Additional resources present in FIFA 22, like FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) Coin Balance and Items, do not carry over either. In spite of FIFA 23's inclusion of crossplay, FIFA points are more rigid in how they trade into the new title.
Moving FIFA Points Into FIFA 23 From FIFA 22
Logging into an EA account when starting FIFA 23 for the first time is the only way to transfer FIFA points from FIFA 22 to FIFA 23. If a player on console or PC begins FIFA 23 after purchasing the full game, there will be a prompt to connect their previous account to the new entry. Afterwards, the FUT Web or Companion applications show the amount of FIFA points able to be transferred into FIFA 23, and allow players to commit to the deposit.
No matter what method FIFA 23 is sold to players, as long as the account made from FIFA 22 does not have any restrictions, there should be no issue moving FIFA points over. EA Play membership acts as a demo of sorts for FIFA 23, where players can try out the game without purchasing it. FIFA Points still move over through EA Play, however, the full utilization of FIFA Points come in the aforementioned modes only available to players with the full title.
Ultimate Team, Ultimate Draft, or any of FIFA 23's game modes expand when using FIFA points, especially should players have successfully used their stock from FIFA 22. Either through drafting the best young players in FIFA 23's Career Mode or creating a dominant team beyond what is possible in reality, FIFA points retain the gateway for players looking to experience the charm of FIFA 23 and its improved mechanics.
