Need some advice on where to go with this as I'm getting no where quick.
Myself and 2 friends have been trying to connect to our usual games together - Rory McIlroy PGA Tour and FIFA 17. We've had no issues playing with each other online until last weekend.
Now these issues are unique in that we can all connect to the EA servers without a problem. But matchmaking causes odd problems that are easily repeatable for all us. Trying to connect in a head2head, unranked game in PGA for example. I set up the game as usual, I'm in the room and send the invites out. And the moment one of my friends accepts the invite both his game and mine freeze instantly. Forcing us to both do a manual close of the game. It doesn't matter who hosts or tries to play. Each one of the 3 getthe exact same results. But no known issues anywhere online. No issues connecting to the server. We've all rebooted our modems, consoles, deleted and re-added each other on our friends lists etc. EA support over twitter tried a few things and none we decent solutions. Xbox Support chimed in over Twitter teaching me how to manually close a game when it freezes. Like seriously lol..
FIFA also allows us to connect to the servers. But inviting each other to a friendly season online game allows the host to get in fine. But the invited player gets booted back out immediately after accepting.
I've connected to a game with the same friends in NBA 2K17 with zero issues which leads us to think it's EA related. Yet they say there's no issues and we can see other people still playing these games online. We all live in the same city (Toronto) so not sure it's a region thing either.
Any suggestions on where to go for better support? I'd love to continue playing these games online.
