Considering how much FIFA points cost to buy, many have noted how expensive accumulating so many points could be. Naturally, many have started trolling Danny for it, with one X user mocking him for having less sense than money. The streamer, however, had a ready reply and wrote back:

With EA FC 24 just around the corner, the hype around the upcoming game is at an all-time high. For those who have pre-ordered the ultimate edition of the game, EA has promised a seven-day head-start. This means the early access release will be arriving next week on September 22 across all the platforms, while those who have the standard edition need to wait till September 29.
FIFA 23 players have already had the chance to start building towards their team for the upcoming game via the Pre-Season promo, which allowed them to earn packs and rewards for EA FC 24 by completing objectives and Squad Building Challenges in FIFA 23. Of course, alternatively, players can also rely on microtransactions in the form of FIFA points.
When Danny Aarons posted his screenshot showcasing the millions of in-game currency he had in the bank, on top of trolling and pointing out how expensive it must have been, many also wondered if the points would carry over to the new game.
As it happens, EA has confirmed that despite the change in the name for their in-game currency from FIFA points to FC points, the amount can be carried over without any problem.
Other users stuck to trolling Danny Aarons for using real money to buy good cards, with some fans pointing out how making content out of the game justifies the investment.
