Playing Friends Doesn’t Work

I cannot play friends in play a friend or in online dynasty and it is super frustrating. It started a month or two ago. It use to work fine but then it just started doing it. I can however play random strangers in the Road to the College Football Playoff and every other game online. I tried four different friends and couldn’t play them. I played another friend on my Xbox with him on his PlayStation. I tried playing Xbox with Xbox. I tried default playbooks. Restarting the Xbox, restarting my router. Reinstalled CFB 26. Reset my Xbox and reinstalled everything. Did port forwarding. Called my ISP to trouble shoot. Upgraded to a static IP thinking it is a double Nat issue. Changed my network hardware completely out. My friends use the same isp as me, same town and have no issues. 

it has to be a bug somehow. Since it doesn’t affect everyone it will be highly unlikely that it will be addressed. I just hope the next version does not have the issue.
