NBA Live fails to connect to server

Since i started the demo ive not been able to get it to connect to EA server. I can play the game and access any features not required internet. When the game loads up it starts looking for an update. It always gets to 15% and then stops for about a minute until the error messages comes up. NBA-DCFP. i assume its trying to download a new patch for the demo. any ideas?

    Hello. I found this on the web to fix my issue and it working. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eKzcto_uJ8A&feature=youtu.be

    I only change the primary dns to 4.2.2.4 and secondary dns 8.8.4.4

    I didn't have time to play a match online or try battlefield 1 or another game but i can sign to nba live 19 i will check later.

    Hope it work.

  • Tried all of these techniques and got up to 40%..but nothing past that..had the game 3 months now

  • Have you players tried making a bridge with a laptop to your console to get the Internet from via your laptop.

    Or used a proxy server which might help with nat types

    Or using a phone to create a hotspot with console

    Or used a VPN running off your laptop and either doing a wired or wireless connection to your console to be on a VPN playing.

    This might be good to bypass some geo restrictions and allow you to change locations using a vpn on your console. Here are some examples...

    Or if you have already a vpn subscription use connectify to make the connection from PC to console wired or wireless.

    This one you have to pay its a hit or miss for ppl it vpn with ddos protection

    All these methods are a bit of a hassle since it's much easier to just plug in a cable to your console or just use wifi but, it another way of testing to see if it helps with your connection to EA server by porting the Internet through another device to your console.

  • @BenJudah81 Greetings from the future. After many hours of research you guys were the only 2 dudes to figure that mess out 👏🏾👏🏾. Seriously til this day, ea has no idea how to fix this issue I’ve had it for months on the ps5
