@dannyfortuna does anyone read these posts? i've even tried to reach out on twitter but i still get no response. i've bought the EA sports nhl games since i can remember every year (probably 93 to current) this is the last one i buy for sure
Hey there,
I am not an EA rep, but i find myself in these forums quite often. Out of curiosity did you upgrade your console within the last year? I am new to playing nhl on ps5, so have never encountered this issue yet. Will gladly take a look though to try and confirm why this issue is happening. Really sorry this is happening to you two! Hopefully the community manager will see your posts today
- @PESKYHANS thanks for offering to help. currently my ps5 is up to date. it's an odd issue and we didn't have this issue last year and i am able to play any and all of the single player modes by myself. but once i try to add a friend in any of the single player hut modes it says my friend must have a psplus account. i took a video of the problem as well that i posted on twitter to EA but got no response there as well
- @dannyfortuna did a little digging and it turns out this is an annoying feature that playstation does in attempt to maximize profits from gamers who tend to hangout and play together. Seems wild to me this would be the case. But my best suggestion would be to see if you can create a secondary PS account (DO NOT subscribe to ps plus). If you set your secondary account to being “primary console” in settings, this might allow in game couch play access. Very annoying that these steps are needed, but it seems Sony is attempting to make all users require their own account.
- @PESKYHANS wow i would have never thought to even do that with her account. i will give it a try later today and get back to you. thanks for the help very much appreciated
- @PESKYHANS sadly this didn't work. i even tried to do a "guest" user as the second player and still didn't work.
- @dannyfortuna Funny timing. I just logged back in to see if you managed to figure it out or not. This is at least good to know for anyone else encountering the same issue. Definitely a bummer though to hear it didnt work out. Unfortunately it is starting to look like purchasing a secondary ps plus account is the only option. I will keep digging further into this issue though, so do check back.
