Invite Failed
All of NHL 22 we had massive invite failed issues and glitched lobbies in world of chel. Here we are a year later and I can’t play the damn game with my friends because the invite fails every single ...

Xbox. Through playing LG and randoms with my friends it has probably happened to at least 30 people that I have interacted with personally and I certainly don’t interact with a majority of the player base so I bet it happens to tons of people.
This was a problem all of NHL 22 from release day to now

Check the network settings on your console and let me know what it says for the NAT type.
When you say this has happened to 30 people, are you talking about people you tried to invite or that tried to invite you?
I’m saying for all of NHL 22 and now so far in 23, me, and various other people have invited and been invited to hundreds maybe even thousands of lobbies. I can’t check my NAT so I will have to get that later, however I find it unlikely that the entire xbox player base has the same one. I have played with probably over 200 different players in NHL 22 and 23 and constantly we will get say 4 of 6 players in a lobby for example, and the last 2 will get invite failed. The number of guys it happens to always is different. Then we somehow get all 6 in the lobby and then a guy or 2 will be unable to ready up and everyone has to leave to reset the lobby and the problem recycles. Last night it took my group 30 minutes just to get everyone in a lobby and into the game.

Not being able to ready up in the lobby is different than not being able to invite someone. Can you give me the steps you're taking and describe what happens when the invite fails? If you have video, that would be even better.
When you check your NAT, it should either be open or moderate. Type 1 or 2 on PlayStation. If you see strict or Type 3, that could cause invites to fail.
The work around for this is for one person in the club to leave the dressing room and invite in the world of chel lobby and wait for the person to join your group then come back into the dressing room after. It's stupid this is even a thing and was in 22 and still not fixed for 23 but I don't expect much from EA
